Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
They should throw a few Bible passages on the screen and tell everyone that books make people violent. Seriously, the book is probably the most dangerous medium available because it can make the reader believe it's reporting real facts and twist them to influence the reader (propaganda). A videogame doesn't pretend to show… -
Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
[ QUOTE ] There is a sudden rise in violence between teenage girls. It would be difficult to blame video games for that one. [/ QUOTE ] They fight over the few boys left that are interested in girls, since most of them have only interest in their violent videogames. As you see, it's all related! -
show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
Agh, my eyes! I was watching a show on A&E about teenage killers and I was just waiting for them to bring out the video game angle. What they showed was a clip from a forensic animation showing a kid on a bike getting shot from a vehicle, they then jumped to a closeup of a kids hands playing with a playstation controller.… -
Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
Justin : The instance you're describing is heinous, to be sure, but not another example of videogames' influence. Sounds more like irresponsible journalism via A&E. Like, the show's producer wanted the most violent video-game-style image they could get, but couldn't be bothered to actually find some God of War clips or… -
Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame

Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
They are influential. That has been provn time and time again with other forms of media. It doesn't mean someone will go out and shoot their neighbor. It does mean however, when presented with a real violent situation, they wont react as much. In short, it can makes us less empathic towards real pain. I guess it could be… -
Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
Many games today, due to advanced graphics and lack of good ideas, ARE simulators. And a few top selling ones include the possibility of emulating murder without any gameplay elements to justify a reason for it. This is why games such as Gran Turismo don't allow racers to plow through a crowd on the sidelines. -
Re: show passing forensic animation off as a videogame
Vig: The Bible was mostly misused, yes but there are other books that were written to influence the reader. Hell, read something by Michael Moore or one of those other "great political authors" and you'll already find a piece of self-conclusive propaganda that can only be dismantled with very thorough research. Or a… -
