Holy shit, The Boden is still alive and kickin'. :D

Nice piece y0. The sooner parents stop blaming the games and start, y'know, parenting, the sooner sensationalistic crap like this will fade out.

I hope.

Holy shit, it's like a total blast from the past.

Send me an e-mail (drbensina at gmail dot com) with your AIM info, since my buddy list is all private and shit. Catch up and all that.

Or, of course, if you don't have AIM, just e-mail will do. Sometimes I forget that there are other programs out there (even if they are better).

long time no speak

This whole topic is very interesting.

I read somewhere that when the video game revolution really kicked off (mid 80's to mid 90's) our generation were young, playing games like super mario, shinobi, etc...

Now that we've aged, we're looking for games more to our liking. I'll be the 1st to admit, i love playing grand theft. But if i had a son or daughter, would i allow them to play it? HECK NO

Parents need to take a greater responsibility for their kids, and not blame the video game industry. The sales #'s are there, these violent games are popular. By the way, the avg. age video gamer is like 29

I wouldn't let any kid under the age of 18 play GTA or any of those games. Why... b/c you're way too influential in your teens.

Damn it America, get with the program!
