Anybody excited about Oliver "Ollie" Queen and Dinah Laurel Lance first meeting in the DCnU next issue?

'[T]echies in their early-mid 20s' are not immune to stupid opinions, even about video games - they seem proportionately more likely to fall into 'anything I don't get is the root of evil'...it could be video games, it could be furry fandom, it could be anime...they're not into it, therefore they don't understand it, therefore it's evil. (Most likely, they're just more likely to spout their opinions where I can see them, but I sure don't hear it from older people, who generally range from apathetic to positively interested, in the case of video games (if they're not miserable people in general, which is a rare trait among the older folks I deal with, but I tend to associate with older folks in a context which selects for the positive types).)

	You have a point, but I think the 20 year-olds who think video games are the root of all evil. It tends to be folks in their 60s who would find the games too confusing to play anyway, or people in their 40s who feel the government should teach morality to people.

Speaking as one of those people in their 40s, I found the line extremely jarring (especially going unchallenged as it apparently does). I don't want the government to tech morality to me or my family...and I play a LOT of video games. I let my children see and play games at different age levels depending on the content. Certain scenes in Red Dead Revolution? Strictly Verboten. Playing Halo: Reach? Not a problem. Playing Modern Warfare 2? Not happening for a few years. Playing Minecraft: all the time. :)

It's not so much that I don't believe that people out there hold that idea, even younger people: it's that it sounds so tone wrong for THESE people. A high-tech hacker-type and her VP Steve Jobs-ian boss both agreeing that video games lead to violence? It rings false.

	Fair enough, I didn't mean any offense, I'm just saying that it's typically the older folks who are trying to ban the violent video games--and since you seem to be actively involved in what they're playing, you're not the kind of folk I'm talking about at all. :) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
