Computer Games - She Just Laughed Because My Joke Lacked Comic Timing (Lyric Video) 
 This is a song that Chuck wrote more than 10 years ago after I dragged him to a Parkour class which caused his arm to dislocate. I have loved this song for years. I love the reckless abandon of the whole structure, I love the garage rock feel, countered with the over-tuned vocals for flavor. Chucks attitude mixed with the vocal production has always stuck with me, and was insistent that we keep this new recording as close to the original demo as possible.

We Are (All) Family With AJ Jacobs and Brothers Darren and Chuck Criss
Scientists often refer to the concept of "family bias," which states that we are prone to treat family members better than strangers, even if that family member is a distant cousin. Does this mean we could achieve a more unified and inclusive world if everyone understood that they were part of the same "genetically proven" family tree?
On the latest episode of Spit, host Baratunde Thurston sits down with AJ Jacobs, NY Times best-selling author of “It’s All Relative,” and brothers Darren and Chuck Criss of the band Computer Games to discuss the concept of family and the potential for creating unity across the entire human population.
Both have very different stories and experiences. Darren and Chuck share how they were raised as a close-knit family in San Francisco, thousands of miles from relatives across the country and as far as the Philippines.
“A lot of our cousins and extended family, we didn't really know growing up because it was just on the other side of the world and we didn't grow up in the age of social media and everything, so it wasn't till later in life we connected with them”
AJ, on the other hand, shares how being approached by his “12th cousin” ignited his quest, through research and science, to unite the entire human race in one all-encompassing family tree to prove how every single one of us is related through genetics -- even going so far as to create the largest Global family reunion.
“At the Global Family Reunion, the moment that I feel that it was most united was when 75% of Sister Sledge was singing "We Are Family" and everyone was singing along in 40 different countries. It was quite moving.”
Listen in as our guests’ curiosity to understand their DNA unfolds into their DNA families and some unexpected stories.
Darren and Chuck Criss continue to work on new music for their band Computer Games and hope to release their next track in the new year. http://weplaycomputers.com/
AJ Jacobs is set to release his latest book "Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey" in which he “thanks every single person who had a role (however small) in making his morning cup of coffee possible.” ajjacobs.com @ajjacob

darrencriss: Thanks @directv for letting @charlescriss and I (aka @weplaycomputers) crash the 25th year anniversary touchdown for #NFLSundayTicket! I don’t know how strong my #DTVinfluencer status is, but hopefully it’s strong enough to get @rsherman25 to bring the @49ers to Super Bowl 2019!

Hey guys! We’ve got something else to add! As one of the mods of this ST, I’m going to be donating three of these Computer Games at Teragram tote bags from my Redbubble art account and will randomly select three people who have made a donation of at least $10 to send one to! If you’ve already made a donation of at least $10, you are automatically entered! Alternatively, if you’d like to purchase anything else with this design, or the Darren/Chuck ones, any proceed I make for April will be donated to Guitars Not Guns!

Here it is! Chuck's 33rd Birthday Campaign! We are raising money for a non-profit called Guitars Not Guns in light of recent events and hope to share music with kids in the US who are underprivileged and at-risk of gun violence. Please read/share/donate! Guitars Not Guns is an anti gun violence organization that runs entirely on volunteer work. The money we raise would go into bringing an 8-week long guitar class to about 10 students and at the end of the program, they even get to keep their guitars. We have a goal set to raise $500 which would fund about half of the cost of one of these classes, but even that would still be amazing! If you want to know more about GNG, please check out their national website here.
