Gaming industry veteran Scott Langteau (Medal of Honor, co-founder of Spark Unlimited) is very familiar the fact that as a child, he himself was a Sofa Boy. Spending countless hours on the couch, ignoring family and friends’ pleas to do homework, play outside and put down the videogame controller - he was deeply entrenched in “Sofa Boy Syndrome.” Scott has penned his first children’s book on this very subject, with Sofa Boy, which tells the tale of an average boy with a bigger than average obsession with videogames. With vivid illustrations and a clever rhymes scheme, the book teaches a lesson of moderation to kids, as Sofa Boy’s fantastical fate helps kids remember to balance their gaming time with other activities. Releasing February 16th, Sofa Boy resonates with kids and parents alike!
