All the World's Wrongs: Games At Fault!

[Dogg Thang]

About pointing out people overreacting about people not actually overreacting? Yep, pretty much all the time.

[Guts]

Please, it's quite clear what the point of news like this is. Creating panic for the masses about the "evil" of games.

Btw: there are your calls to ban the game in the comments section.

[Dogg Thang]

Yep, it is. You do the exact same and I'm beginning to think you don't even realise. You went from one article about the mugging to GTAV being banned in a single move. And so what you are both doing is reacting to a fabricated worst case scenario rather than reality, which is a somewhat more chilled place than the Daily Mail.

[Guts]

That (banning the violent games) is the end goal these certain nanny state people want, whether they directly admit it or not. You can read it between the lines in all of the news when some nutjob played Call of Duty or what ever like in the recent U.S. shooting.

[Dogg Thang]

Yes, well unfortunately these people are clearly paranoid.

[Guts]

I see what you did there. Well, you're not reading my mind you authoritarian space reptile! Buahahahahaaaa! *grabs tinfoil*

[Dogg Thang]

Lol.

->Open Spoiler<-

I do agree with you on the Daily Mail crowd. Also your tin foil hat doesn't concern us now that we own the NSA, Google and Apple.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean to say that they're not out to get me.

A bunch of workmen called me a nutter today. Well, they didn't actually say that; they hammered it out in morse code.

[nakamura]

Liar. There is no evidence of workmen ever working.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I still blame that lickytongue sushi minigame in Pokemon Stadium for the childhood obesity pandemic that occured afterwards.

Actually I did see a group of road repair guys stop for a work-break once.

"Those who said they had no experience watching or playing violent games were more than five times as likely to think they were a cause of aggression, and those who had never played games themselves were over three times more likely to think games were linked with violence."

40% of XBL users are female? That's incredible. Is it incredible?
