A little less :banghead: A little more :violent018: Lets not try and blame video games for human stupidity, if one isn't aware of the distinction between fantasy and reality then books, movies, TV, games, and especially historical re-enactments and real-life roleplays should all be banned and we should live lives totally devoid of entertainment. Lets not forget banning rock 'n' roll (devils music) and heaven forbid rap music. In fact, singing, dancing and laughing should all be banned too. You do realise when playing a 'sandbox' GTA game that you DON'T have to run people over, its an open world where you do what you like. There are consequences in-game by the way. The cops DO come after you and arrest you. "Proof at last. Video games do cause schizophreics to act violently…. " WRONG Schizonphrenics choose to act violently in video games. And redneck mommy, when I read your reply it sounded like 'WAH WAH WAH' from a suburban alchoholic. Yeah, but what were the miracle settings you arrived upon to get the stupid game to work?

“Proof at last. Video games do cause schizophreics to act violently…. ”
WRONG
Schizonphrenics choose to act violently in video games.

And redneck mommy, when I read your reply it sounded like ‘WAH WAH WAH’ from a suburban alchoholic.

Especially given the fact how much I loathe authority in real life. I’ve never played that game, even though I’ve always thought it would be fun.

The driver leading the chase was fresh off a 12-hour marathon session of Grand Theft Auto. It was an awful tragedy and I'm reminded of the blinding pain every time someone pisses me off ut I'm unable to flip them the bird. (Okay, that's totally not true. But it could be.)

The trick is to have a row of Mountain Dews at hand to use for gaming fuel and to relieve yourself into the empties. And when I was your age I could easily go 14 hours without a rest break.
