 | I Hope This Marine Gets What He Deserves... March 03, 2008 at 2:08pm in news |
This is the most disturbing video you've probably seen in a while. It shows a US Marine (he doesn't deserve that title) throwing a helpless dog off a cliff. It's awful and I hope that the asshole gets punished. Due to it's content, I'm not going to embed it, but you can view it here.

| New Study on Violent Video Games and Kids March 03, 2008 at 1:19pm in gaming |
Kotaku just released a tidbit about an upcoming book about children and violent video games. It's noted that this book details studies that contradicts what Jack Thompson and many others try to claim: that violent video games turn children in violent, killing machines. As quoted: Until now, the most-publicized studies came from a small group of experimental psychologists, studying college students playing nonviolent or violent games for 15 minutes. It's debatable whether those studies are relevant to real children, playing self-selected games for their own reasons (not for cash or extra credit!), in social settings, over many years. But media reports and political rhetoric often ignore that distinction. It's going to be interesting to see if this gets any publicity and how those with opposing views are going to react to this. and how they respond.
