Nightmare Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 That article is such a load of bull. I've played Mortal Kombat and other violent games from when I was 3/4 years old, and right now I'm the calmest person in the whole family. Seriously, I'm not aggressive in the least. And I've played a game where you rip out the guy's fucking spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camus The Dark Knight Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 That guy should probably Ban mechanics and programming and such from colleges to as they are really quite the same thing as programming a game. The only difference is a game is for leisure while most programs work as a tool. Either way, it's a money maker which is what college is generally used for (aka getting a good job to make money). And even you just want the knowledge of it, the mechanics of a video game are just as valid a subject as the mechanics of a car or the biology of a plant.

CGV Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 [joking]I think he tripped one to many times in Brawl. That's why he made that article. He got too angry from all the tripping, so he's trying to warn the rest of the world[/joking] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Speak the devil my friend did a research paper on violence in video games and it shows that since the time Doom one came out violence has been down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
