I read on slashdot, one of the dudes there wrote one of the most eloquent way to sum up video games that I've read in a long time, that I read once on slashdot regarding summing up video games in the most eloquent fashion.

He said, "video games are the next rock'n'roll"
 
good to know we'd fit right into the middle ages

You are right about the middle ages. But in the sense that if we really want to find the origin of aggression and stuff then we can find it around us much more, ie, martial arts, tv, work, video games is a mild contributor of violance. Or a complimentary side dish if that.

"Want some violent video games on the side of your violent society?"

Everyday I hear/see/read mass media talking about "terror", "suicide", "bombs", "death" etc. and they think a fucking video game is ruining my life? PFFF.

This guy's a clown.

Agreed, bigger things to worry about. If anything, video games reflect what a sick world we really do live in. People are just too POOSAY to admit it. We are all fucked.

Martial arts are actually meant to be a a physical way to pray to the earth, its more about peace than aggression. Usually they teach ways to deflect aggression form your life. Kinda why id like to get into matrial arts, its a great opportunity to learn about yourself.

also an article from the Economist to compliment yours Clash
"Those trained with action video-games (FPS games) were 25% faster at coming to a conclusion, and answered just as many questions correctly."
