This is just depressing. It's the same uninformed arguments as are always thrown about when this happens.
Woman: He played games and watched violent movies, it was BOUND to turn him into a killer. One of them was even in Korean, it's OBVIOUS there's a link!
Man: What a load of rubbish!
Yeah, great. Where are the people who actually know what they're talking about?Comment

They're waiting on the line for a full 30 minutes and missing the whole of peepshow... Felt I had a zinger opening statement - "This guy didn't own a single videogame and his 'library of evel' banged on about Jesus but no-one's talking about banning the bible..." which I was gonna follow on with praise for Ico and a suggestion that violent games should have a 'nice toll' - ie buy GTA and you have to take your granny to the park on a warm spring day.
Anyway, main points to take away - the whole thing was a massively reductive look at a complicated issue, 5 live are a bunch of timewasters who would rather broadcast a series of muppets going 'well I play videogames and it never affected me...' and I feel very tired.Comment
