The TV is Broken- I'm Elated!

Normal people don't get excited about expensive appliances bitting the dust.  The is especially true when it's clearly the work of a child.  I, on the other hand, I'm THRILLED that the TV is dead!  Clearly, this needs explaining.  First, yesterday, we had 4 working TVs in our house.  There was one in the play room downstairs, one in our bedroom, one in the living room and one in Ellie's room.  The one in our bedroom is rarely used.  It's primarily for Vince to watch a movie and rest or for Evan to watch the last 1/2 hour of a game.  The TV in Ellie's room is hooked up to the WiiU so it's only for video games (we have about 3 WiiU games) and for watching Netflix.  She's usually pretty good about it, but one night we caught her watching a movie when she was supposed to be asleep and took the WiiU gamepad.  That was probably about a month ago.  I actually forgot we even took it until just now.  She never asks for it, she just plays with toys instead.  Third TV, in the living room, is the main TV.  Evan watches all of his shows on it and we watch all movies and DVDS there.  It's hooked up to the PS3 so there's the ability for gaming, but Evan never uses it and neither did Caden, until recently. He found that there's a free Minecraft download as well as some other free downloads so he can game on it without us actually owning the games.  The games he picked are not at all appropriate for a third grader, but I realized that too late.  I think I've said it before, but that kid is always one step ahead of me when it comes to electronics.  I try to police him the best I can, but he's surpassed me with his knowledge of devices.  So now I have to hide the PS3 controllers to keep him from playing the games that he got for free.  Lastly, the departed TV.  The guy in the play room.  The one I'm glad to see go.  It was the smallest (except for Ellie's Hello Kitty TV) of the main 3 and we'd had it the longest.  When we moved into this house and decided to put the XBOX and Wii and Blu-Ray downstairs it never occurred to me that it would be a daily battle--which I would lose--daily.   As I've said before, Caden is OBSESSED with Minecraft.  It's the only thing he talks about, the only thing he cares about and the only thing he wants to do.  As a punishment for one thing or another, Caden was always losing his iPod, his Xbox controllers and all of his other devices.  (I doubt he even remembers he has a DSXL it's been so long since he's played with it.)  He becomes a different kid when he's played a lot of video games.  A not nice kid.  Angry.  Short tempered with everyone.  I don't like it.  We try to keep him off games as much as we can, but he's sneaky.  We'll take the controllers so he can't play Minecraft and he'll use the blu-ray to get on YouTube and watch other people play mine craft.  Seems harmless, but it has the same effect on him, if not worse, AND they're adults playing so there's the bad language aspect of it.  So we'll take the TV remote.  The kid actually found the Wii that we weren't using in the closet, connected all the wires and started using THAT to watch Netflix and YouTube and even play games.  Always one step ahead.  Take the Wii remotes.  It's a constant headache.  It's not fair to everyone else.  Ellie wants to play Disney Infinity.  She can't because we're hiding controllers.  Vince wants to watch a movie, he can't because we've taken the remote.  If Caden would respond to other punishments we could use them, but the kids is OBSESSED.  He truly cares about nothing else.  I can't think of one other thing to take from him as a punishment.  But that's all in the past.  Now that that %$!@# TV is dead (clearly I've also been watching those Minecraft YouTube videos) I can send him downstairs to PLAY!  He'll be playing with toys.  Real toys.  Interacting with people, not through a microphone, but his siblings in real life.  I thought I could do this before, but because he's always a step ahead, he would have figured out a way to game when I thought he was playing with toys or siblings.  Now, I can relax.  I can trust that he's not gaming.  I'm no longer the bad guy, constantly fighting with him about watching YouTube or gaming or watching Netflix or movies (only two of the 4 TVs can actually watch cable).  Fate has stepped in to help me combat the monster I created when I first said, "Caden, do YOU want to try playing Mario Kart?!" Hello creative play.  Hello giving Vince the time of day and playing with him like he so desperately wants.  Hello playing OUTSIDE!  As good as Caden is with electronics. As tech savvy as he thinks he is.  There's NO way even he can figure out how to fix THIS:
