So, apparently, there's some video game that's part of a popular series out today that has all the Conservative types up in arms. I don't play video games because, well...I got my pubes over twenty years ago. But there are people who are saying it shouldn't be released.
So where do you stand? I don't believe this game victimizes children, but it probably objectifies and denigrates women somehow, from what I've read (I don't know for certain - I haven't seen the game nor will I ever play it. I haven't played a video game since the days of Intellivision). I like reading books.
Do video games encourage violence the way Rap and Metal albums do (haha)? Should we be actively trying to save the minds of people who will grow stupider from playing these games? Do the Conservative types have a point (for once)? Or is this all just harmless fantasy for people who don't lead interesting lives? Can't we just let the poor geeks be poor geeks?
I think the whole thing is friggin' hysterical.
