The only difference? Violent content.

Comparing Need For Speed and Medal of Honor? Yeah, if it weren't for the violence in MoH, those two games would be exactly the same.

It's horrible kowing people are wasting their time with this crap when they could be doing something productive.

Like.....?


They've dedicated themselves to sucking the cocks of the politicians that love to say this kind of shit. It appeals to mass-media fucktards who don't know jack shit about video games cos they're too busy sucking their bosses dicks so they can retire before 60.

My English Teacher plays Guitar hero. We had an assignment about Chaucers Canterbury Tales, where we had to make our own version of the tales. I did mine on a bunch of musicians who decided who would be best. I might post it just for shits and giggles later, but some of the humor is there because it's Chaucer's style (C.T. has a lot of fart jokes, actually).

The end has my teacher being proclaimed the one and only Guitar Hero.

Do video games incite violence? The answer is obviously:

YES

I think there are a lot of idiots out there who do try to emulate video games.

But we here at Crestfallen rise above and do not use our Step 4 Blade Arts on other people.

I think The Way has made me a more violent person. That or War (the person), he has that effect on people.

tut... Nothing but statistics. Didn't it occur to them that violent people would prefer violent games as well as violent movies and such. It proves nothing.
From what my barber told me, I now knew that nothing was real.

In this day and age, an era where there are people who actually throw shit at each other, anything, could be possible.
