Video Games Are Bad For Kids..WTF? Who Cares

Posted by IndieGamingPodcast - July 27th, 2008


Seriously I was playing this torture game on newgrounds today and it said in the review box that fox news made a short story on this, so i go and type it in on google and behold there it is, 5 minutes of complete bitching on how video games affect kids, Over 50 years and over 1000 studies on how video games affect kids? wtf? thats what they said on fox news said come on lol 50 years ago you never even heard of blood in a video game: oh yea your kid is gonna go and shoot up a street cause they played astroids and pac-man.

Also just cause your kid goes and shoves a hammer in someones head or steals a car, dont blame the game, thats just you trying to get out of it and make the world feel sorry for you, just face fact you brought up your child badly ok, your a mom alone who decided to get pregnant at 14 and you wanna look to the government so the feel sorry for you F*** off, seriously burn yourself just stop slagging off video games. It's cause of prats like those that here in England we dont get Manhunt 2 and if we do it's the calmed downed version. If you dont want your kids playing violent games dont buy them.

Check it out on you tube it's the second hit on google if you type in the name, ill put a newgrounds link to the game and a you tube one to the news story. By the way this is definetly not directed to any of the fans at newgrounds you guys rock.

I do have to point out that the torture game has a rating on it. A fucking rating that should let people and parents know what they are getting themselves into. Now in the bigger picture of consumer bought games such as Manhunt 2 or GTA4, older kids can go out and buy their own games, but the younger ones, the impressionable ones, have to get their parents to buy it. If they are playing things that their parents don't like, its their own fault for ignoring the rating at the bottom of the mother fucking box.

Parents like to bitch out the media because they just don't make the time to spend time with their children, leaving them instead to the machinations of video games and TV that may have been intended for a older and more mature audience. So of course when the media dosn't raise em right they get pissed off. Its very intresting to see how quickly parents and teachers quickly turn to smash mature minded entertainment when its little children watching. They are taking zero responsibility because it is so much easier to shove it towards someone who is simply making a product, whether to entertain or simply make some quick cash.

I think I'm done for now.

Yup sad world we live in lol you wait GTA will be banned one day by these prats, I remember them having it out with rockstar cause of the hot coffee mod, but if you dont want your kids to be expsed to this well then...Dont have kids plain and simple.

yea seriously it's the parents fault not the games

If only the parents would take the blaim

Parents won't take the blame. Its so much easier to blame it all on something or someone else rather than taking personal responsibility for anything that happens. Everyone does it, no one likes to admit that they messed up so completely that someone elses life is ruined or ended.

Sad but true

violent games rocks!!!

I certainly agree with that
