You know, what you say here really hit home for me.

Saying that games are causing kids to lose their childhood is so presumptuous and ignorant it is really beyond belief.


My dad died when I was a teenager, and some of the best memories I have of him are when I would play Resident Evil 2 at night and he would watch me play (before this he new nothing of video games), totally amazed by the graphics and story. After that he would always stick around before going to bed to watch what games we were playing. We had an awesome time. Treasured memories for me. Now this fuckhead says games steal childhood. Games were a big part of mine, and so, to this arsehat I say a large (and wet) "FUCK YOU!".

There are always people that doesn't understand video games and refuses to understand them, thankfully they are ignored most of the time nowadays. People like the guy in this article are only quoted to be laughed at.

Childhood memories are childhood memories, they don't get erased from the mind if people play video games during their childhood. Oh, and sorry to hear about your dad.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Oh dear! I lost my childhood! Wait... I play Video Games and still go out all the time, this is nonsense!

Where do these Politicians come up with this crap? If you wanna make claims, at least do some research first.

Gaming actually enhances childhood. This post actually proves it. I can agree, times I spent gaming are one of the only things left I have to cherish.

Not everybody has the chance to go frolicing outside.

I can not agree more. Battle ogre 64 helped my reading skills immensly, while Age of Empires 2 got me interested in history.

I also remembered the long gaming nights me and my friends would have playing nascar '99 and super smash bros. on my N64.

it's parenting though, plain and simple. My parents wouldn't even let me play many teen rated games until I was 9. While kids as young as 6 today are beating up hoes and shooting the muslim stereotype in FPS games.
