video games

Can't remember why my CTer started about this, but he linked me this video 2 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMdtScwoRPI Worst examples ever used. Deus Ex being one of them, since I own the PC port and have been playing games for 15 years... I told this to him and even showed him...

According to Moms Against Gaming, Richard Dawkins recently debated video game developer Cliff Bleszinski (key developer behind Unreal, Gears of War, and a bunch of others). Does anybody know where I can watch, read, or listen to this debate? So far, Google turns up nothing...which makes me...

The facepalm is not strong enough for this one: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/12/21/nra-blames-violent-entertainment-for-shootings-eca-responds The nerve, indeed. It's just... the hubris is so mind-blowing as to be surreal. Not only has every study shown no causal link between video game...

This is a softball for Nintendo. Virtual console sales (the online 'cafeteria' for purchasing older/classic games à la cart) are sluggish, to say the least. Ironically, these games currently enjoy distinct advantages which would make them exactly those titles which are the most profitable, per...

Okay, so I caved in (pun intended) and bought Minecraft, and yes, I'm one of those people who didn't intend to play it obsessively, but of course ended up doing so anyhow. Thing is, though, there's a really interesting urban legend about Minecraft. I don't know how it got to be so widespread...

And away we go.... Never mind that violent crime is decreasing as sales of video games increases. FBI reports decrease in violent crime for fourth straight year

Are there any skeptical gamers going to PAX East in Boston (Mar. 11-13, 2011)? It would be fun to have a kick-off skeptics gathering (brunch?) before things really get going, so we can find some line buddies that have more in common with us than just video games.

It's called Sock and Awe! So far there have been over 44,000,000 shoes successfully thrown at Bush. And which country has the most "hits"? The United States. Enjoy :) ETA: My personal best is 12 hits in 30 seconds - top that!

I don't know if this has been discussed. Hopefully it hasn't. I read CTers all the time say that video games are brainwashing the masses to recruit them from everything into the army to making them serial killers. Of course, we all see the amount of people lining up at the recruitment lines...

Lately I've stumbled on a new simulation game coming out by the same people who did the Sim's. I'm still new so I can't show links, but just Google 'Spore' and you'll find the website eazily enough. Hint: www(dot)spore(dot)com The basis of the game is to evolve life from a simple microscopic...

It's called "The Journey to Wild Divine" Checkit out - http://www.wilddivine.com/Demo/ Thing is - I'm a sucker for really good graphics & it looks kinda cute - I'm tempted! ;) My DH would never play it cos he'd freak if you stuck those things on his fingers! Seriously though, it does seem to...
