@ryogapower @Gelugon_baat @evil_m3nace I love when polite recommendations like "You may want to do "x"..." are met with angsty replies. RAGE ON, MY FRIEND!
But Breivik had a very clear concise rationale behind his rampage, which he wrote out in great detail in his manifesto. He is under the impression that Norway is being overrun by Islam and that when Muslims become the majority of the population in the near future their "true" intentions would become known and they would attempt to convert the future religious minorities to Islam by force. He killed those children because he believed they were indirectly supporting radical Islam and religious fundamentalism by being part of the Labour Party. He views himself as a hero.
He can't train for marksmanship with Counter Strike. Saying World of Warcraft is a "violent" game is a stretch. It's certainly a time consuming game that would have isolated him from Norwegians that could've challenged his paranoid perspective. The Norwegian press is trying to sell papers and one way they can do that is by scape goating a popular yet new interactive medium; video games. It's nonsense. Everyone already knows damn well why he killed those kids and it didn't have shit to do with World of Warcraft or Counter Strike.
"it was actually their willingness to help pick up the examiner's "accidentally" dropped pens that determined whether their social behaviour had been altered as a result of the time spent playing."
Really? Thank God I decided to study medicine. This pseudo-science would drive me insane. Just think of all the unaccounted variables with an "accidentally" dropped pen? Distance, whether a second writing utensil was within reach, how much time did researcher allow before they attempted to pick up their damn pen themselves. This isn't science.
Not to mention only 20 minutes playing each title? How about a study where the intervention involves dozens of hours of exposure over a month. And what mission did they do in GTA IV? The beginning of the game where you just drive Roman around?
Regardless of your opinion, this study is heaping pile of pseudo-scientific bullshit
I honestly don't because I believe Microsoft knows how unpopular the implementation of these policies will be to consumers. I believe Microsoft is seeing how many unpopular policies they can implement that would increase their control without losing too much of the market. Might be too late for that for that last part.
Spare me this contemptuous paranoid prepper tone. Clearly, we are all reading up the Xbox One and Microsoft's policies. I'm "awake". No need to be condescending.
First, these questions were supposed to be answered at the reveal. Now, their supposed to be answered at E3. Microsoft should release a carefully worded but detailed statement about these policies. This is getting worse day by day. Having any federal government agency declare your device is a "monitoring device" is a damning statement.
It would behoove Microsoft to stop giving statements along the lines of, "This isn't true. We will explain how it all works at a later date." Microsoft just needs to come out already and explain how the Xbox Ones always on, used game policy, and required Kinect use works. These rumors are killing them from a public relations stand point. The later date should be today!
No, you've clearly missed the precedent Danny established when he started doing this show. When Danny does the show he does a great job of using nostalgia, mockery, and history when he does random encounter. This is the third time I have seen Johnny just put little to no effort into the series. In this episode, it's just him cursing. In the Clive Barker episode, he simply shoots friendly AI. In Chivalry: Medieval Wafare, he spams the voice commands the entire episode. I like Johnny and Feedbackula but this clearly isn't his forte.Go watch the Painkiller episode with Danny
