I love video games and I think gaming is a great past time. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it trains your hand-eye coordination and reflexes, and some of the more epic and story-driven games can actually be very satisfying works of fiction.
That said, gaming can also become an all-consuming habit. Video games can’t really be addicting, [...]
When future peoples look back into their ancient past and wonder what life was like in the early days of the twenty-first century, I really hope they don’t stumble upon Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight and take it seriously.
Mike came across this atrocity of a Street Fighter game and decided to analyze its political [...]
That’s right, friends. I’m a terrorist, and a threat to society. Maybe you should rethink associating yourselves with me, you never know what I might do.
FBISD officials said Tuesday school administrators weighed the violent nature of the computer game – a modified version of Counterstrike – along with the discovery of swords in the boy’s [...]
This may be one of my favorite news articles ever. Which isn’t saying much because usually the news is ridiculous and does nothing but fear monger, which is why this MSNBC article by Winda Benedetti is so surprising.

A new study has been released by the Indiana University School of Medicine that links violent video games to increased activity in the amygdala of children between the ages of 13 and 17. Stop the presses!
The study involved a group of teens; half of them played Medal of Honor: Frontline, while the other half played Need [...]

Why aren’t these people going to be buying the PS3, you ask? Well that’s like asking why a gorilla can’t understand the theory of relativity.
Because the people at Sony are piece of shit [...]

First up, Spiderman 3 news.

You may remember a few earlier posts in which I talked about what an ignorant bastard this guy is. I really don’t understand what kind of delusional world he lives in, and what people in his little world believe in, but I really think he’s crazy.
In response to a 16 year old kid killing a [...]
Amen to this study.
For years we have heard crap like "video games make you lazy," "video games burn your brain," or "video games create murderers." But those anti-video game crusaders need to start shutting up and paying attention to studies that praise video games.
We have also heard that video games can help improve hand-eye [...]
