Enough with the bashing of XPU console, this topic bring us all gamers together in two words: Video Games, just saw this movie founding at kickstarter and I think it's a brilliant idea to let the non-gamers know what we do is not wrong, or led us to violence. Few days ago, I read an article from my church magazine (I'm Catholic) saying bad things about videogames. I know that it's considered if you do it more often, to be bad. But to the point of killing people because of games, has it really been proved??

What's your opinion of VG in general?

I think videogames are the only place where you can feel relaxed and pause all the crazy things that happen in the real world and forget just a moment.

I feel that you are joking, but not sure.

 

I think that videogames probably do cause some violence. But so does books, family, life situations, movies, internet, etc. Not one thing is to blame by itself. That is why politicians are more or less worthless. They just go after causes that they think will give them voter brownie points. Which they need to do from time to time to stay in office. But if they are not doing any good, and just staying in office for greed and power it does not matter.

i was joking with every fiber of my body

Documentaries are not watched outside of their core audience (gamers). You can tell this because no non-gamer is jumping to fund a gaming documentary or prove a political point about them.

Gamers may be "right" when they talk about it doing no harm, but their motivation is still self-interest.

Also "gamer" is a stupid word, "gaming culture" doesn't exist, and hero worship is a big problem for the world. It's the content that's good not the industry or people or culture.



I dont know, tetris seems innocent until i get to an over pass and have an urge to throw huge cinder blocks in different colors and shapes off the side. or worse someones head! :(
