Yet another in a long list of games being blammed for the downfall of society. I actually wrote the writer of the article letting him know exactly what I felt about his article heh.

I don't know if I'm just completely de-sensitized but hte killing in GTA3 was nothing big to me. I mean It's nothing I haven't seen in a million games. The only differece was that it was random people and it was supposed to be normal people. THe novelty wore off fairly soon. I was surpised that my mom and her uhh Boyfriend I guess seem to think thi stuff is horrible. I have problem thinking about it either way period. It's a game, you play it to have fun? I don't go much further then that, besides I don't play certain games if I think others may find it offensive. Basically what the f**k, people still care about video game violence?

| Quote: | | Take-Two was founded in 1993 by a young fellow named Ryan Brant, who was apparently raised in a family steeped in its own Vice City values. Ryan's daddy, Peter, a polo-playing fop from Greenwich, Conn., did time in federal prison for tax fraud after trying to write off $1.5 million worth of massages, jewelry, scalp rubs and what-not as business expenses. |
a*****e.

for those not wanting to read that entire article, here's the reader digest version.
OMGZ! You can do anything in this game. and that includes being able to kill people if you want! and guess what?! People under 17 can have people over 17 buy this game for them, so that means they r making a gameboy GTA so ONLY kids can mass murder! This game is the devil!
summed up here

Haha, that was an excellent summary Kireol except you left out "OMGZ sell your take-two stock NOW cuz like video gamez w/ blood arer BADD! and that makes stocks go down!"
f*****g idiot. That stock is probably booming right now w/ the GTA package on XBox that just came out.

I personally found this quote to be among the worst in there:
| Quote: | | People, this is insane. This is 10,000 times worse than the worst thing anybody thinks Michael Jackson ever did to a little boy.... |
Im sorry, but saying a video game, ANY video game, is worse then the actual act of child molestation is completely ignorant and biased and I said as much in my e-mail to him. I wonder if he will actually respond, or if I will be just "Another evil gamer".
Penny Arcade chipped in on this today as well =)

So, Take Two use to make s****y cheap ass games before Rock Star came along. I know, my boss can't stop talking about Rock Star.
The boss at Rock Star, some guy named Sam is a arrogant cuss, and drove his people to death. These guys worked 10 hour days 7 days a week. so after awhile, they all got p****d, and said something, and management came in and fired them all.
All the good people at Rock Star were laid off because management believed they could always hire new people.
sooo these guys I know are predicting that Take Two and Rock Star are going to be f****d sometime soon.
Just thought i'd throw that in.
