You know, if it'd have been their teachers, it would've made so much more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR-0927 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I don't care who thinks video games make people violent, they are wrong. People that are violent after playing video games have problems, mentally. Usually just depression and weird disorders that make them kill people. And, they are socially challenged or anti-social, etc. Some of these fools play video games to help them when they commit the violent crime. They might as well go and do some archery or practice with a BB Gun (or Paint Ball Gun), but video games are more conventional to improve aim and reflexes, etc. Here is an example: Some murderer likes Halo 2. He/she buys it, he/she plays it, hey/she kill some person in real life. I bet you that Halo 2 would be blamed for it, just because it is a violence-filled game. Just because it's there and the media wants to make easy headlines. Here is another example: Some druggies smoke pot snort crack, etc. They buy Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. They get caught. All of a sudden, it's the games fault. Even if they were drug addicts earlier. It is just something that will make the media look better, portray games as bad, and make some news. Either that, or they just suck at making conclusions. Things are almost never as they seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 i would stand in front of a sniper who learned to shoot on Halo all day. firstly, Snipers in Halo shoot while standing or jumping, you would be just in danger behind a shooter in real life as in front of one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 When is blaming the games ever going to get old? It is YOUR fault you did it no one else. If someone is playing a game that actually DOES screw with your brain then they shouldn't even be playing games. Games are for the things that you CAN'T do in real life(or most of them anyway) They are like graphical books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Yea I remember when they blamed the music. It got old so eventually I am hoping blaming games will get old too. Then they will start blaming Virtual Reality games because it really seems real. "THE VIRTUAL REALITY GAME MADE ME DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH LIKE REAL LIFE!"

Vikinor Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yea. No one wants to take the blame for what they did, including me sometimes. I do find that thing about library cards pretty funny though. "Oh look at me I have a library card I am cool." Then library cards get outlawed "Fonzie made me do it." I guess it's sorta like with that Chappelle show skit with the Rick James guy and all these kids are quoting it and they don't even know who Rick James is/was(R.I.P.) I guess their life sucks so bad that they have to copy something else for instance games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... because... saying something to get a chuckle out of your friends, even when you don't fully understand the joke... makes your life suck incredibly... Walk me through the steps. How did you come up with such a ludicrous conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Originally posted by VikingLarz When is blaming the games ever going to get old? When this generation of gamers grows up enough to outnumber "those who came before". In the same way that "rock n roll" was considered evil until it became mainstream. Then they burnt comics because they were corrupting kids. Then they went after movies and videos. Or rap. Or heavy metal. We are nearly there, the number of over 18 gamers is much bigger thant he number of under 18 gamers. Gaming is becoming integrated into other entertainment (through things like ps3) and will soon become just another entertainment medium. Soon (if not already) media editors and journalists will also be gamers, then they won't be so scared or so quick to attack it. Hopefully he publishers will grow up a bit too and release a few more mature titles. Mature in the sense of grown-up... not violence and boobs. ------- By then the kids will be up to some new "fad" that us old fogeys won't understand, and we will take our turn blaming THAT for whatever goes wrong in society. ---------- Intil i see vids of killers running into rooms and then running out backwards with guns blazing and waiting for victims to follow them through the door then i won't believe doom trained ANYONE...
