My thoughts on Jim's post about "Moral Kombat", the heaven-sent documentary to make people finally understand that gamers are the new terrorists
Don Other \| 11:43 AM on 12.01.2007	6 comments

Oh what the fuck. Why didn't they use the money they invested to make this movie to rent Mexican prostitutes?

Honestly, though we don't have to go over this again. No one here should be giving their comments on why these games don't actually make us perform terrorist actions. I really laughed out loud watching this. Just ignore it, there�s nothing we can do. The way I see it, is until video games are mainstreamed enough so that people like this have actually played many video games (as they have watched many films), this will never go away. Or until Jack Thompson gets a stroke.

If you haven�t for some reason read Sterling�s article, or for some stranger reason haven�t been on the front page� here�s the link

Watching the video made me nerd rage. :(

Apparently the actual film is actually fair-minded, but the director decided to cut the trailer to make it seem supportive of the "games cause violence" crowd to trick soccer mom types into watching it. Which is stupid, because that almost definitely won't work and they've managed to piss off gamers who will now dismiss it completely.

Gamers will only get violent when people say that gamers are getting violent. Ironic really.

Wardrox is right. But yeah: the stigmatization that gamers are all axe-wielding murderers won't go away until the older generation dies off in my opinion. They just don't "get it".

Games already make more money than most of the tripe movies that comes out anyways.
