Personally, I'm about as amicable and peaceful a chap as you are likely to meet. Do I enjoy video games, including FPS games like Halo? Oh yes, Fucking A I do.

As for "violent movies"-- I do think it's ridiculous that a naked boob will garner a higher rating than a giant explosion, but that said... Different tastes and all.

It's worth noting that, statistically, en masse the world is less violent now than at any time in the past, so someone must be doing something right.

I don't feel a sobering feeling after shooting aliens on the xbox, and I'm not worried. Warren DeMontague Mar 2015 #7

Perhaps sobering was a bad choice of adjective discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #11

FWIW, there are a lot of women who enjoy video games, too. Warren DeMontague Mar 2015 #6

I am sure there is some evo-psych about it. TM99 Mar 2015 #8

Because they're fun, I suppose. lumberjack_jeff Mar 2015 #9
