Hey yall. As yall know, I spend most of my time on the internet, but sometimes I like to escape 2 a different reality by playing some video games. Decided to ’smoke a bowl of marijuana cigarettes’ and unwind by playing this new chill game. Had to go on a ‘mission.’
Damn. This game seems ‘mad violent.’ Like stuff that they use to train terrorists/miscellaneous evil people in the world who do things like ’shoot up high schools/colleges/work places.’ I wonder if it is good to have progressive games like this. Do u think they offer ‘truly sick people’ a reality where they can enact their rage, or is it more of an incubator for terrible I.R.L. things 2 happen? Sometimes I feel happy that some of the most ‘fucking pathetic’ people in society are lost in a world of video games, pornography, and Doritos/Hot Pockets. It makes me happy that they live indoors, and don’t even know what it feels like when the sun hits their skin. Feel like they get most of their perspectives on the world from movies like ‘The Matrix’ and other ideologically-charged action scifi movies.
Do u think it would be sweet to play a video game with these scenarios?
- driving a UHAUL with a bomb up to a federal building and ‘blowing that shit up’
- going on a serial killer type of spree where u rape/murder/bury bodies beneath ur house
- flying planes into buildings
- backpack bombing public areas
- shooting up a school and having 2 kill over 50% of the students
- trying to ignite a bomb on a commercial airliner
I wonder if video games are ‘better than ever.’ Maybe this is the type of stuff that all humans want 2 do, but now we finally have a realm where it is safe 2 do it.
Maybe all humans want the same things. Maybe we just want 2 cum at all costs.
Just want a room full of vaginas to make love to.
Need a way to take out my tween angst.
So many different video games. Wonder which 1 I would be if I ‘loved video games.’ Feel like I might either be a tween who plays a Nintendo DS, and has digital friends/pets/possessions in a simulated world, or maybe just an old person who plays Wii to battle Alzheimer’s/depression/arthritis/diabetes.
Wish more video games brought humans 2gether, instead of promoting the killage of humans.
Want to connect with my local retirement community scene, coming together, celebrating our last years on Earth.
Feeling confused. At the beginning of this post, I thought video games were terrible for humanity, but then by the end of my internet research, I determined that there are positive uses for video game simulated technology. I feel like we need to promote human connections, but it would also be acceptable to round up the major threats to society, and allow them to get most of their life experiences in a simulated version of a violent reality.
It seems like if we programmed some sort of violent video game that took 40-100 years to beat, we could really save a lot of communities/international relations. Just want 2 live forever, and eliminate violence.
Not sure abt video games.
Do yall know of any video games that are safe/violent?
Are video games a ‘waste of time’?
Do u know if we could build some sort of system where we plug human brains into a hyper-reality, but actually use their body heat to create the energy that powers the computers that run our society?
Are video games ‘the master art’ since they combine all elements of modern art?

You mean you, and approx 75% of your readers carles?
Video games are the most authentic artistic medium out there, combining music, visual art, interactive experiences etc.
While MW2 is decidedly not an alt game by any means(pinnacle of Bro tier vidya) you shouldnt equate video games with violence. Only people who are super fucked up, who would have become serisal killers anyway are affected by the violence.
P>S> i Dont see you making posts about all the violence on TV and shit, did u know a tween sees approx over nine thousand murders every day while watching tv.
just something to think about
also: post moar tween/JB ass. The grannies are killing my chub.

Hmmm well videogames are just another reality for other people. People have their music, people have their porn, people have their books, and people have their videogames. And if the videogames are too violent and degrading to the female society then people can decide to not play them. Simple. There has to be enough variety though in videogames so all people from all walks of life cab enjoy them; ladykillers, pimps, bounty hunters, and more.
So just keep pounding that virtual pussy videogames bro and enjoy yourself before some crying mother worried about innapporiate videogames comes along and takes it from you. And you grand theft auto master keep stealing cars and beatin bitches for not paying you til the sun comes up!

Calm down people.
Violence in video games exists since it’s birth!
Just think about carmageddon or the GTA series for
example. Or the blood series. Or Manhunt, or conker bad fur day for fuck’s sake! All these games are fucking crazy violent and nobody stood up saying they should be banned. Well, ok, yes it happened… But can we prevent it from happening? I don’t think so. It’s in our nature, that’s all. Maybe they pushed it a little too far this time… I can’t wait to see what they’ll come up with next. It’ll be epic. How can you out run this? Virtual rape? Who knows. lots-of-laughs.

did anyone else feel slightly upset when ‘enemies’ appeared and started firing back at the shooting crew? kinda wish there was a game this ‘realistic’ that doesn’t involve objectives + enemies other than just killing and destroying the entire world without consequence. best way to ‘channel our aggression instinct’.

kinda missed the good old days, b4 ‘gang violence’ and the ‘terrorists’. only had 2 worry bout games w/ ‘black magic’ and ‘occult references.’

This stage was kinda overrated. I shot some chick in the side of her head and she did a quick faceplant, then her leg clipped through the ground and disappeared. Another dude I shot in the back while he was running away and he did a pseudo backflip. So much for realism!

They should have made it more realistic by using the real audio screams of russian hostages and put pictures of those who died on the running figures.

Jeez carles, making a “relevant” post is like finding an “interesting” comment. 1 in 10. Why are we here? As in why are we reading this article? We all know video games are overly violent. Thats why we play them. It’s “kewl”. Is it REALLY relavant?
Did all the “relavancy” of hipsters secure their spot as “retro” when 2020 comes around? Will kids in the 2020s be dressing as kids in the 2000s dressing as kids in the 1980s??
I lurk, I troll. But I stay and read on, hoping to possibly ride some “trend of my generation” by the coat tails. Sadly, I’ve become disillusioned lately. Shits OVER bro. We all partied like shit and drank our asses off for ten years. But soons the day after and we got to cut our hair, re-dye it, shave the fucked up beard (or shitty 7 day beard wannabe thingy) get a job and start the grind of paying off our crazy student loans. (Think 80s minus the cocaine…. ok not minus the cocaine, minus the college degree)
Here comes the whole “I’m tired of all these bright colors” decade. In which we all start wearing drab earthy colors and pissing on anything from the last ten years. (Think 90s minus the guitars… ok not minus the guitars, minus the lasting icons)
Can’t see ANYONE gaining more than their “god given right” of 15 minutes of fame in the next 10 years.
Can’t wait for 2020…. us like minded people will have something to write/read about again….
