At 8:30 - GTAIV causes an influx of illegal immigrants and Dragon Age linked to dragon sighting.

Stay tuned for why the Fallout series increases the likelihood of a nuclear Armageddon by 11%!

Playing GTA or Bulletstorm does not make me want to go out and rape people.

Harvest Moon, on the other hand...
See, for me it was always Tetris....
I am now in the process of constructing an analog clock face with the word "Tetris" replacing each number...

Oh, my! Look at the time!

It's True!!! All those hours of playing Solitaire have turned me into a blood-thirsty degenerate. Why, even the sight of spades at Home Depot sends me into a RAGE OF UNSTOPPABLE SORTING AND MATCHING!!!

Honestly though, I'm pretty sure these are the same numbnuts who wrote books about how D&D teaches kids how to summon the devil http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Prepare-for-War/Rebecca-Brown/e/9780883683248/?itm=2

I am a rapist, if your definition of "rapist" is "someone who sits at his desk all day at his computer or playing video games and has not once touched anyone of the opposite sex in pretty much any way". However, if you are using the conventional definition of "rapist", I am quite the opposite.

What!!! There is no yes option. That's bias. Rapists are people too. Why aren't you giving me the opportunity to represent myself!!
Just cause I keep people chained up in my basement and don't feed them doesn't mean I shouldn't be proud of myself.
That was sarcasm by the way. I do not have people in my basement.
In all seriousness mehh.. This stuff will blow over in about ten years. And unless something seriously drastic happens between now and then (which it probably won't) we''l be fine. Irritated and inconvenienced bu fine.

I don't really care about how mass media portrays games. Mass media is a reflection of the contemporary view of things and games are still a topic of little knowledge to a great number of people. Watching the news for games is like asking a man who's only been to Europe once to write a tour guide on France.

I chose "No" on the poll :D
I AM SO UNIQUE!

Weirdness aside, yeah, the media is a crazy force. Unless every video-gaming person in the world simultaneously snaps and goes on a blood-filled ramage, I think we can just wait this one out.

Crazy avatar helped deliver that :D lol

OT: As has been said, people fear the unknown, so the media will exploit that to make money. It also doesn't help that there are 'chavs' who are liable to play 'games' like CoD all day and then go out and be delinquents... And people will just say that games are making you violent and that's why there are so many chavs! Yes people forget that games actually have age ratings, and it is ultimately up to the parents what younger children play.

I love the one option poll.
I'm not a rapist yet, but Fox News says I will be once I play Bullet-storm.

I love the poll options!
I actually think rape is disgusting! How dare that ***** call me rapist! I find it annoying that a news agent can blow-off an entire subculture. Assholes.
