So I've been neglecting all my online communities for the past several weeks (as I mentioned might be the case) and the situation won't be improving any time soon. Unfortunately we are totally over-taxed at work and with GTAIV out, all my free time has been spent running people down in stolen virtual cars. I'm hoping things slow down over the summer and I get a chance to get back to regular posting and commenting on other people's blogs.

In the meantime, I'd like to comment on all the hate GTA is/will be getting. Once again the general public (and msm) seem completely unable to grasp the idea that a videogame could be made for and marketed to adults and not children. The level of rhetoric about training our children to be criminals is absurd. Of course videogames are not the first medium to get this kind of attention or criticism, merely the latest, but it still makes me bat guano when Jack (the complete nutbag) Thompson starts talking about bringing criminal charges against Take-Two. When oh when will we have sanity in public discourse?
