7) Accept violence as a part of everyday life? yea ok because the world we live in isnt violent at all.
3) how the hell can halo get you "psychologically ready" to kill someone? last time i checked (and i do check often) theres a big f****** difference between shooting a fake person in a game, and shooting a person in real life.
why the hell are these parents blaming video games for deaths, suicides, violence? if your kid turned out bad you did a bad job raising them. stop trying to put the blame onto someone or something else. its your fault, take the responsibility. if you think your kid is playing to much turn off the damn thing. take your role as a parent seriously.
...ahaha....ahahahahahaha
trained as a sniper on halo? is this a joke?!
Lol at the end. So good.
But what the hell is reporting trash talk going to do? These people really have no idea about anything.
Would you prefer that I killed virtual people, or killed real people? Ask yourselves that question.
Oh yeah!
lolzers!
ok, time to be serious:
trash talking=either parents' fault or trying to fit in because they don't want to miserable because kids pick on em for not doing it and then go to video games as a source of expression, outlet of rage, and building creativity, or maybe even learning to keep things in moderation or set goals for the day, or whatever...
oh, and I'm willing to bet someone wants to kill that attorney John whatshisface, but then they'd link it to video games.
Training snipers=wtf? you can't hold a sniper in one hand and condition your mind by video games... Target practice and simulations train snipers.
Personally, I think some video games went WAY too far in gore and bright lights, but they do put little stickers on the box, and they are requried by law to say that Epyleptics (that's right, right?) can get seisures from the game, so why is it such a big deal? The kids should know what their eyes and brains can handle. Also, there are some stubborn people who take one thing, oh say, the kid enjoyed killing people, and turn it into he loves the violence. Being a gamer, I understand where he's coming from. I had a really stressful day once, and killing people got the aggression out :)
go daily show
Why don't they get it. First of all when the kid said "because you get to kill people" they misinterpreted it. I see it as a stress outlet as many people do.
LOL. Media sucks. Who da heck plays maple story. It sucks. And I'm quiet and emersed in video games. I love counter strike. But i can never hold a gun. You have to be a video game addict, to understand one. Media can be so stupid sometimes. And minors playing M games, THATS THE PARENTS FAULT. Trash Talk is a part of the internet (and annoying one), your never going to end it. I dont see the big deal about it anyway.
ummm i use halo to get rid of aggression, i socialize on video games, and these were stupid points. half the time its parents being stupid, no1 can train themselves on a videogame. i abhorr the idea of killing, but i still enjoy halo. video games make very few people violent. really the worst they do to people is make them fat, i can't beilive none of these included obesity
" who the hell plays maple story? "
Do you take them serious?
Next time you make a video, adjust volumes.
The sound in this vid realy sucks.
Jack Thompson is fucked up
rofl
im sorry but is it wrong that i find it funny that we can now title someone a "school shooting expert"?
who the hell plays maple story?
its not the fault of the video games!! its the fault of the parents and the guys who buy them!
5 is obviouly for another reason they said the kid was quite never made eye contact of course he was bullied and killed those people
I agree, get the kids off those games!
Of course, all this "kids getting more violent because of video games" is bullshit, and is the cause of bad parenting. But I`ll have to agree to get them off, makes the games better for the rest of us. :P
HALO to train snipers?
Please.... All of this is bullshit, sure some games are just too violent for 9 year old kids. The aggressiveness of kids is caused by bad parenting. Some kids are also retarded and take *imaginary* things WAAAYYYY TOOO SERIOUSLY.
Number 10: ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
This is the best video on wegame.
I think it is funny that they even THOUGHT to blame the verginia tech shooting on video games when the killer was proven to have mental disorders! but i liked the end " As i stand there, watching them play these violent games, helpless to do any thing about it, I cant help but wonder where the system has failed!!" hahahaha so true, because so many parents are like that!
I like number 4 I completely agree that M rated games should not be purchased by people under 17 without parent permission. I'm glad to see most stores asking for idea when I go and buy an M rated game. As for the claims that people who are in school shootings train themselves on video games is bull. An FPS doesn't teach you how to hold a gun, for pete sake in most FPS's you are pretty much a walking turret. GUNS DONT AIM AT ONE LOCATION ALL THE TIME!
number 8 is true im 7 and i play videos games and im in jail for life for killing ever know it is not my fault i thought they would respawn like in the video games
lol at the end
. . . ? Most of those people should be on the show ''Bullshit'' Cause that was all I heard.. Who the hell can be that stupid? (Jack Thompson doesnt count since were still trying to find a category to put him in) And I would say that its idiotic statements like that, that would make me wanna kill than playing violent video games.
Jack thompson is the biggest frikken idiot ever trying to get media attention
Mapplestory's so gay!
bunch of crap that this guys are saying -.-
GOGO TONIGHT SHOW! I just love that man^^
WE HATE JACK THOMPSON DO WE %uFFFD OFC WE DO
LMFAO @ Stewart!
halo to train snipers,
lolololololololololoololloololololol
im sorry but...
lololololololololololoololololololololol
I beat wow... and BAM! Nightmare mode!
I don't get it. If they think video games are bad, they should complain about cars, you might crash and die, about sports, since almost all spots = an injury of some kind and maybe even live at all, since we're all gonna die some day. Freaking hippies...
nice ending
the incredible stupidity of the media never ceases to amaze me. (or send me into a fit of laughing! XD)
lol everyone finds it funny even oxhorn (i saw his comment) and well he is an awesome person and i would generally trust his judgement. Also with the trash talk, sometimes people get frusterated becuase everyone is better than they are, or its a joke, or f they really mean it oh well some people have dirty mouths, big deal.
actually the fact that i can kill a buncha people in video games helps me get out my aggression, that i take out on my brothers or bass guitar, if i didnt have videogames. Plus i play video games with my friends and i socialize through that. Jeez people how about you take a look at the people who dont kill others.
i don't understand jack. he sulks about selling games to minors but why dose he go after the video game makers and video game players and no the parents who buy the games for there kids... his logic confuses me
the last part made me laugh so hard. great video
maplestory doesnt cost money, but NX cash (the points you use to buy items from the cash shop) does cost money, 1000 points per dollar. there are many different items and item prices, but that would be where the money comes in. i used to be an avid maple player till i got into WoW lol ^_^
since when does maplestory cost money?
lol
LOL they all fail
That's amazing! I lol'd
wow, these people are talking bullshit
lol, ha john stewart rocks!
HAHAHAH loved the last one!!!1!!!1
lmao thank you purepwnage for making fun of the whole WoW and EverQuest will kill you fiasco
You know why he liked kill people in the game?
Becaus he cant do it in real life!
OMFG Maple Story and WoW no ending ~suicide~
Some of this is Bull Shit And lol Dialy Show!!
They're only airing these on the news because they are losing ratings, because of people playing games.
And who lets their 6 year old play games?
I didnt touch a more violent game than Mario till I was 13.
Jack Thompson: School Shooting Expert? Read my lips: BULL--SHIT.
My only point is:
The reason there is so much negative attention in the media, is because the people inside the industry mostly look at people like Jack Thompson and ignore the issue. The people industry should be more active in the media explaining how incorrect many of these claims are. Also, up till a recent study (published in "Grand Theft Childhood") all previous studies have been mostly bogus. Involving two test groups, one playing a shooter, and one playing a racer (or other non violent game). After 15 of play they gave each person a choice to "hold a button that blast an air horn in someones face."
Very weak evidence. The book "Grand Theft Childhood" was an actual study done over the last 12 years that points out how during the years where the most controversial games came out, those years saw the greatest decrease in violent crime. The book is full of stuff the in my mind, shows that Jack Thompson is an opurtunistic prick who is willing to take advantage of anything in order to keep taking the industry to court. Remember, he is an attorney, he does this because its an easy way to make money. Its our job, and the job of everyone in the game industry to stand up against him and disprove all the things he says.
Epilepsy, sure. Parents should pay more attention to their damned kids! It isn't the content, it is the parents (period). You teach your children that there is a difference between imagination and real world. Did kids in the 1920's not play fake war?

I agree with #4 kids should not be playing M rated games ect as it piss's off us M gamers.
#4 doesn't deserve to be #10. Ok, so they don't sell them to people that are underage. Big deal, if you can't get someone older to do it, then too bad. #1 just warns against trash talking. That's worse than blaming games on shootings? My ass. It doesn't even portray it in much more of a negative light than saying what to do about it, and those aren't bad suggestions.
Wow.... that was gay....
I think it is retarded how much people are downing on videogames. If someone is so phycotic that they want to kill people or themselves, that is their fault. A game doesnt have any effect on that
what a bunch of conservative idiots. Games makes us smarter thats why they are afraid. We strategize and we are quick thinkers...they have no game baby...we have the game. trash talk? yeah i learned how to curse at school not thru a game.
Umm the Mass Effect Conflict? Anyone?
Screw you Jack Thompson. Screw You.
Oh that ending was so right.
I think they should test the games before taking a verbal shit on them, well, atleast they have not made it into our sanctuary.
lol from the beginning! 0:40 "why do you like this game?" "because you get to kill people" and so typical for the media to aim the violent media spread to black people. Jesus guys, it just won't work.
guys it is not completely wrong because if the parents do not stop their children when they play violent games while they don't have age requested to play it it is more the error of the parents!
me I have three children and an only one can play GTA4 because he is 17 years old and I think that he is not deficient ...
so respect the logs ! or don't cry if you see that on TV ...
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHahahAHAHAHhahAHAHaHAHAH you think Halo 3 ,must be banned XD,
leave my games alone : (
"He never made eye-contact, he always spoke in a whisper, put this together for a profile." "The likelyhood was strong that the shooter here in Virginia Tech was an obsessive gamer".... Bullocks! He didnīt even answer the question!
These reporters are noobs, I bet they haven't even played any of the games they reported on.
I know people that criticised games, then played them and changed their minds.
All the people in that list are morons, and I'm not surprised that Jack Thompson was in it so often.
Thanks for the hilarious end!
heh wow i rant waaaaay to much when im bored ;P
heh some of these are just ridiculous, Ive read some of these cases (I Dont watch the news and was wondering who jack thompson was) and its pretty much like this
The kid who commited suicide from EQ had severe emotional problems WAAAAAY before everquest came out
The shooter at the school played CS when he was 14 or something for a bit and had been LOOONG done with it by then
Jack Thompson sucks
I never read anything on the Halo guy, but where did he get the proof that he was trained on halo? Did he hack Xbox Live? I mean Seriously some people act like just because people play violent games means they will be more violent, in fact at times it can mean just the opposite, it calms them down and lets them have a outlet for there rage that come from RL things imo, video games dont predict who you are, just because i used to be good at a racing game on the XBox doesnt mean Im gonna be a profesional racecar driver,
Jack Thompson is so crazy he twists the bible scripture (no lie) so that even though its a netural statement that says thing can help and harm, he makes it look like its talking about games harming (which they dont)
If people trash talk on games, most the time its a joke (except for those lying five year olds who claim to be in a gang, them they ARE a joke :P) and the kids nowadays who trash talk are doing that because thier family either allows it or they were raised in such a way that they think that if there peers are doing it they can too.
The moral here is: Jack Thompson needs to shut up and get over it
There we go my pointless rant ius over, you may continue on with ten less seconds of you llife and forget it :P
Haha, trash talking as #1. Shows just how clueless the media is on video games.
As Brandon said, Lolz
I like how the top ones have jack thompson. Nice try, Thompson. Better luck next time, if there is one. MORAL OF THIS STORY: Making video gaming your prime concern isn't working. Game is in the title, and the definition of game is "an amusement or pastime".
eeeeew maple story
Oh boy, more sharp editing to make video games look bad. Seems like most people like to pull on the emotional strings rather than give good and informed arguments.
games shouldn't be hit by anyone its not the games fault its the players fault
if a kid is gonna keep playing to aggravate a freaking photosensitive siesure its his fault
if a kid trains himself on a game he chooses to do so
if he trash talks he chooses to do so
if a kid is more aggressive he chooses it
Thats what i have to say im 13 and ive been playing games for 6 years i have yet to actually see the signs of killing someone or being more aggressive
Oh and ofc that Everquest player commited suicide.... its everquest
My name is Joe, and I've played violent video games for the last 12 years, and I havn't killed anyone... yet.
And WTF with the Maplestory!?
lolz
lol the media fails at life anyways
Maplestory addicting LMAO, THAT IS THE MOST STUPID THING I EVER HEARD!!!
I actually agree with the trash talking part of games. Mute button ftw!!
That doesn't sound like an attack against gaming, more like an attack against obnoxious rude people and I favor attacks on them.
Don't you just love it when they avoid facts like Jack Thompson does with almost every question he answers :P
omg FOX is LIES! That VT guy never played any FPS games... just listen to the interviews by his family AND roomates.
Plus digg and stumble this video, politicians = morons
haha great end
this is great.
