Defend Games!
Ok so im getting really pissed of at my mum who wont let me play HL2:Ep1, im 19 for crying out loud
I only have to put up with it for the summer till i move out back to uni, cant come soon enough.
But one of her favourite quotes is that im being de-sensitised to violence!?!?!?!? I might start playing GTA to show her what computer game violence is all about!
Please can you guy's back me up with statistics and witty comebacks so i can prove that video games are not bad. I dont think she realises the difference between fantisy and reality. Grr!
/Rant
Strange how all the media hype filters back to personal life

You should try http://www.gopostal.com, it's often frown upon also. The demo is actually pretty good and lets you play online.

I have yet to read anything that says violent games "will" have an adverse effect. Everything always says "may" or "could"... then the media jumps on it and freaks parents out. After all, "may" or "might" won't bring the ratings in.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

haha, It's been a while hasnt it. Well I got to move out to uni and build my own PC now so I can play whatever I want now. Though it still fustrates me when people blame violence on videogames, take germany right now, they are proposing a law that can imprison you if you make/develop/sell/play violent videogames. GRRR!!!
