A ticking time bomb, a kid-friendly version of Russian roulette and a game about smashing a naked man’s body apart with a hammer — and they say video games are too violent?
The most recent episode of YouTube series TheyActuallyMadeThat takes a look at how families passed the time at night before mobile phones, computers and video games. “Hey kids, let’s turn off the television and shoot each other in the face!” I guess it sounds crazy when you put it that way.
