A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
These shows are great, it shows that no matter how bad ur upbringing was (thou daily beating with barbed wire cane never hurt my development) there is always some more incompetent that you.
Or I suppose you could enable their behavior and find something else to blame, eventually earning some media reinforcement for your ineptitude as a parent. That would also work.
And anyway what does ronald mcdonald know about current affairs?
Players log onto "the web" and link up with players all over the world
There's no "end" to these "so called" "new generation games"
Ahhh... the sweet smell of ignorance.
Geez! Give them a damn chance to save the game they've spent ten hours playing, or they'll just have to do it again. Dumbasses.
And don't even get me started on "being able to get help, maybe in Holland or America"
Christ on a bike.
ok i think trevor gets some credit, though, and i'm 100% sure the interviewer's head-shake was added in much later on. if she was like me she'd have been giggling through the whole thing!
i swear when i'm a parent if my kids get naughty i'm gonna randomly delete their saves. that'll teach the little gits.
You’ll never guess how many handjobs I had to give to buy driver 3.
I felt dirty.
That fact alone tells alot about their competence.
If she would've taken that controller away instead of playing with it and annoying your kid that way, it wouldn't have happened. Send the little shit to the corner or punish him. Cutting the controller's wire would've worked too. Also, who the fuck buys all those things? Not the kids.
Fucking stupid women.
Irrational, sensationalist nonsense.
And she probably still would now, and I'm 31.
The problem is nowadays, that parents are too damn scared to strike some kind of fear into their child, so they grow up to be lippy twats with no respect for their parents, let alone anyone else.
All you can hope is when they get a little older and act like that in the "real world" they'll realise the world doesnt orbit around them and get kicked in the face by an angry bald man. I've done it once, and I'll do it again.
Will i go to hell for laughing out loud at the american woman who found her son had shot himself?
Of course no one at the mail thought to ask a) why his mother was giving a 14-15 yr old an 18 certificate game, b) why there was a loaded gun lying around or c) why he was such a fuckwit he’d think it ok to shoot his mate with a 12 bore shotgun.
Simplest answer is that the game perverted him, that way you look like a victim and not an arsehole and it sets you up nicely to sue the game makers.
We’re going to hell in a handcart, you couldn’t make it up.
First off i'l say that i do feel sorry for that american woman who lost her son. My guess is that he had some sort of problem and he used computer games to escape them, rather than them been the cause.
The way the interviewer procliams "When playing computer games, endorphins are released just like with a gambling addict or someone on drugs." The truth is that endorphins are released when we smile, laugh, exercise or see a small child fall over, not just when on drugs or computer games.
Lets get this straight, YOU CAN NOT BECOME 'ADDICTED' TO COMPUTER GAMES. People who use heroin are addicts. There's no fucking cold turkey from stopping playing computer games. As the ELSPA guy said "People should take responsibility for thier families and for themselves"
You can become addicted to videogames. You can become psychologically dependent on just about anything if you do it often enough.
Whenever there's anti-videogame talk, there's always a tendency for the pro-game response to go a bit far. Gamers tend to say that games have no effect when they obviously do; they're just a tiny part of the whole rather than a sure-fire means to bringing up a spoilt brat/murderer/whatever.
Maybe afterwards I'll steal one of their cars and go on a "human slalom", but one where I keep "accidentally" hitting the "flags" because I "like it".
I'm so addicted to videogames that I will literally rape a woman to death so that I have to wipe my bloody cock on the nearest Ocarina Of Time cartridge.
Those people think their children have problems? You should see my engorged penis, it resembles Al Gore's nose in more ways than two.
Sorry, I'm getting carried away.
Yes, people are fucking idiots, parents are getting lazier.
The kids don't have problems at all, they love what they're doing, it's the parent's whom don't like it.
I hate you mum, I hate you so fucking much.
Since I couldn't hold it in, and couldn't pause the cut scene, I pissed in a vase.
My secret shame. Why can't I comment anonymously?
That's less a videogaming addiction, more indicative that developers should let you be able to pause cutscenes. There's nothing worse than when you're watching the final cutscene on a game, something you have just spent the last 40+ hours anticipating when someone walks in and starts talking to you. You can pause a DVD but not some compressed video file? Surely it isn't hard to assign a 'pause' button to cutscenes? Especially if they use the in game graphics.
In no particular order:
* "A new poll, conducted exlusively fo this program, has shown that 64% of children play 4 hrs of video games every day". So, that means the researchers for the show, given their brief to prove a point, asked a small number of people who they knew would give asnwers in accordance with their mandate..Sratch that....They made that statistic up.
*These 'addicts' spend up to FIVE HOURS a day playing these games. Ironic that this is a TV program. Go and research how often the average family spends gawping at the TV.
* America is, according to this 'documentary', "The biggest games market in the WORLD"....Have they heard of Japan?
I could go on, but I'm way too addicted to my crack pipe to talk about addictions. Meh.
But yea, wow. Yea, the kid has lost his job and has been antisocial (probably depressed) for his life, well, he must have killed himself over the GAME. Right.
