Post by: brawndolicious on July 10, 2009, 03:23:09 PM: That site doesn't work for whatever reason.

Apparently there was a Bullshit episode just yesterday on violent videogames so I guess that issue is definitely going to be in this game. I don't get how this show would work on a game format though.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 10, 2009, 03:24:10 PM: It was about videogames, not a videogame. And Bullshit is not a game show. :lol

Sometimes I think you're functionally distinguished mentally-challenged.

Post by: brawndolicious on July 10, 2009, 03:41:20 PM: It wouldn't be the first P&T game though. I just skimmed over the title but seeing it on the gaming side kind of suggested that it was an actual game. This thread made me interested in the show again so I looked up the episode list and saw that episode and did not connect the dots.

It's your fault for not moving it.

This episode was really well done, felt bad for the kid at the end though.

Post by: brawndolicious on July 13, 2009, 04:32:58 PM: The problem is that they can't really shine a positive light on the video game violence activists. Without any evidence, these people claim that video games are a major factor in causing school shootings so it's most likely that they are either insane to arrive at that conclusion or that they just want some of the spotlight every time there's a Virginia Tech or a Columbine.

I thought they did a good job as far as showing how the average gamer doesn't confuse pixels with reality.

Responsible parents aren't letting 9 year olds play GTA anyway.

I don't think that mom came off as "irresponsible" whatsoever.

The look on that kids' face after he shot the rifle will stick with me for a while...

Post by: OptimoPeach on July 13, 2009, 06:12:14 PM: I think I was 11 or 12 when I first played GTA3. Then again, that kid has future serial killer written all over his face, so I probably wouldn't let him play GTA either :lol

Will also have to grab their special on orgasms, but am in fear that it may show either Penn or Teller's O-face. :o :yuck

The best is when Penn learns that he is a gun nut. "What the fucking fuck!?!"

Post by: EmCeeGrammar on July 14, 2009, 05:20:24 AM: Showing hypocricy and alterior motives of video game violence activists doesn't disprove a possible correlation between violent games and aggressive behavior. They dabbled in the hard facts too little.

I think violence glorified in media can have adverse effects on impressionable children, but theyd have to be already "disturbed" in someway. And movies/music/games would be pretty fucking boring if they had to be sanitised so we don't encourage the sociopaths out there.

Just sounds like someone is a PUSS-AY

Post by: brawndolicious on July 14, 2009, 05:42:17 PM: It's not the sound or the recoil of the gun that scared him, the point of that scene was to use him as a (joke) litmus test to see if he'll become a suicidal fuckbrain from playing Ghost Recon.

He passed that test, but I imagine that he was scared shitless with anxiety because of the pressure of a television show seeing what violent effects his hobbies have on him. He probably was just happy to get it over with by the end.

The fat guy though, he's got problems.
