Never too young for GTA

Kotaku – Starting them young

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I think the age of four is the perfect time for Lil Derrick to be learning about drive-bys, pimps, hookers, corrupt cops, drugs and the titular grand theft autos.

And it’s too bad if he’s British that he’ll not be able to appreciate the Manhunt 2 cake he’ll no doubt get for his fifth.

Appalling violent computer game advert shocks cinema goer

A recent comment I spotted in the comments book of the Little Theatre cinema.

It’s obscene to advertise such an appalling/violent computer game – I am surprised that the Little Theatre supports the encouragement of killing other humans.

The advertisement in question was for the game Medal of Honor: Airborne, a World War II first-person shooter. I personally believe that there is no substantive difference between advertising a game like this and screening a movie like Saving Private Ryan.

In any case the cinema has little control over which adverts actually get screened and obviously does not advocate or endorse the killing of people, however unlike some of our customers we are aware that there is a difference between the killing of humans in real life and on the silver screen or a computer monitor.

Build a robot

This puzzle game takes me back to my years at university studying electronics.

Although there was more drinking of beer and less building of killer robots as far as I can recall.

This is Mushroom Kingdom

This has to be just about the best parody of the movie 300 that I’ve seen so far.

Kotaku disects Jack’s lies

In the wake of the massacre at Virginia Tech many so called experts such as Dr. Phil stepped forward linking the killings with the playing of violent video games before the authorities had even released any details about the perpetrator of this atrocity.

As you might expect Jack Thompson was amongst these yet again exploiting tragedy to push his agenda. The gaming site Kotaku have an excellent article analysing Thompson’s televised statement and dissecting the lies contained within it.

Ars Technica have a similar article about the media’s knee jerk reaction of linking the shootings to video games before the facts are in.

In fact according to GayGamer.net not only did the police not find any games amongst Cho Seun Hui’s belongings but his roommate says that he’d never ever seen Cho play a video game.

Dudes already know about chickens.

Who knew that chickens could be such a controversial topic?

Ryan North that’s who. But he believes in fictional Jimmy Wales so his judgement is suspect especially given he’s the source of the latest bout of controversial chicken chicanery.

And still no mention in Wikipedia’s Chicken topic of the little-known phenomena of a chick armed with a revolver, shotgun or a bazooka.
