Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

All American news is incredibly stupid, biased and they manufacture evidence.

I don't see what's so bad about this kid throwing away video games. He's choice. (maybe his parents, don't know for sure)

This is just idiotic. Seriously, when are people going to get their heads out of their asses and realize that the assumption that a violent video game has ever caused any act of murder against another human being is absurd?

Proof video games cause violence and aggressuon. Obviously you people have no idea what you're talking about.


That's one study... Sure it's valid, but not definitive proof.

A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.

I realize most of you nerds won't be able to discuss the topic without bias but I think subjecting yourself to murder for hours every day (even if it's virtually) will have some sort of effect on the mind.

Props to those kids.

You do realize you are on a video game developer's website, right?

The only times a video game can kill someone is when you get a blood clot for sitting and playing one for so long.

Until a video game manifests itself into a physical form and massacres people it will never be the cause of a shooting.

  • 12.21.2012 8:20 PM PDT

Link or it didn't happen.

Honestly I feel like when I play video games, I'm much more calm. It's an obvious stress reliever for me.
Had a bad day?
Kick some ass on Dota2.
Seriously, video games don't cause me to be violent. They calm me down more than anything else.
Anyways, that's just me. I'll let the troll fest/flame war continue now.

Funny how massacres and atrocities happen in 3rd world countries without the influence of video games...

It's just the media's scape goat for when bad things happen.


Whoa whoa whoa. I'm pretty sure people like Hitler and Genghis Khan were influenced to do what they did by violent video games like Grant Theft Auto and Halo.

Seriously. Every time a bull-blam!- study like that comes out another study comes out to counteract it and there's a lot more studies which counteract the myth that violent video games cause aggression.

Anyways. I'm not surprised, people are always afraid of new forms of media. Comic books were the scapegoat back in the 50s, Metal in the 80s and 90s, and now video games.

The secret service did a study that shows that there is NO link between violent and videogames and violent tendencies. In reality, only 12%, or one-eighth of the attackers studied even showed an interest in videogames to begin with.

Correlation does not equal causation.


Pretty much this.

You're closed-minded OP.
Oh really? Please feel free to show me one conclusive study that shows that video games lead to violence, let alone murder.

There is plenty of case literature that links violent video games and aggressive tendencies brah.
But is that indicative that violent video games cause aggressive tendencies or is it indicative that aggressive people enjoy violent video games?

Those studies are taken out of context.

A game can make you mad and throw a water bottle, yes. Thats aggression.

A game CAN'T brainwash you into committing murder. Thats nonsense.

Listening to certain kinds of music can make me more aggressive. Doesn't mean I'm going to go shoot up a school or mall because of it. There have also been many studies done pointing to the contrary, like the FBI study posted by the floodian a page back.

Equally ridiculous, however, is saying that there is no correlation between sprees and video games.
How so? Do you have any proof other than one study? Do you have any correlation between the increase of violence in videogames and homicide committed by young people per capita?
