The Mind Of OverlordTomala

With all of the shootings that have been reported lately, someone has decided to take a stand and point the finger rightfully where it belongs. Violent video games…

Violent video games are drawing new scrutiny in the wake of the Newtown elementary school tragedy. Some gamers are already giving them up … voluntarily.

Reminds me of the good ol 90’s. When games like Tomb Raider and DOOM were considered to be evils of society. 😛

“All of it is kill, just kill as many people as you can without dying,” Max Goldstein said.

They’re opponents… like in war. I supposed next war is going to be outlawed?

Each one is what they call a “first-person shooter,” a game in which the player looks at a digital landscape through the sights of a weapon and uses it on enemies.

Or a fish! You can slap people with a fish! TF2 taught me that so we should outlaw those too!

“We hope people will drop off … and destroy them,” said Jackson Mittleman, Goldstein’s brother.

The adults are wondering why they didn’t think of it first.

Why doesn’t he just trade his games in for something that would fit his personality… Like say, Peggle? Or Barbie fashion expo!

But no… Whenever something like this happens people seem to want to divert from the problem. The problem doesn’t lie within what we play on the compute or console, nor is it what we watch on TV or in the theaters. It’s the people who have the desire to commit these crimes who are to blame. They can easily access these weapons. That, is the problem. I say this as a pro gun person.
