    Re: Campfire --- You are the Serial Killer(s) - this one makes GTA loo

    Interseting topic going here! Now for my worthless two cents.

    You are entitled to your oppionion and am in no way attacking you here. Just wanted to point out I feel in a mature non bashing way.

    I personally see games like a book. My wife asks me why I don't read much and I tell her one I get bored really easily and two I feel videogames are books. You can pretend to be your favorite sports hero, race car driver, cowboy, horror movie participant, or anything you cna imagine. I use games to get away and not use my over used head. I think all day at work and at the gym and on the way home from the gym. When I get home I want to shut my brain down for an hour or so and so I plug in the PS2 and throw in a game. Not that I don't think while playing a video game.

    To say no thinking occurs while playing a video game then you really have not been playing much. try playing NCAA football and reading the defense without getting sacked. Try popping in ESPN Hoops and find the open man without getting the ball swatted back in your face. I honetly feel that video games give you better quick thinking ability. No there is no proof or study to prove this that I know of but from playing video games since the Atari 2600 came out (best christmas gift ever) this is how I feel.

    I do agree that gameing can get stale at times with basic repeats of old games just updated but I think it is comendable for company's like Rockstar who push the limit's to find new ways for others to enjoy themselves. Since I am a right minded non-psycho I can play a GTA game and kill 180 people for fun and then not try to emulate it in the real world. Should society be dumbed down for those that can't function? No. I agree ther should be tighter restrictions on game ratings being sold and also parents should finally take responisbility for actions of thier children. thsoe are two ways to "take violence out of childrens lives".

    That's what is good about the video game industry there is a game for everyone in every genre. Don't tell me what to play or what to like it is MY choice as well as yours.

    (sorry for spelling errors I wrote this quickly whiile on break)

I watch the news and see how our society stinks and teaches us or our kids not much at all, ex. I turn on the new There a guy shooting a Lawyer in broead daylight and just walks away, what made him do that let me guess GTA3, I dont think so the shooter was like 65 years old, he dont even know what an XBOX is, look kids turn on the TV and see more Bull$hit then any game can teach them to do bad. You turn on the tv and all you see is how bad our society is. Now I will defend any game at any time I dont care if its bad or not, cause the way I feel is that this game makers are getting some of the Idea's because of our society. Think about it. When little timmy does somthing wrong it ain't cause of the games he's playing its beacsue of what he see's on TV and what he see's out his window. Bottomline is parents need to step up to the plste and make sure there kids arent playing bad games or watching crazy $hit on TV, when parents let there kids do anything they want thats when bad things happen, and there are alot of parents out there that let there kids get away with alot. So in my eyes parents need keep a close eye on what there kids think is real and not real, and watch them better then before in our great world.

            I actually find your remark quite amusing considering the quote of mine you picked and then your response. What did I say? I DONT BELIEVE GTA CAUSES SHOOTINGS, i.e. when an incident like a child shooting happens, I think its the parents' fault, not the games. Gosh, I wasnt talking about censorship, I was talking about how games like GTA get too much attention for being such a "waste of time" product, when other more insightful ones get pushed to the back of shelves and/or not get enough funding from publishers.

                  Well since Grand Theft Auto is the top selling game in the history of video games one would think it might just garner some attetnion.

                  And it is that very point as to why you should simply post on some other thread. To some they are not a "waste of time" and when you resort to using such clever little quotes to insult the group then you sir are simply trolling. Just as you did when you made the first two post with graemlins only.

                  Locked since Sonic continues to make this thread about himself then the game Campfire. I am going to start another thread on Campfire. I would recommend that you stay out of it as we already know your views and what graemlins are attributed to the game in your opinion.
