Thx Thanatos - so I´m not forced to let the d0n´s forces roll over this tiny kiddie toy boy who really seems not to be able to get an obvious hint.
Pic says evrything... (Btw when will you ever return to t server or L4D, Thanatos? Come back soon - the Zombeez miss ya
)
@Pogue: I know what was meant by callin it a dictatorship. Just kiddin.
But I guess the whole world is "dictated" by censorship already - startin with advertisement bein a censorship to our minds cos they are constructed that well you ain´t got lot of a scope left to make up your own mind bout the utility of the product whether if it´s really worth buyin it.
Actually we ain´t able to answer THE KILLER GAMES QUESTION anymore, at least not for our kids cos (except one here) we can´t really remember what our thoughts were as kids/teens. I can remember that I always told myself when I was bout 12-14 that it´s so unfair to be treated like this or that just becos of age - I know a lot bout the world - so why you treat me like a child - I won´t treat my child/children at all like that as a grown up?! But I learned to see it in a different way. When I went to elementary school I wouldn´t even dare to think about the word "fuck" or "fucker" - sayin it I would have gotten some warm ears by me dad for sure. Now think of the children nowadays sayin it in kindergarten almost, smokin with 11 and gettin pregnant with 13/14. It´s our fuckin weak society that harms children´s way of behavior cos we give a fuck about the old not bein lucrative anymore and have no time for our children not bein lucrative yet (not talkin out of parent´s view but out of the view of concerns and lobbies that alrdy got more influence on our family life than the Bill Cosby Show in the good old days). Is it a wonder those little grown ups get lost? That´s the fuckin ONE reason for them gettin fuckin mental - and it´s not even their fault. Not CSS or a blood splattered airport in MW2... If you can´t differ between reality and virtuality anymore there is no airport needed to crank it up and slaughter anyone. It also may be the color of the cheese of your breakfast sandwich or the smell of their neighbors bubble gum or anything else but the game he´/she´s been playin the evenin before...
One last thing accordin this topic here: did you already look up the word "amok"?
"...the phrase is particularly associated with a specific sociopathic culture-bound syndrome in Malaysian culture. In a typical case of running amok, a male who has shown no previous sign of anger or any inclination to violence will acquire a weapon and, in a sudden frenzy, will attempt to kill or seriously injure anyone he encounters..."
and as well these lines:
"...Early travellers in Asia sometimes describe a kind of military amok, in which soldiers facing apparently inevitable defeat suddenly burst into a frenzy of violence which so startles their enemies that it either delivers victory or at least ensures what the soldier in that culture considers an honourable death..."
So is there any parallel to computer games?! No. But definitely a sign of suppressure and a cry for help like an animal being tossed into a corner. Actually just "human"...
Sorry for possibly lettin me go a bit here and btw contradictin myself by sayin this wasn´t meant to discuss - i dunno
...
Or even Sim City are they being trained to be the mayor of a city hall...
