Here we go again...

Just when you thought it was safe to play videogames, along comes another nut proclaiming them to be little more than murder simulators.

It's actually an interesting read because they're letting a few gamers who happen to be prominent web cartoonists respond and rebut the claims of this nut job. The link to a point by point breakdown of the crazy man's ramblings is pretty interesting too.

I personally loved this little exchange which shows how truly screwed up this guy's logic is (and that he's just trying to twist any question to his little script of wonky answers).

Q:Does age or sex play a factor in violent, aggressive behavior?

A:Sure, the sex and violence centers of the brain overlay one another, which is why the increasing mix of sex and violence is troubling.


Sigh.
