I find it hard to motivate myself to play games most days at the moment, let alone become addicted to them.

All I know is the quartering, youtube guy above, is a piece of **** garbage human being so I won’t be watching any of his videos to summarise.
Looking from the other side via twitter, I follow the VG247 journalist who basically said throwing milkshakes at fascists is great, queue the above dick making a video posting the journalist in questions public email address to his YouTube followers, who all decided to spam the email address in question with porn account creations and horrible stuff.
Don’t worry thought the YouTube guy told his fans not to harass the journalist, so everything is ok.
Edit- as the video is about a Eurogamer journalist I’m assuming it’s about someone who said something flippant like wouldn’t it be a shame if he got lots of YouTube strikes against his account for posting someone’s work email. The youtube guy said the email was on the website and public so it was fair game.
Double edit - I’m all for journalists having ethics and being held up to a decent standard but I’m not and never will back or support people that set out to harass and then say oh it’s not me harassing them, all whilst posting someone’s work email, twitter handle, phone numbers, house address etc. They are basically saying to their subscribers do your worst just don’t mention me when you kill someone.
Triple edit

I’m sure that if all violence in games, on tv and in movies was removed and/or banned, then all mass shootings will cease.
The hate filled, send them home rhetoric of President Throbber?
The accessibility of guns as easy as candy?
The relaxation of weapon accessibility for those with mental health issues?
The underlying widening of the gap between rich and poor and the breakdown of socio-economic justice in the US and the world at large?
The alienation of youth brought about by a myriad of societal and economic factors, worsened by the neo-con project?
The fear of difference, embodied in anti-immigrant rhetoric and legislation, and racial tensions plaguing society at large?
None of these matter. It’s teh gamz.

For years the likes of Daily Mail, The Guardian have looked to blame video games, never mind that sex crazed, drug head Keith Vaz and his calls to ban GTA ...
Videogames are a easy target, much like films . I grew up in the era of video nastys being blamed and Video games, rather than the people who committed the crimes...
