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...
Magicman517 says:
nice ending
HitWithFish says:
the incredible stupidity of the media never ceases to amaze me. (or send me into a fit of laughing! XD)
Griffrules22 says:
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.
Griffrules22 says:
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.
Flux108 says:
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 ^_^
warbaine says:
since when does maplestory cost money?
igam93 says:
lol
OrangeElfo says:
LOL they all fail
Kotetsu says:
That's amazing! I lol'd
arrogantwormer says:
wow, these people are talking bullshit
Aquaflare says:
lol, ha john stewart rocks!
WeddingTakle says:
HAHAHAH loved the last one!!!1!!!1
tgmLAMBDA says:
lmao thank you purepwnage for making fun of the whole WoW and EverQuest will kill you fiasco
traget321 says:
You know why he liked kill people in the game?
Becaus he cant do it in real life!
lilgrim13 says:
OMFG Maple Story and WoW no ending ~suicide~
Some of this is Bull Shit And lol Dialy Show!!
dominator says:
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.
ssonicblue says:
Jack Thompson: School Shooting Expert? Read my lips: BULL--SHIT.
godofgaming says:
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.
mdneilson 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?

Frostzballs says:
I agree with #4 kids should not be playing M rated games ect as it piss's off us M gamers.
Eir says:
#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.
malcore777 says:
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
FPS says:
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.
Capernicus says:
Umm the Mass Effect Conflict? Anyone?
Capernicus says:
Screw you Jack Thompson. Screw You.
Spore says:
Oh that ending was so right.
DrRajo says:
I think they should test the games before taking a verbal shit on them, well, atleast they have not made it into our sanctuary.
Senriaa says:
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.
AnATOpiA says:
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 ...
sjoerdsuper says:
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHahahAHAHAHhahAHAHaHAHAH you think Halo 3 ,must be banned XD,
sjoerdsuper says:
leave my games alone : (
Cowtipper says:
"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!
avataraang12 says:
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.
EpicDanny2k8 says:
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!
norava says:
heh wow i rant waaaaay to much when im bored ;P
norava says:
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
UndeadCaesar says:
Haha, trash talking as #1. Shows just how clueless the media is on video games.
zalabar says:
As Brandon said, Lolz
cheeso says:
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".
ForTheHorde says:
eeeeew maple story
strangemodul3 says:
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.
Xenomorph says:
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
valzar says:
Oh and ofc that Everquest player commited suicide.... its everquest
valzar says:
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!?
Oxhorn says:
lolz
M1kk1828 says:
lol the media fails at life anyways
Zulu-Echo14 says:
Maplestory addicting LMAO, THAT IS THE MOST STUPID THING I EVER HEARD!!!
UlteriorMotive says:
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.
neexit says:
Don't you just love it when they avoid facts like Jack Thompson does with almost every question he answers :P
starfeeder says:
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
Deatheragenator says:
haha great end
pin says:
this is great.
