    Default Doom 3, GTA 3, FOX NEWS, and violence

    Ok, we all know about the violent video games reports on news channels....but I just saw yet another one on stupid ass Fox News, saying these games could have psychological impact on your "children"....HELLO?! the average gamer is now well into there adult years! They showed clips from Doom 3 and other decent games on the show, while you can hear background comments like "awful" and "ohhh" and "Do you know what your kids are playing?! step in there room and look at this horrendic things they're watching"....just a bunch of B.S. which makes me SO sick. I hate the guy that did it and all his smirks. I seriously would not care if he died, went to Hell, and hopefully take all his smirks with him...stupid ignorant, non-knowing, doesn't-know-what-he's-talking-about son of a *****.
    When you're alarm goes off in the morning, do a backflip straight out of bed without even sitting up, do some pushups while dodging bullets in slow motion, then do a cartwheel into your car while spinning a CD on the tip of your finger ... now you're a unique individual.

    Jeeze, that's pretty stupid.

    All the news reports I've been hearing around here lately have had Doom 3 featured in them, even when they don't normally report on games. None of them had anything bad to say, though.

    Yep that sounds like it came from some politician who hasn't played a game for more than 5 minutes.

    poor Doom..so many games that have people killing other people...put in a few make believe demons and everyones on you... Doom will always be a target even if something else bad is out....Doom 1 basically started the "Deathmatch" and the FPS genre.

    Well atleast all of that violence pinned on video games is helping sell Manhunt in the UK.

    its just video games fella... no need to wish death upon someone because of a piece of entertainment we pay 50$ for. stop stressing your self out over video games. calm down. relax the **** out.

    LikShots, nice pic

    figured you'd have to disagree. if you don't like games enough for this pathetic news to make you a little mad, why are you even on here.

    Here's my opinion with the UK thing.... Video games doesn't make psychos, it makes them more creative (kinda like that one guy said about movies from Scream) lol! Later shuckersh

    I don't think Fox News is the only news station that claims that violent video games can impact psychologically to children.

    Hell, they could say the same things about movies and the same thing about regular television shows today. But, the fact of the matter is, there is no evidence that video games pursuades children to be violent...that's ludicrous to make the claim without any scientific evidence.

    Sure, we'll see isolated incidents, but, I seriously get tired when people point the finger at something and forget to examine parents instead.

    I'm not a racist, lik-whatever, I was just saying figures you'd have to disagree....always causin' trouble.


    cough, cough..uh, yeah...




    Maximus, you're right, I know. To tell you the truth, the main thing that upset me about the whole thing was that they had to harp on doom 3 so much like it was bad...hell, I'm looking forward to that as much as halo 2 next, they'll be pulling doom 3 off the shelves before it even hits them. Next, they might as well take out the first and second amendments.

    I feel ya, man...One would think that news stations would include the ever important details of ESRB ratings.

    But, nope...news stations want to cause community outrage...which means more people glued to their televisions...which means higher ratings for them...which means happy sponsors.

    And, I agree, man...it blows...

    Wheres the racism He didnt say anything racist.
    Well people who want to take video games off of the shelves need to lay off video games and focus and more important issues. They might as well not allow people to make movies and music which in my opinion are equaly influential.
