Re: The Games Industry Reacts To The White House's Violent Games Showreel

@Cherkov With hands, with knives, with chemicals, with any item at their disposal. Stop blaming the gun.

The hearts and minds of our children and society has been corrupted and de-sensitized to death and violence. Many factors are to be blamed, lack of respect for authority, God, exposure to violence in TV, movies and video games.

Re: White House Meeting With Industry Execs Focuses On Violence In Video Games

You can't deny that what you are around affects you. As a whole, we are more violent than we were even 30 years ago. I remember when Mortal kombat first came out I saw some effects on kids.

It's not only games, look at TV, movies and music- so much hate and violence. No regard for the sanctity of life.

I'm not blaming the entertainment industry as a whole, but it doesn't help that so many kids are desensitized from violence and you can't blame the gun industry, it's a tool, it doesn't think for itself. There's a lot of blame to go around but different industries and schools of thought with the Outlook of life and respect.

If they go all digital, I am out. I have no interest in a company controlling what I have access to. It's their financial loss in the long run. I don't subscribe to music, I buy it on CD and rip it if needed. I'm just all talk, I've cut way back any ways on my gaming and entertainment as for me, it as really gone in a direction I am not interested in participating in- that includes TV, movies, etc.

Edit: I am one of the gamers that will take out my older games/systems and re-play them. I'm thinking about doing so with Mario 64 once I'm finished with Odyssey.

I brought mine to work once to show some co-workers. It definitely is more noticeable in the carrying case than compared to my 3DS XL but I am fine with that.

I haven't had a chance to use it much on the road, too bad I didn't have it back in October when I was out of town for the week.
