CBS debates Video Games

(1/5) > >>

Jiperly:
Since no one else will hotlink the links from MacHall, then i'll take dibs on the issue. Na-na!

In an online editorial, two people from CBS have set up a debate over Video Games, Violence, and their impact on society. Their first week they talked to a lawyer, their second they talked to the creator of a successful Online Comic Ctrl+Alt+Del, next week they'll be talking to the creator of the online comic VGCats, and so on.

Of course, some people still have tiffs with the seemingly bias through the choice of opposition- a lawyer vs. a comic artist- as one person said "like you're having a cookoff and you make it a professional chef versus a guy who thinks meat is pretty cool."

None the less, i think Tim Buckley of Ctrl+Alt+Del makes very good arguements, while the lawyer seems like they're just kicking up dust. Of course, thats just my belief.

Jack Thompson, game regulation advocate

Tim Buckley(Absath) Of Ctrl+Alt+Del

I'm not one to become offended very easily but somehow all the things that Jack Thompson says hits me the wrong way.  It sounds like he's saying that I'm not able to tell the difference and "Garbage in, Garbage out?"  so your saying my mind is filled with garbage.  

"Yes, just as Ted Bundy escaped into pornography. It is not a release of aggression. It is training for aggression."

So he's likening people who play videogames to serial killers.  No wonder a lot of people don't like Jack Thompson,  I'm not a serial killer, I never plan to be one.  So why would you say that I am?  

This man makes me angry.

Digs:
That Mr. Thompson is attempting to draw analogy between Bundy and any sound-minded gamer is hilarious enough to bear mention.

This whole thing is retarded anyway.

happybirthdaygelatin:
Okay, so video games will make me violent and if a female floats in water she is a witch?

Abattur:
Tim Buckley is doing quite well. I didin't even bother to read what the lawyer had to say... Nah what the 'ell...
