Funny link. I think it's a really effective comic though. I mean think about it...at first more dudes will go try D&D, because it was all cute chicks playing. Then they'll realize that D&D circles are generally sausage fests, not hot girl fests (at the very least, the ratio will likely not be in their favor) and will be really disappointed and never come back.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
i love busting out a link to the Chick tract whenever someone brings that up. it's always good for a lol. :3
The bit where it says 'Debbie, your cleric has been raised to the 8th level, I think it's time you learn how to really cast spells' is the most unintentionally funny line of English ever written.
ok ok...I'm going to have to call BULL CRAP on this entire thread. Much to my embarassment, I'll admit that I did not initially read the original Lady's thread and just took what everyone was posting at face value. Sorry for that.
I guess my first question is: Did anyone actually read this article? Clearly this woman does not HONESTLY believe that video games were created by the devil. Satire anyone? Sarcasm? I read through a bunch of her posts on her blog and she seems like a pretty decent lady. She's doing things like taking her (adopted!) kids to the theater (not the MOVIE theater...the REAL theater), taking them to professional baseball games, buying them bikes (and other gifts) for christmas, helping with their homework, watching television with them, etc etc.

I read it and it doesn't seem so damning and like anyone other parent would bring up is Grand Theft Auto. Jeez... I really hate when people hate video games and the "evidence" they bring up isn't substantial enough to warrant an interest.
I was very happy when I heard that Jack Thompson was disbarred, I mean forum comments, YouTube commenting etc.
Anyways, let them hate. Apparently they forgot they were kids too and I bet their parents wanted them to put down the dolls or whatever was fun back in the Stone Age.
Hey, they made a Bible game for the NES! Stick that up yours!
Off-topic: Well they even though hugging was too intimate so they made this as an alternative.... Just watch and laugh.
It was thanks to video games I got the highest grade in english. Thanks Satan!
I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on hari-kiri rock!!! I NEED SCISSORS!!! 61!!!
You guys do realise that it's a joke article don't you? Clearly made up by someone like us, who love video games, to poke a bit of fun at those type of people.
They do actually exist, though, but it's mostly because of lack of understanding. Most of these people have never played the games in question, who they are aimed at (adults in most cases) and what benefits they can actually provide.
I've not actually read the article, but as you say, if it's not true, it's a parody of a type of person who very much does exist. Usually, it has to be said, from the USA.
There were a lot of problems I had with this mom. 1.) She brought up the mom calling the cops to stop her child from playing Grand Theft Auto 4 First off, the mom shouldn't have allowed him to play it. He's too young. Second, why did the mom call the cops instead of just unplugging the console? 2.) On one horrible afternoon that scarred me for life, I even saw a kid walking out of the public library playing a Nintendo DS. The kid was coming out of a public library. What do you think he was doing there, playing his DS? No, he was either reading a book, checking out a book, or doing research. 3.) I always had this fantasy that my house would be the one that all the kids congregated at after school. I would be the “fun mom,” the one who made popsicles, the one in the TV commercial with all the kids crowded around the kitchen counter, demanding more of those little pizza nuggets. Since when is that important to raising a child? You shouldn't care about being a cool mom, you should care that your child is getting the love and care he needs in his life.
Best thread ever

Remember my thread a few days ago? The one about the mom who said that video games were created by Satan? Well, she changed her mind. They were now, according to her, created by Lord Voldemort. http://themomblog.freedomblogging.com/2010/01/06/my-bad-video... My main problem is that she totally ignored the fact that video games helped the people that played them, not that they were able to overcome their obstacles. Also, again, all of her examples of video games are rated M and they are inappropriate for most children.
