My buddy Vince on video game violence in his weblog, The Soapbox:
Video games are entertainment. Nothing more. And, as with anything, if hi-jacking someone’s IROC, running down pedestrians and taking sniper shots from a 3 story building for hours on end is going to cause you to fly over the edge, you should probably steer clear. Experts argue that such suggestive pursuasion is not possible. It’s like saying Van Halen’s “Jump” is going to prompt you to commit suicide.
That about sums it up there. Although, the image of David Lee Roth in tight clothing might just make me do it if I were on the verge.
