The Lockout

So, Im guessing your thinking, “What on earth happened to Season 2?” Well the emabrrising fact is, i forgot my password, yep, it’s true. So ummm I will be returning with Season 2.0.1 yep, we have a small patch to be loaded, with small (very small) improvements to my writing.Sorry guys.Oh, I’m not going to forget again, I kinda tattooed it with pen on my forehead. I looked at it in the mirror, and well it’s backwards, but I can get passed it. 

Sex, Drugs And A Joystick

This is something that really gets into my grill. The portrayel of video games in society. Recently the Fox News Network in America had a very one sided, Today Tonight style discussion about the long released game, Mass Effect (this is the discussion here in it’s entirety).

 Now after watching that, it infuriated me, again media looking for the easiest thing to blame for why the children these days are so screwed up. We see that every single person except for the games expert, have no real idea on what this game is about. Now as many of you would know I love my games (especially World of Warcraft) and I have been playing them since I was about 4 years old. Now it is true that there is a sex scene in Mass Effect BUT it’s nothing that you wouldn’t see at 7:30pm on prime time tv. After that discussion, the author of that book was forced into apologizing for the statements she made as they were false and completely misinformed. Shame on you, grabbing all that publicity for something you had no idea about.

Now, to the core of the problem. Here comes a revalation “GAMES DO NOT MAKE YOU KILL YOUR FAMILY AND TAKE DRUGS!!!” No, it’s envionment and the upbringing parents have enforced. Grand Theft Auto doesn’t teach you to shoot a gun, or slaughter policeman. Mass Effect isn’t porn, your children probably get that from the internet. Call of Duty 4 isn’t a reqruiting game for Al Quiada and Man Hunt on the Wii doesn’t instruct in the art of killing someone with a plastic bag.

Again “PARENTS TAKE SOME DAMN RESPONSIBILITY!!!”
