If I hear one more thing about...

[Eggsnham]

Some kid killing his parents and some kook relating it to videogames somehow, I think I may go on a rampage myself.

Seriously, some of these stories are so stupid, so here's a spoof:

"14 year old Jimmy, was like any other kid, except he played.. VIDEOGAMES DUN DUN DUN! So when his mother asked him to it's no surprise that he went berserk and bashed her head in. With an XBOX controller! He was probably also a satan worshiper. This proves that the kid was corrupted by videogames and in no way provides evidence that children should have a psyche evaluation before being okay'd by a doctor to play video games rather than just full on attacking videogames. Don't do drugs and stay in school."

Anyways, what are your thoughts on this?

If you go rampage, they will blame video games.

Then you will have become what you hate!

Do you want that to happen?

 

[Black Rabt]

It is one of those situations where it is difficult to debate. Only a calm approach can be considered. And wheres the fun in that?

I am actually just about to go to a lecture on violence in video games so I am going to be hearing about that shit for the next few hours, should be interesting though.

 

[RiversEnd]

Too tired to post a psychological exposition for this.

The media is retarded because it's run by balding old guys who thought Pong was Satan's child because they sucked at it.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

Ha, my grandma(bible beating old wench) said I was a 'Satanist' because I was playing Morrowind. No other reason. It was weird.

 

[Doitpow]

Dude it's totally logical, it's like when i read harry potter and then sacrificed that guy to satan to gain magic powers

To ninja all the Nietzche Wannabes, OMG HUMANS SUCK LOLOLOL!!! Worship my kewl edginess!

There, ninja'd.

As for the actual topic at hand, we can just counter-attack with equally unproven "videogames are a godsend" arguments and create a war of attrition untill they die out. Because those who attack videogames are all 50 or older.

Hurm. Children are becoming more and more homicidal aren't they? I blame Lady Gaga.

 

[Sandwich Man]

Personally, I'm sick of people on this website trivialising horrible things to wank about how 'DA MEDIA HAETS VIDIA GAEMS' We get it, mainstream news sucks. Shut up now please.

You've ninja'd Nietzsche? I think he ninja'd you by a long time.

 

[Hazzaslagga]

I agree although were never going to change their mind unless we go and have a ridiculously gory beserker rampage outside their houses. it's so crazy it might just work

'pulls out a machete'

mind you you could replace playing video games with listening to metal (or maryln manson if your into that) and various other activities i can't think of and it will still be believed by some idiots.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

whoa calm down...have a soda and some crackers then take a nap and you'll be fine

 

[Kollega]

You've ninja'd Nietzsche? I think he ninja'd you by a long time.

No. I've ninja'd the wannabes.

By the way, Nietzche was never a nihilist. He does not work that way. GOODNIGHT!

 

[Eliam_Dar]

I assure you, we will hear more of this, everytime it happens anti-gaming activists will use it for their advantage. I assure you that around the globe there are kids that murder not becase of videogames, but just because they can, but we do not hear about it, or just from time to time.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Hurm. Children are becoming more and more homicidal aren't they? I blame Lady Gaga.

I blame rap music.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Just as long as parents/MPs/misguided people listen to the hundreds of valid counter-arguments provided by gamers, and take them into account, I'm happy.

I am actually just about to go to a lecture on violence in video games so I am going to be hearing about that shit for the next few hours, should be interesting though.

You should totally tell us how that goes.

That is quite possibly the best idea I've ever heard.
