[Forum Rules]   Back to Forum Thread List HitPerson   Posted 6th Apr 2006 10:04pm L4Y Member Post 161 / 379 http://archpedi.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/160/4/402 This is pretty interesting from what i've seen (I admit I didn't read it all): From the article (under Table 3): "We observed 6011 character deaths from violence in approximately 42 hours of game play, occurring at an average rate of 145 character deaths per hour (range, 0-1142)." That's a fair amount of mayhem to be caused, I guess after so many years of playing violent games, I just quit counting. That makes me even more appreciative of games that keep count of who/what I kill (especially when they break it down into categories). I also like the conclusion they come to (from the article): "Parents and physicians should recognize that popular M-rated video games contain a wide range of content and may expose children and adolescents to messages that may negatively influence their perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors." Really, so young kids shouldn't play M-rated games because they may contain MATURE CONTENT, shocking indeed. opinions/comments are appreciated Hitperson: a politically correct assassin.     LordSeafood   Posted 7th Apr 2006 2:39am L4Y Member Post 1016 / 1792 I kill way more then that in an hour P.S.

Some people complicate things more than they have to be.

You know, that is probably the best way I have heard anyone sum up this whole situation. Hitperson: a politically correct assassin.     133   Posted 7th Apr 2006 5:55am L4Y Member Post 54 / 79 According to some American losers with formal education in psychology, a child who witnesses this many deaths in such quick succession will be desensitized to the act of committing murder in 12 hours. So by this reasoning, everyone on L4Y can commit a gruesome act of violence against another human being resulting in death without remorse. Contrarily, the people who are either responsible for the dramatized acts of murder (gamers) or who see the most violent images, are the intelligent ones who have the simple mental capacity to differentiate between real life and video games. So we all should be pretty safe. I TOLD YOU I'D SHOOT! BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!     HitPerson   Posted 7th Apr 2006 10:34pm L4Y Member Post 168 / 379 Quoting 133 According to some American losers with formal education in psychology, a child who witnesses this many deaths in such quick succession will be desensitized to the act of committing murder in 12 hours.

I got choked up when I saw a turtle get run over the other day. How is that for desensitized? On the other hand, I ran over a squirrel and couldn't care less. Maybe that's because I hate squirels (bastards!). Hitperson: a politically correct assassin.
