First off, let's all thank Gus for posting something that got this stuck in my craw again, you furry-toothed bastard nerd, you.
Violent Video Games And You, Redux:
Okay. This has been said countless times before, and I've been one of the acoustically loudest (fear the once-asthmatic lungs! FEAR THEM!!), but apparently, it's not catching.
Violent video games are no more violent than the violent movies that stank up the movie theaters like so much testosterone runoff. In many cases, significantly less so.
Case in point, the recently-released Saw video game. Been drawing criticism about the violence in it, left, right, and center. But yanno what? Take another look at the source material, then pick the shards of glass out of your flesh, all you decriers, because the movies are at LEAST as violent as the game, if not more so!
I stand by my belief that, so long as the Saw franchise continues to make new entries into its canon, that no one anywhere has any right to whine at any volume about violence in video games. Why? Because they haven't been screaming about the fucking movies at all.
Oh. another thing to note, though this is so obvious that if you missed it, I'm gonna classify you as the sort who needs help dressing yourself in the morning: NEITHER the movies NOR the game are for kids. On the box(es) for both, there are VERY CLEAR RATING INDICATORS that say as much. Saw, ESRB rating: M. Every Saw Movie, MPAA rating: R.
For those of you who don't understand this:
MPAA ratings go G, PG, PG13, R, up to the almost-never-used NC17.
ESRB ratings: E, E10, T, M, and the almost-never-used AO (I've never HEARD of a game getting tagged AO)
G/E = Everyone can watch with little concern.
PG/E10 = Might scare the under-10's.
PG13/T = A teenage audience will be fine with this
R/M = Under 17 need parent's permission.
I'm undoubtedly preaching to the choir here, since I presume everyone who might read this entry has a brain that functions properly at least half of the time. Keep this in mind should anyone whine within earshot of you about violent video games destroying children. Remind them that kids, and people, have been getting fucked up long before anyone ever heard of a video game (see also Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and others

Loud. More specifically the Halo soundtracks the Firefly theme and Enter the Haggis. The latter of which is totally kickass. | | Movies |
Funny.
Oh can I count Viper GTS? | | TV Shows |
I have no use for this thing you call "teavee " save as something to plug my Xbox into. Dammit that reminds me. I need a 360 now.
Oh wait. Does Stargate SG1 count? Or Firefly? House? | | Books |
