You both raise valid points, 30 years ago if someone would have seen someone have their guts ripped out, they would probably pass out, whereas now-a-days we'd probably say 'cool' 'thats like that game'

absolutely.. although, it was the inevitable result of us wanting more realistic games and therefore getting more realistic death scenes. some games are even built around 'death' thesedays..

Video games are the gate into the Devil's sanctuary! Repent now heathens lest ye be denied into God's white, upper class heaven!

That's true, but the same could be said about movies...and they usually show real people dying.

The only difference there is that whilst you choose to go and see that violent movie, in a game you actually have to aim and pull the trigger and kill some sort of enemy or friend. The movie is scripted and you don't choose who dies (until they make movies interactive to try and steal thunder from games which are becoming a huge industry and being regarded as interactive movies).

And you choose to play the game, knowing full well what it is about.

You're home schooled! How do you have any friends?! xD
jkjk <3

Srsly though, in violent games, most of them, we are fighting aliens that want to anally probe us.
If someone, other than... well, nevermind, wanted to probe in the anus, I'd want to saw them in half too.
>_>

;P

Nice point Ketchup. Though pointing that out to my school won't be too easy to get away with without some sort of punishment

Are you're teachers that uptight?

Are you are teachers?

I told you that extra school time paid off!

I was in school at the time, not paying attention, as usual. So no, not really. =x

People need to stop whining and saying video games kill people. I mean, I could understand if they were whining about killer horses, that is scarry shit, but to complain and say video games brainwash teenagers and make them kill their classmates is rediculous.

Didn't they blame Columbine on Doom?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:38 pm

I thought they blamed it on Marilyn Manson.

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:41 pm

Google confirms that it was blamed on Doom...who told you Marilyn Manson? Or was that a play on Family Guy from Sunday?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 4:00 pm

Meh, I thought I had heard it on the news way back when it happened.

Ketchup_Bomb · Post by **Ketchup_Bomb** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 4:11 pm

I thought Columbine was some dumb emo gone mad with a gun... >_>'

Who cares? As long as it wasn't my school. :p
