BAHH TO TV + PROFESSIONALS....
Kyttie | 4:13 AM on 10.20.2007 158 comments


this is all in response to Jim Sterlings Recent Blog containing a video of a 'professional' Psychologist bashing Halo 3 and all other 'violent' games.



after watching the video (and reading the responses) went to see if maybe I could find what part of the brain it was that was being used, and came to an interesting conclusion.. the brainscans shown in that clip are completely bogus! Now let me clarify, they are obviously real.. but no brain scans are done in that direction due to the geography (for lack of a better word) of the brain, there is absolutely no way to tell from those pictures if the activity is in the frontal lobe, or any other 'depth' from what I've found, all/most (I add in most because I'm sure they exist, but I wasn't able to find any) brain scans are done from the top, so at least tha way they can get a general Idea of what is going on.

Now to kinda continue from where I spun-off, these photos are telling us that while playing a 'violent' video game, our brains are more active in:
A. Smelling something
B. Our Vocabulatory Dictionary or
C. Looking at something
.... how does that make any implications towards violence? I'm so confusled.. but let's move on...

now if it were a 'violent' thought running through the brain, wouldn't it be considered and impulsive or emotional thought? well uhh.. wouldn't that be on the other side of the brain then?

someone please tell me that she has SOME idea of what the hell she's talking about... please?? (*listens to the crickets from the audience*)

BAHHH sorry.. this lady just seriously annoyed me!!!

I hope I am not breaking any laws here, as you look a little young. I saw your pic to the side here, and you are just unbelievably beautiful. Good blog, informative and all. That and your pic are a refreshing distraction. I am at work doing a double shift overnight, and I'm finally taking a break from FF Tactics after 12 fucking hours. Awesome game, good post, hot fucking pic. Thank you
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Also, BTW, if you did a shoot for Nerdcore, I think I would buy the fucking Calendar, just for your pic. Thanks again, I'm fucking bored. I have only taken 3 X-rays since 12 am, it's now fuckin almost 6am. So Bored.... You're Beautiful

haha stalker whiteboy FTW!!!


no, but seriously, ur hawt!
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
haha, thanks boys, and yes I'm over 18, but everyone seems to think I'm 16 xD well I guess that'll work out nicely when I WANT to be younger.. meh.. xD

but still quite flattering :D
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
That's what I'm saying. She is most definitely a hot gamergirl. My favorite type, but regrettably not the only type. We need more like Kyttie. I'm not a stalker, I've been at work for like 14 hours, been up for almost 24 straight. It's 6am here in NJ, I got up yesterday at 6:30 am with the kids. I'm just starting to lose my sanity, so her pic is refreshing. Just in time, in fact. I need to wake up for the morning portable chest xrays. Same old people as yesterday, and half of them will be dead within 2 weeks. We just Xray so we can get as much cash as possible from insurance before they croak. Kind of sick, wouldn't you agree?
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
You do look very scrumptious on your profile pic, but in that same pic you do look really young.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Well, I'm glad you feel flattered. It's always nice to make a woman feel sexy or beautiful. Of course, if you were here right now, I'm quite confident you would be feeling alot sexier........
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
It's ok to look young. A 16 year old can look like an older woman, yet still be sexy and look young at the same time. Kyttie is like that, but over 18.
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
yeah I wish she was naked..... lol

5 am drunken DToid c-bloging FTmotherfuckingW!!!!!!!!!!!
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
AND she likes video games!!!!!!!!

*faints*
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Ok guys, let's be nice to her. She seems like a sweet girl, and looks very innocent. I don't want to make her feel degraded or like an object. She is more like an angel from the heavens. We should bow and kiss her feet. And her legs....And her tight tummy... and on... Beautiful
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
It's funny how no one actually commented about her blog. Welcome to the interwebz!!!!

@13thDragon

I was going to comment, but then i looked at whiteboy's and wiisucks' comments and realized it was too late, and that it's more entertaining reading what they say.
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
AND she loves Silent Hill!!!!!

*faints again*
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
You are seriously my dream girl, Kyttie.
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
ROFL... you brokededed my blog WiiSucks!! lol xD

and ya... the few people who are getting to know me on DToid know I'm far from innocent xD only the geeks get to see the really freaky shit thanks to the wonders of online pr0n xD
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Hey, I commented on her blog. It was insightful and entertaining. And Smart. At least she didn't make a fool of herself. Sorry I cant say the same for the rest of the DTOID Cblog.

In all seriousness, she's a beautiful girl, and she seems to have a good personality. Very cute and sexy at the same time. You can just tell from the pic, so full of life, so free. She probably drives the guys nuts where she lives. Good for her, she's beautiful.
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
and no, none of you are ever likely to see me naked xD
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
hehe you almost seem to be trying to hit on me Whiteboy xD
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Hey, I didn't say you WERE innocent. You just look like it. If you're a freak, stop by and visit if you're ever in Jersey. I'll plan a whole day for us, make sure the wife isn't around. We could play games, and then play with each other. OR...

If you really want to show me what a freak you are, we could play with each other while we play games, perhaps over XBOX Live. I'll show em what teabaggings all about. LOL, just joking, you know I love you. Besides, I'm the guy who says nice things about you and means them. Cause your Beautiful.
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
lol of course I have more pictures.. but letting you see them would be completely unfair to everyone else... well.. wait... how about this...

I'll put another pic up for a couple minutes (in my profile) I particularly don't like this picture of myself, cuz I kinda screwed up my face right as it was taken.. but who wants to see it? raise your hand
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
I sense an epic 100+ comment c-blog in the making.

"and no, none of you are ever likely to see me naked xD"

we know, Kyttie, sadly, we know
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Hand is fucking raised
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
hehe, well I'm just lookin for people to chat with xD and no one seems to be on IRC :P
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
*raises hand*
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
I hope she gets a 100 post blog. Then we'd really have something in common, as I have a few over 50 and one thats over 130.
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog

13thDragon's Destructoid Blog

Kyttie's Destructoid Blog

69G - Sexual Harassment
You sexually harassed an innocent woman!
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
OMG, I love you. Your face doesn't look funny hun, it's beautiful. I mean, how could it not? We're talking bout Kyttie here. Seriously, that is the sexiest pic ever. I am hitting on you, but I'm married. Still, I am so calling my divorce lawyer today. LOL just kidding, but I would definitely cheat on her with you. I wouldn't let her know about you, you're too special.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
She is right about the changed activity, but if you change video games to "book" or "theater play", the same thing hold true as well. You get immersed in those too.

Anything someone like this says about behavior based on a couple of brainscans is just pure speculation. You could react more aggressively when you are aroused, just like guys get into a drunken fistfight over a girl in a bar more easily than during a Buddhist meditation session. It just means nothing at all. There's no consensus between academics about brain activity and actual behavior when it comes to game violence. It's just that the media likes juicy stories and only covers 1 side of the debate :(
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
yeah, your face does look weird in that pic
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
ROFL @ 13thDragon

on *:TEXT:Innocent:*: {
:Repeat
Set %Innocent = Not Me
If (%Innocent = $me) {
goto Innocent
}
Else Halt
}

xD yay to mIRC Scripting
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Her face does not look weird! That's her "Come give me some love, baby" face. I bet she made it just for me. Certainly not for any of you animals. She made it just for me, cause I treat her good.

50G - The Scarlet Letter
You committed adultery!
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
let's see if anyone notices
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Damn Prof Pew, you didn't even mention how beautiful she is, you monster! What is wrong with you? Has your heart turned to steel?
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
Well, you treat her well. Bad grammar for the win!
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Wait, where did the new pic go? What happened? I love that pic. Seriously, you look sexy as hell in it. Damnit, I hope it's just my computer here at work.
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
yeah, Prof Pew ruined it, he actually tried to make a legitimate comment on her blog. What a loser!
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
that reminds me Dragon... I've never actually asked anyone what FTW actually stands for, I was kinda under a rock when the term came to be... lol.. does it stand for 'For The Win' like I pretend it does?
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Oh shit, I like that pic too. Very sexy
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
or is it 'Fuck The World' as it used to be ages ago?
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
Boooo smoking is NOT cool
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
I'm going for the win. I'm going to TEXAS
13thDragon's Destructoid Blog
it can be either For The Win or Fuck The World, depending on the context
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
hehe, Dragon ruined it for ya guys xD anyone who didn't see it already missed out, I don't show that picture often xD
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Smoking is sexy, especially when you pose like that. I'm a smoker too babe. Do you smoke the other stuff?

 about me



Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.

Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours

I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.

now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.

I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD
