Another victory for video gaming is what i call it!
Until Jack comes out to twist it into saying that fps gamers are more likely to spontaneously decide to kill someone than your garden variety maniac.
Let's hope that doesn't happen... Who's Jack?

I think his last name is Thompson. He's the ex-lawer dbag who always protests every new gta game by sending his young son out to buy it, proving that kids can get M rated games.

He is a jerk... or some sort of viral marketing tool. Can't be too sure. Either way, he's a dbag.

The only thing he's been successful in is giving games free advertising and getting his license to practice law revoked.

I saw this article in the Telegraph today. Don't judge me, my parents get it, not me.

"...studies show that people who play the video games, such as Doom..."

They clearly have no fucking clue about games.

Perhaps that's the newspaper's fault, not the study's. Although the study uses somewhat dated games, CoD 2 and Unreal, that may be due to technical issues.

Anyways, this is... good, especially during times like these. The validity may be slightly questionable, but certainly no more than existing anti-gaming ones.

No doubt in this for me. Although, when I play alot of cod then take a break. Then comeback a month later it takes me a bit to get back in the groove.

I meant the Telegraph. They're so old hat it's laughable.

Bahahahaha what a load of crap. I'm sure those 13 year olds of MW2 will be a great asset to us all.
