"The truth about violent youth and video games"

[Naudian]

Wow...my 1000th post...
I should say thanks to everyone on halflife2.net. It's been fun, and I'm glad I joined, I would have missed so much if I hadn't...

Anyway, I was just googling stuff for an English essay I had to write, and I found this funny article.

I LOLed a few times, thought it was great...but maybe I just need more sleep...

First off, I have absolute proof that video games are not the cause of this epidemic of youth violence in America. No, really, I do. Ready?

There is no epidemic of youth violence in America.

kekekehehe

I bet a lot of that is kinda BS, but I felt like sharing it anyways...

Hope it hasn't been posted yet...*does a half assed search*...uh nope!

I was thinking the other day, it isn't violence in games that would make kids angry, its how annoying the games are that they play...

Need for speed Underground - The ****ing cars don't handle or go round corners, its shit, no wonder people get annoyed with it, its the same story with Grand Theft Auto games, the missions are just too annoying.

tis true what he said, violent kids are attracted to violent medias

NFS:U got SO annoying after the 60st mission, because I couldn't beat the AI in ANY way (not even with cheats -_-)

I hated NFS: U because the fact that the ground was as shiney as your car...you couldn't tell where the road was because it's just a big mirror.
