Well not really.... last time i wrote about game violence now its time to look at the silent killer.MMO's

Some of us have played MMORPG's such as everquest WoW Anarchy etc..I used to play WoW and it was great for the first 1-2 years then it got boring till BC which got dull after 3 months yet i still played.While most of us like to say "we're not addicted" we are and MMO creators know how easy it is to get hooked.

They create a competitive envioroment.Unlike other games like CS,C&C where you actually have to have skill to play.All MMO's require is time....and since us humans are very competitive we spend time killing mutated wolves in some jungle so we can get a special item and become more powerful...while your doing this it seems fine but when you quit you realise how much time you wasted.And in order to keep you playing they use random drop so you could kill mutated wolves for 3 days and not get the item some guy could throw a fireball at one and get the item you wanted...which in turn makes you want to keep killing wolves.

Some of us have been addicted to MMO's and even if you havent im sure you know someone who has and know the consequences.When i first started didint have much of a effect on me...But ones i got into the whole equipment thing id spend most of my time in my room killing oversized birds.i wouldnt go out id eat in my room and once i quit i relised i had wasted 4 years of my life doing nothing.

But there are some innovative ones coming out like Huxley,Aion,AoC all of these are better then WoW but since WoW is more popular everyone(even people who dont know what it is) would say WOTLK is better.Obviously AoC Aion or Huxley arent gonna end the long reign of WoW but sooner or later it will die but by then Blizz would have put out a new MMORPG with will be the same sack of crap.

Im not saying dont play MMORPG's just dont get to involved after all its just a game...

Now i watching a special on a local tv station where they interviewed a mother who said VT and the other school shootings were all the fault of game developers.....Now we all know that when you unlock special achievments on xbox 360 it shoots a rocket laucher or a machine gun out the back.....

Ive been playing mature rated games since i was 10 but i dont have the urge to kill all my classmates then proceed to self-pwn.They say that some situations are "life like".Most of us have tried it if you write panzer onto your life keyboard a tank'll drop out of the sky...

They also say that children want to be like they're heroes from the video games they play and think they can do the same thing in real life....Now im sure most of us have wished we were a part of those epic video games(FF7,MGS etc) but we've had the common sense not to do what they do....And if your kid actully think that if he getblown up by a tank he'll respawn at the hospital with no weapon and having lost a little cash,or he thinks that if he take 3 magnum sniper rifle bullets to the face all he has to do is wait for the round to finish then theres something seriously wrong with him/her.

People say the virgina tech shooter trained with CS...so exactly how did he do that memorised that b43 is a ak a b82 is kevlar/helmet?

History has shown that people always try to blame something cause you cant blame god for a shooting and since they failed to take music and movies with supposedly also influenced violence off the air they now turn to video games.Im sure most of you have read horror stories ive read 1 or 2 and i consider that worse then video games because you yourself imagine what happened when it says "...there he was lying in a pool of blood" now how did he die i can imagine everything from being beaten with a bat to being dismembered by a chainsaw..

im not saying video games/music/movies have no effect on people but i mean if your kid is unstable you cant say the only reason are the video games.And if a kid actully mistakes a video game with the real word god is gonna throw a lolbolt at him anythime soon...

My advice to the parents if your kid wants a game get it for him but also get him playing creative games like sims,guitar or strategy games hero...thats how i was brought out id play a bit a GTA then switch to warcraft 3
