Video game obsession is a serious illness in this country that many people recognize.

Video games and other electronics are doing bad things to kids' brains.
Where have I heard this before?
Jews living is a serious crime in this country that many people recognize.

Jews and other races are doing bad things to kids' brains.
Oh, that's right, Hitler.

God, if I had any hacking skills I would cripple her computer so that it flashed "GET A LIFE" incessantly. I would be more than willing to try a conversation with her, but I have a sneaking suspicion my brain would hemorrage from it. I think we should all find a way to send a message to the admin of Mom Blog and get Frumpy ***** Mom removed from the site. Her messages could be dangerous to the mental, emotional, and social well being of any children subjected to her lessons by unwitting parents. Anyone with me?

Dear Escapist, stop being stupid. There are many people who hate gaming, responding to one who gets paid for hits makes her more likely to post the topic again. Her attacks will only become more brazen as she attempts to put food on her table.

Or in simple terms, you noobs stop feeding the troll.

Hey look, Jack Thompson has a fangirl.

I'd also like to add that I'm a college student with a 3.4 GPA and I play video games at least once every two days for a good amount of hours. So...yeah.

I left a couple comments myself.

I made sure they were well thought-out, erudite, and correctly spelled, just to spit in her face.

Also I insulted her the whole time without a single actual rude word. Ain't ya proud of me?

I like how she complains about attacks from people she directly insulted, it's kinda like saying "I didn't expect the bear to attack me, I was just wearing steak".

Her aggression towards the video game industry is probably due a lack of understanding the importance of gaming in general. A lot of "mature" folk live in that same little tent, yet are quite frankly too damned lazy to do any research at this point in their lives.

I'm 35, and I love games. My wife also loves games. And we're going to let our one-year daughter begin playing the tank in the party, soon, and we hope she loves games as well. Family gaming: Cooperation, communication, learning, and just a good time in general, all within the safety of our home. Maybe this old biddy should try it.

I'm pretty sure that woman is a troll. She should go die a horrible death, either by chainsaw bayonets, shotguns or enchanted swords.

When the hell will this blasted torture end!?

It's bad enough that parents are the ones that brought on this whole R18+ rating debate in Australia because THEY let THEIR kids play those games.

Does this stupid woman not know anything about the fact that video games AREN'T harmful to kids for one simple reason. They enhance the brain/mind because you're constantly thinking and using strategy to solve a puzzle or get through an area in a RPG. Sheesh, even JRPG's show this with strategic battle systems.

..This world needs much less of the likes of Michael Atkinson, Jack Thompson and Ms. "Frumpy Mom". Are they jealous that they didn't have video games when THEY were kids? Did they do anything fun or even remotely entertaining at all? Great example, my step-dad. He's not interested in games and all, however my mother and I are. Not once has he been all bitter about our gaming interests at all, he just doesn't see the point himself. Last "game" he played was years ago and that was Pong.. xD It's okay though, I'd like to hope to lure him into something like puzzle games, etc.

Now, the other part of this article that infuriates me is this;

"I'm not too convinced by people who were such ardent gamers they became video game creators," she said. "That's like saying, "'Gee, I loved crack so much, I went to Colombia and started my own business and now I'm rich.'"
Firstly.. WHAT!? And secondly, you're a *****. You just can't compare crack and video games. People spend MONTHS AND YEARS developing and putting together creative and amazing concepts for the general public to either enjoy or end up ripping to shreds. They work their asses off and you still fail to acknowledge or credit that?

Face it, lady. Video games and the gaming industry are vastly improving, it IS the future. It'd be a damn boring one if it didn't exist. Need I even mention Desert Bus for Hope and Child's Play in general? Gamers are NICE PEOPLE. We WANT to help others.

This crap is never going to end. There's -always- going to be someone who stands up and voices some outburst against video games and what have you and we're always going to either ignore it or completely prove every single "fact" they come up with wrong.

EDIT: Actually, I couldn't have said anything better than JUMBO PALACE did. Nicely worded, good sir! It really disappoints me when these games skeptics constantly bash the entire industry, but they don't have solid facts or they don't know the actual truth. It's just clutching at straws, which is quite sad actually..
Thanks for the compliment. I wrote that after school before I stated my Calculus homework and went to work because I'm just THAT useless.

I'll say it again. She writes for the Orange County Register, a paper that caters to vapid idiot soccer moms and retains a fucking fast-food restaurant reviewer on staff.

This woman has no journalistic credibility other than her ability to write for a mindless suburban birdcage liner and tell her idiot readers what they want to hear (otherwise known as "write for your audience"). She's not worth the hair on my balls outside of those McMansions that haven't been foreclosed yet.

This woman is what is the heart of trash media and Escapist need not humor it like kid killed playing "ride" he wasn't killed playing ride playing the game, he was off the game and :murdered" by a family friend robbing him.

Frumpy mom has no reason to exist but to follow Marlyn mansions ideals in life. Say something stupid and offensive and you get air time.

Pasty palor of video gamers, wtf she talking about. I was on a submarine for 4 years and I never had "palor" like skin. Lady your talking out your own overly large and probley skin cancered rear.

Stop giving these people publicity, they are not news, funny nor intelligent that we care about they slopped together brief and moronic opinion. More so from yoda obessed idiot s from Cali. A state no even in the zip code of reality.

If people get agressive at some corn fed FAT woman, who spews hatred at the world, it's not the game fueling this hatred. When someone so fat they hate themselves spews at me about, God, oil, Gas, war, presidents, I roll my eyes and get aggressive to. If the kid is aggressive, he's bored, and if he's bored because you only give him a stuffed lama and FOOD to make him happy and fat so fat he hates himself and his life like your fake smiling picture of you...


Well there you go. Least a video game might have your kid without a slab of fried chicken in his teeth. Or fried tofu whatever you I have to be different life style supports. If you gonna be ugly at the world because you feel ugly get out and run that 15 chins off. God hates you and your fat is a punishment of god, not the devil for your "sloth and gluttony" God allows video games to be made and flurish therefore you are against the will of god. And must go and stuff your fat face till you have a heart attack. See? I'm pointing out your flaws. Since people with palor skin are just loser gamers, not students with night jobs, military who are in armored vehicles ect or just normal people who do not wish skin cancer I can turn that around on you as well.

Simple. You lack something in your life. Confidence to face the next day without reaching to hopeless and stupid crusades against things that don't matter, in the end, people still will have games, and untill you change you, you will still have four fried chickens and a coke every sitting, cry silently at night why your disliked, and when it comes to accepting the fault as yours...you can blame people who play video games. For your fattiness, you ugly personality and your moronic views on basic living, but will think god loves you and pray to him for his guidance....but in the end it's gods plan your to be fat and hated, until you get up and act.


Simple eh?

I think she blames her fatness on video games some how. Like someone who was meant to modivate her to change her ugly body and soul is inside somewhere...

You can be fat and a great person, but to be fat and ugly and hate the world....she is that.

Video game addiction is becoming more and more recognized as a social problem, mostly for young men under the age of 30 with low self-esteem. There are even addiction clinics all over the world for guys who need help.

Where in the world. *coughs China. And by addiction clinic, they mean boot camp.
How about this one, direct quote where she decribed herself as a "professional writer."
HA!

What Frumpy Dumpty doesn't realize is that the video game disease is highly contagious. The day she saw that kid leaving the library with the DS she was exposed, and now she's a non-symptomatic carrier. She's the Typhoid Mary of gaming, spreading the fever to game to all those around her!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..! You mean to tell me you go to SCHOOL!? And study advanced Mathematics!? By this logic alone, you are hereby banned from gaming and The Escapist community! You're not allowed to have a life if you're a gamer, sir!

...God, I want to HUG you now. xD I mean, we could go completely overboard and flame her all we want (because lord knows I WANT to), but it just won't solve anything.

Has Ms. Fisher even acknowledged that wholly religious people (Christians or any other religion) are also avid gamers? Does that not blow your freaking mind!? I mean, seriously, people who play video games are not bad people.

Some people need to get across to these overly protective, technology-fearing, control freak parents that games are NOT a bad thing.

It's the whole mentality of "guns don't kill people, people kill people". Funny thing is, America is the only country in the WORLD, where guns are perfectly legal and sold in KMart. Australia's KMart is not that stupid.

Saying the games don't enhance the mind or even remotely make you think is beyond pathetic. Did this woman even SEE what game the kid was playing on his DS? The Nintendo DS is extremely kid-friendly, it could very well have been Pokemon or Professor Layton.

Here's the bottom line, if you're a parent who's buying M to R rated games like Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Left4Dead, BioShock and what have you, then YOU'RE the one who needs the psychological help. Not the kid. Certain games are meant for certain age groups. They were in no way created by demons or whatever tripe this self-confessed control freak claims.

We could say the same thing about movies. Parents taking their kids to M15+ rated movies is just as bad, if not worse! In games, it's interactive, it's FUN and it's certainly a social experience, because it always leads to discussions within groups of friends. Simply banning certain games to your children is, in a sense, destroying their school life because their friends are far more advanced and experienced in those socially fun and enjoyable video games.

Hell, gaming doesn't necessarily mean gambling either. That really needs to be clarified.

Now, would someone who can easily string together a coherent comment with pure facts be a gamer? Not by using this woman's logic, because I'm definitely a gamer. I have an XBOX 360, a PlayStation Portable, I plan on purchasing a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII, plus I have a Steam account and have played MMO's like Aion, WoW and Final Fantasy XI and have forged long-lasting friendships from all of them.
