Hello Everyone!

I guess most of you have heard of the Greatest Gaming Villian thing on Gamespot, let's just hope it turns out better than the Greatest Gaming Hero competition did. I mean seriously, Mario > Gordan.

Currently watching: Seinfeld

Currently listening to: Dungeon Elite; Hollywood Undead; Drop Dead, Gorgeous; Eminem.

Currently playing: Been playing some CoD 4 and Halo 1, looking for some friends to play with localy since I live out in the middle of nowhere with terrible connection.

Reading alot of dated gaming magazines like Computer Gaming World.

Now, it's time to cover a couple subjects here.

Subject 1: Gaming, it's in my blood.

I've been playing video games since I can remember. FPS games, RPGs, Adventure, Side-scrolling, RTS, all kinds of genres. Maybe it's because my dad was a gamer, and he passed it on to me, I remember when I use to play Unreal Tournament with my dad when I was young. It use to be a challenge... Now, I kick his ass. But we still have fun when we occasionally decide to play some LAN games.

But recently, I've found myself wanting more of a challenge, in games like CoD 4. I've been wanting to improve myself, and I have been, I've beaten most of the missions on Veteran difficulty, and I seemyself getting better. But, I feel like I want more, maybe I just need some competitive multiplayer.

I don't know, but I'm just happy I have a dad that plays video games, or else I don't know what my hobby would be. Probably something productive and healthy, and something that keeps me active... Thank Goodness for video games. :P

I'm happy to have a dad as cool as the one I have, and it's probably thanks to him that I got into gaming in the first place, and got into Warhammer in the first place.
Thanks Dad...

Subject 2: Video Game Violence.

Been kinda thinking about video game violence recently. I actually have a friend, and his little brothers, about 7 years old, and they play games like MW2 and Halo 3. Yeah Yeah I know, they are really young to be playing these games, but I have to say: they can handle it, for now.(Hopefully won't affect them in the future).

Now I'm not saying that it's okay for all kids this young to play these games, I'm saying that it depends on the person. These kids are totally normal, they aren't violent, they act just like any other kid there age. But they have an older brother to tell them what is right and what is wrong, most kids there age shouldn't play these kinds of video games. But they are an exception, they are able to handle it, and are in good mental and physical health (and for their age, they kick ass at the games they play).

Personally, I wouldn't let my kids play those games until I saw that they could handle it, when they were a teenager. But, I think that it depends on the person who plays the game, I've played FPS games since before my age was in single digits. And I'm not messed up in the head... Well, maybe I am just a little bit, but not because of games. Games like these can even relieve stress for kids, or even help them release anger, and give them time to cool down when they're angry. All in all, I just think that it depends on the person who plays the games, and they're mental health, if they are hot-headed, etc..

*But I do agree with S4N that no kid that young should be exposed to that kind of violence.*

So what are your opinions on the subject?

That's about it. Next blog coming soon.

See ya!
