House wrote an article on violence and mentions video games. Here is my comment and the link.
Hey House,
I have played some fairly violent first person shooter games with friends over the years. In my view since I am mentally healthy, was brought up with basic morality in a secular home, and most importantly, am guided by God, I do not think that I will commit violent acts as a result of those games, any more than I would commit violent acts from watching violent movies, or reading literature which contains violence. However, if a young person, in particular, is not mentally healthy, does not have basic morality, and does not have God, I believe that video games, certain movies, and many things that contain violence, even literature such as the Bible which describes violent acts, could somewhat influence a person to commit wrong actions.
I do not like video games that glorify violence, but games that show the reality of evil can be beneficial in philosophical terms. House, I will link this article and my reply in my next satire and theology article.

My comments to Helen concerning her nice literary article, and the link.
Hi again Helen.
I have not dreamed of writing a novel, but when I was younger I wanted to write comic art. As for now, besides academic writing it would be neat for me to combine satire and theology in book form as I do in articles with my other blog. There is also something fun about comic art which satirizes reality, although I am not a skilled cartoonist.

My comments to Wade on construction work, and the link.
Hey Wade, back in 1990 I did a construction job for a few weeks and in my first week I pulled a board forward with a crow bar, and the board hit me in the face and gave me a bloody nose. The medic ran onto the site to help me as some laughed and some gasped.
Oh, I guess it was actually a crowbar.:)

The following are first person shooter games I have completed.
ReplyDeleteShadow Warrior (Mac)
Killing Time (Mac)
Blood (PC)
Delta Force (PC)
Call of Duty (PC)
Western Outlaw (PC)
Delta Force is my favourite of those games as I like art and gameplay the best. Call of Duty is probably by far the best graphically. Shadow Warrior and Blood are both very creative, and Killing Time and Western Outlaw are good but have gameplay problems. These games are good for relieving stress from dissertation writing, although I have not been playing them lately. My primary game is computer soccer.
I agree with you, I am healthy, and I love the MMA fighting, I even play judo and Juistu. I have no desire to go out and hurt others as a result. Rick B
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick, you make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe following is another Spam email, and this time it comes with a bogus disclaimer at the end. I checked out the CNN link and the headline states: Daewoo founder Kim gets 10-yr term.
