Opinion on gaming?

[NickLiberty776]

Back when I was in High School one of my friends tried to get one of the teachers at my school into gaming but the teacher said he doesn't want to be associated with kids who kill. Is that how people view gaming? If so the video game industry needs a massive PR campaign. Do you have any negative feelings on this form of entertainment?

The people who believe video games lead to violence and killing have either never played a game or are incredibly ignorant of what gamers enjoy.

Well, if he's playing games all the time, he's not spending time with the gangbangers, now is he?

I played the original gta and all it's subsequent versions but I don't suddenly get the urge to grab a gun and start shooting people.

I admit after playing lots of fighting games when I was younger, I started taking tae kwon do, but I never got into any real fights.

I also shot my grandfather's guns (target practice, not hunting) before I picked up my 1st FPS. ^^

ETA: However, after several years of playing online games, my language has gotten "saltier" which is something I need to keep working on.

I remember when I was a kid, I was always looking for cherries so I could go eat ghost.
