Forums - Gaming - Buddhist Leader believes violent video games therapeutic

The reason that game is the best is because you can play it 4 players, it has amazing controls, and it has the Lee brothers from the Double Dragon games.

And yeah, Top Gun sucked. Watching my dad crash that plane was when I first realized my dad wasn't perfect. I was devastated.

Great post! Also, I spent so many hours just owning my neighbor in Super Spike V-Ball back in the day, what was it about that game that just made it so much fun? I spent the second most time on that game at my neighbors house, the most time spent was just trying to land my F-14 on the aircraft carrier in Top Gun, now that was a HARD game.

You mean crappy game?


Are you referring to Super Spike V'Ball or Top Gun? Because if you're referring to V'Ball, I'll take you out behind the woodshed and beat some sense into ya! But yeah, Top Gun is a terrible game, I just didn't know better at the time, I wuz pretty young. LOL!

What great memories, Super Spike V'Ball is probably the greatest volleyball game ever made, seriously.  I would even go on to say that Super Spike V'Ball is one of the most fun sports games ever made, I must have destroyed 2-3 controllers pounding the A button. 



I would also say that Super Spike V'Ball is one of the best co-op games ever made, and one of the best 4-player games ever made. The 2-in-1 cartridge that has that AND Nintendo World Cup is basically the best NES cartridge there is.

Anyway, a real Buddhist would not be able to fall madly in love with this game and play it for an extreme binge of his whole life, and that's why I'm not Buddhist.

Buddhism > Christianity confirmed! (?)

When looking at these religions fundamental belief systems, was this ever in doubt?


For me? Never, I just think this is the final nail in the crucif. . . errr coffin.

Well actually if you really studied the teachings of Christ and Buddha you would actually conclude that Christianity = Buddhism. It's just that Christianity has been subject to the manipulation of more extremist nutjobs in the latter period of its history.

Yeah there's a lot of evidence that shows Christianity was inspired by the Greek and Mesopotamian flavors of Buddhism at the time. The religions mixed a bit in that area, and they share some saints, statues, and other art because of it. The New Testament is inspired by Buddhism much more than the Old Testament.

Ahhh yeah, that's because the Old Testament predates Buddhism by a little under a millennium.

Back on topic: I wonder if it's Madworld this venerated monk plays when he's feeling not so zen with the world.
