Just for the Beck of it: CNN calls games bloggers 'losers'

"Our Lord"......not mine. I still don't understand why these people complain about this game harming "our kids", when it is in fact rated M and not for 'kids'. When I bought GTA IV I was carded. Glen Beck is a 'holier than thou' self righteous blow hole.

So what we have leprosy now too?
Maybe he has a point. I only watched someone play GTA4 last week for about half an hour and imagine my surprise to wake up this morning and realise my arm had fallen off.
*end of sarcasm*

I think we've seen just about every agrument anti-videogames "crusaders" can throw at us haven't we?
Most of them can be proved wrong by one simple fact. I haven't killed anyone. I don't think I know anyone that's killed anyone but if I do it wouldn't be because of videogames. It would be because of alcohol.

GTA..violence is optional..no nudity (so far).

Compared to say..

God of War, where the violence is insane and there is actual nudity.

This is why I don't watch television news anymore.

My god that guy is such a douche bag!

I'm glad I live in Australia now, while we do get edited down video game violence, at least we don't get douche bag idiots talking about violence in video games and about video games in general when they have absolutely no idea what the fuck they are talking about.

So what you are telling is..

compared to the common controler of a game console.

the device known as the "child proof cap" created by the goverment to protect childern by being so complicated a child of certain age can not open it, yet is made for an adult to figure out with ease in goverment testing for a set amount of time.

So the adult in the same test when givin a device known as "common game controler" gives up before picking up the object letting the child win by default in it's operation?


So if an adult wanted to open a child proof cap bottle and wanted to see the contents of said bottle would be something the adult does not want the child to come in contact with.....

They would not try to operate the child proof cap and void all knowlage of it's contents and give it to the child and allow said child time to learn how to open the child proof cap and gain acesss and contect to it's contents since the adult did not know how to opreate the cap?

My question is, if video game bloggers are losers, what does that make us video game *readers?!* Or for that matter people who take the time to comment that video game bloggers are losers...

Cube.

Gamasutra posted a study recently involving families with younger children, and the parents often commented on the complexity of the controls; I'm specifically referring to sections 3 and 4 of that article. As for your "child proof cap", I'm afraid that I'm having trouble seeing exactly what you're trying to get at.

Out of touch old guy who doesn't want to face the larger issues the US has which are actually responsible for all the bad things that have happened, instead he decides to jump on the bandwagon and point fingers at GTA.
I find it really weird that everyone keeps citing 'Picking up hookers and killing them with the baseball bat' as one of the deplorable acts in the game, every time someone mentions that I automatically think - "you haven't played the game".
The importance of video games and the continuing increase in the cultural importance of them is the biggest fear of these older generation people, they can barely keep up with the internet, throw video games into the mix and their heads will just explode.

That an adult can open a complicated for a child "child proof cap" but I guess they can't work the game controlers while there kids can.

How many of these kids are opening child proof caps!? oh my god they are super human! it's all that UV rays from the ozone layer going awyway.

Just think if they get into other things like train sets! what will the parents do they will not be able to work it and the kids will start a mini economy world wide micro shipping of ants to ant farms around the world and make millions to fund there robotic bodies!

That look on his face when she contradicts him is made of so much win.

Also, I think Cube is pointing out the irony that parents can open a "child-proof" cap, but somehow wouldn't be able to operate a game controller. Thus saying that it is ridiculous that a cap that their kids cannot open is not too complex, but the parents learning to play games their children play to judge the content for themselves is too complex.

I THINK that was his point.

He reminds me of ghey!

and I must say in that article with not putting a whole lot of time in at (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3639/what_gamers_want_family_gamers.php?page=3)


At no point when then came out and I was in like pre- school or kindergrarten did I ever get the "A- button" confused with the word A and said A" sound rather than "AH" and neither did any other kids I was with so... If it was not a problem then why is the wii "A button" a threat to all children reading english text?


as this womoan states in the article.....


"An interesting example was the use of spelling in tutorials. One parent remarked, "I spend all day enunciating letters phonically to help my little girl at school, and then all my hard work is undone by the game joining up all the letters again." These kids are being taught to pronounce letters the way they sound in words rather than (as used to be the case) as abstract concepts. For example, they are taught to pronounce "a" as an "ah" rather than as an "A" sound."



What?! You know how muched I looked at the A buttons of controlers my whole life and I always knew it was the A button. Not anything else.

What are these new parents smoking? I was never taught any of this and I could tell what the correct terms are the entire time.

Apperently the super human children don't have logic chips in the robot bodies!

Each and every one of you. Losers.

that lady was the smartest person ive seen talk about gta on tv....oh and he diddnt say tv was a cause of "evil"..like he did in his last crazy ass rant

Cube's posts are messing with my mind!

There are so many grammatical errors, I think my mind has been broke. I think I witnessed a couple spelling errors too...

Oh GOD! Did I write properly? I'm so confused.

I wish I was joking... I'd getting dizzy...

Well...that was kinda embarassing to watch. Poor guy, making an ass out of himself while talking about a subject he clearly knew nothing about.

How come this clown is on television? Shouldn't he be handing out soft drinks on the local 7-11?

Oh who cares? This is just some small little man stuck in a corner, diverting attention away from his incompetence and towards us evil gamers. He can't even remember his own introduction. I mean, I'VE never heard of this schmuck, so I know I'm certainly not blogging about him. I bet he wishes people did, just so he could be relevant.

Tell me when an educated person is talking shit, then I'll give a damn.

I like to think he's read all of the internet hate posted everywhere about him and cries himself to sleep at night, alone in his cold bed.

Well Jim, I've never head of this guy until you mentioned him on Dtoid. So I'm going to assume that he is also a loser.

Also, he looks like a douchebag

When is there nudity? If I remember correctly all nipples are covered up. Christ if I wanted to see nudity I would rather search the Internet any way or have fun with my fiance, why would I play GTA IV?

Oh yeah and i don't beat hookers with a baseball bat, I use a knife or a pistol.

Beck got pwnd. He must be rated M for moron. Or R for retarded. Or E for everybodygetsitbutyou.

I've given up trying to get any worthwhile information from television long ago.

As far as I'm concerned, they are all just talking heads.

Since you made a point that makes me look stupid, I'm going to talk about myself and then attempt to insult bloggers. lol

Boy, this lady is awesome, though. Seriously, I'm glad she's out there to make good points like this.
