* Andy Kessler: How videogames are changing our economy

* Ethan Mark: A list of the actions the SEC was supposed to have already taken to implement Dodd-Frank, but hasn’t.

* Today’s big deal is that Facebook is raising up to $2 billion from Goldman Sachs (and others) at around a $50 billion valuation. I wrote about it here, and Felix has a particularly good take.

* Morning Call: U.S. futures point higher and European shares climb. London is off, but rose 9% last year. The Nikkei was off 3% for 2010.

* Dave Barry’s year in review: Why 2010 made us sick

* Robert Armstrong: Clear Channel’s looming debt crunch is a confidence test

* Run away, run away: DFJ wastes no time, dumping $60 million of Tesla stock.

* David Toll: Limited partners are playing a back-room role in recruiting new general partners

* Interesting timing: Head of investment banking at CICC quits, just as PE firms are buying a 34.4% stake

* Hey, someone needs to do something about this real estate mess: Hank Paulson takes a bath on his DC home.

* Dow Jones: VC-backed liquidity begins to stage a comeback. Wonder when (and how) the data providers will begin accounting for liquidity from secondary share sales (like Facebook, Groupon, etc.)?

* Ann Woolner with some practical advice for those whose New Year’s revelry last all weekend long: “Unless you return to work obviously hung over, inebriated or sipping some hair of the dog from your coffee thermos, your employer can’t legally test you for alcohol.”
