rocketman089 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah, I think some educational games about punctuation would be really cool. Maybe you can shoot the teacher every time you remember to put in a period or a comma. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I want a ban on computer games that make people type complete gibberish.

Striker6 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Your right violence is everyhwree then again promoting it through games might not be a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurama Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 No there shouldn't. No matter what happens, no matter what you do, there's always gonna be one ignorant dillweed who ruins it for everyone. All they have to say is "I got the idea from grand theft auto" and the world's suddenly in embers. Should they ban violent music with profanity and satanism in it? Nope. Should they ban boxing and pro wrestling because that's violent too? Nope. Is runescape violent because people cut each other up with swords? Yep. But whoop dee doo, banning them isn't gonna solve all the worlds problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Wait, I actually had planned a decent length post. But this has been discussed so many times, so poorly, that I just don't care anymore. They can't come steal my video games. If they do I'll steal their car. And go on drive-by shootings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i think that violence in video games making kids kill is complete, excuse my language, bulls**t. when the kids say "gta made me do it", they are actualy saying "im blamming this on a company who has NOTHING to do with this so i dont get introuble" [or something along those lines.] has anyone noticed that, since gta 3, kid violence has DROPPED 53%? and i like the idea of a violent educational game!

Barihawk Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Every child should be forced to play "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing". I used that when I was little, and I saw a new version out at Wal-Mart the other day. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

If they banned vilonce games then they will they will have to ban vilonet film. Coz most vedio games are based on some sort of film. It is like you are in the film being that person if you get me Yeah, I think some educational games about punctuation would be really cool.

Anesthesia Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 ...Resident Evil is a movie based on a game... The vast majority of violent games are not based on films, and the same can be said for games in general. Whether you meant violent games or otherwise, it is just not true.

I barely remember the game, it was the 1991 edition when I was 5. Tons of shareware educational games came with our old old computer. I think they should come with the new ones. I want to see more educational games with fun gameplay. Like that house of the dead game where you typed to kill zombies.

I spent hours upon hours playing that as a kid. :P And banning violent games isn't going to change human nature. Violent games don't make violent people, violent people make violent games.

weezcake Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Best educational game was Math Dodger. :wink: I've been playing violent games since I was in middle school. I've learned things from my video games; I go out and kill people without thinking. My life is just sooo violent. :roll: ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think they should just drop this. The best games have vilolence in them. There was a study a while back (can't find the website atm) but it said violence from young people decresed from 1990 instead of increasing because of the violent games. If you don't know that it's just a game then you shouldn't be playing it. I think the sale of MA games to minors should be enforced. I walked into Gamestop and bought GTA liberty city for the psp and they sold me it. I'm only 15 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
