I get so fed up with all the media's bitching on video games...

Alright, this is a Swedish link, but I'll just translate it, I guess:

"The 12-year-old boy forced an "unarmed opponent into a corner and closely pointed his pistol against his head".
'You won't get away!' he said with a cold smile as he massacred the figure on the screen.
'Now you're mine!'
The boy pressed the button and shot his opponent in the head.
The blood splashed onto the opponents' laboraty coat as he rotated around and fell to the ground.
'Got you!' he said, laughing." ("The Best", march 1999, page 16)

...and so on.
Yeah right, it's not like every gamer on the planet is a 12-year-old problem child who plays way too violent games for his own age.
Why the hell does the media always try to mark video games as something terrible?
Yes, there are violent games, just as there are violent movies, violent art, violent books and violent music.
And of course the media points out the worst possible scenarios concerning video games.
They even claim the reason people become violent is "because they've played violent video games".

I also think Hitler spent three hours a day in front of Dead Or Alive.
Yes, that's the only explanation. :rolleyes2
