Oh, itıs you again
This same old tired topic comes back around every so often, spurred by these types of articles. There's a lot of verbage being committed to it on such sites as Ctrl-Alt-Del and Penny Arcade, the ever-wordy Tycho is in rare form. I'm not the gamer that I used to be and I've never been overly immersed in the culture, but I have spent a good amount of time and effort on games; which is why I have to sigh deeply every time the "violence and video games" issue rears it's sad, mushy face.
I really, really want to go on a long diatribe about this, but I'm not going to. It's been well covered and I feel that others better qualified have already done the job. Since I completely concur with what's said in this article, I'll let it speak for me. I assume this Thompson fellow is the key shit stirrer and while Iım sure he simply wants to save the children I can't help but wonder how much money he makes off this issue. It's the only reason I can see why someone would so fanatically go after such a ridiculous argument.
