I've been using GMail since the 'private invite' era and I have to say it's the best thing to happen to e-mail. I don't know why anyone else would want to use this service. The only feature I don't really use is the in-mail chat, but that's only if you don't want to bother with messenger clients.
I agree with most (if not all) responses here. Video games or any other media do not control what your actions do. It may influence someone, but even then that's all the game did.
