Alot of people are saying there desensitized to gore all over due to games and films, it sounds like a fair theory but to be desensitized to it in real life is another matter. Gore on screen and off screen are 2 different things. When it comes to Games, Films and Anime I have a high threshold for it but if i watched a man or women there and then lose an arm to an explosion or get it cut off, I'm sure i would feel differently.

I think i'm just desesitized. But then again i'm a massive fan of gore, i love anything bloody and violent. Although i do get embaressed when i'm with my friends who have really low tolerence to blood and violence.
Example:
The movie Braindead or Dead/Alive, towards the end, too much gore to shake a stick at, there's severed heads, intestines, limbs flying all over the place. I'm laughing really hard, thinking the movie is just plain awesome. Several of my friends leave the room/cover their eyes/go up stairs.

I can take most stuff. The only time I've been a bit bothered has been A History of Violence, and maybe Eastern Promises. Also, the Battle Royale manga was pretty nasty.
There has never been an occasion where violence or gore has shocked me. Sometimes it will make me raise an eyebrow if it seems particularly excessive, or laugh if it's ridiculously overdone, but I've never been offended or shocked by it. But then I don't watch "gorn" style things. Not really my cup of tea. And while I'm fairly desensitised to violence in media, I imagine in reality it would be a very different story.
Can't think of any moments in games actually. Although on the butcher level of Hitman: Contracts I grimaced a little when I saw that girl hanging upside down. Due to some poor animation though when he picks up her arm as 'evidence' it looks like he's got a novelty toy.
Not sure about films. I watched the departed yesterday every time someone gets shot there's like an explosion, but it's not disturbing.
Seeing toes and stuff get cut off makes me cringe though. Even the implication of it.

I'm impervious to virtual violence, of course.
ALthough I don't like very gory films. It's just ugly.

Hey, if its fake like on tv and movies I can handle as much and as realistic as they show, but if it isn't I feel physically sick and can't stand the sight of it.
In games I can withstand any amount of dismemberments, decaps and disembowels and with the likes of war scene photos I dare say they could make them photo realistic now without bothering me.
However I just for the life of me cannot bring myself to watch a simple medical procedure on the TV.

for me, Dead Space is probably about my limit. Anything else is just too excessive.Bourne said:
