I have to get my parents to read this. Then maybe they'll leave me alone.

Yeah it is good for those reasons. But when little kids get it in their head that it's cool to shoot people and steal cars and run em over it in....it aint good. But very interesting research.

Yeah same here. Me: come on mom let me go get a game so I can enhance my vision. Mom: How about you go out and play in traffic instead.

Raph, kids may get that idea, but it is entirely the parents who need to educate the kid about violence etc... If any kid (I don't know who would) was actually influenced to kill people and steal cars for rewards than they aren't cared for by their parents, and that is a sad thing. That is the only reason for all this god damn censorship, sheesh.

but video games are bad for some people..... i got possessed by a mario brother

"satan is that you?"

Kids shouldn't be able to buy the games anyways. I saw kids buying M rated games numerous times. Even games like State Of Emergency that say right on the cover to check for ID they don't. I think that's something that needs to change.

I know that but if a kid can go and buy a game without ID and then parents don't know about it and they might think of things. Just saying that kids get influenced on what they see. So they shouldn't be able to buy those games.

Video games don't really do that much to me. I could play them all day long, not even getting up to eat, and they don't phase the way I think. Playing video games is just something I do when I'm bored (which happens a lot.)

Interesting... Now I have an excuse....
