This is a _sick_ way of getting more getting more anti-game views in peoples minds.
The damned advert doesn't even say it requires the stories to be verifiable (read:true). I know that it may be hard to prove that games turned you to crime or not but this is RIDICULOUS!

some kind of secret government ploy of anti games conspiricy???
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!
all i can think about is "we get manhunt 2 = we win" as im through going ape sh!t at the amount of bad press violent games gets, oooh a game turned you to drink, smoke, steal, kill, contact the aliens, become pixelated and work out in a san andreas gym, absolved you into the matrix, taught you the meaning of life, made you a god of war, let you virtually own a porshe, fly a space ship . . . .

video games runied my life! i sit here in my chair all day now and play games, got fat, girlfriend left me, im greasy and balding , . and i blame the games! not the fact that im a weak minded weiner who cant get off my fat ar$e every once in a while

I'd love to write in as an anti gamer one and just lie my arse off.

Ever since I started playing Call of Duty 4 the MOD hasn't been off my back about signing up for the SAS, they know I has teh leet skillz to pay the billz but I can't get my head around this no respawn thing, it's like ultimate hardcore or something.

And always carry a knife, you run quicker with one

If I ever feel like killing someone in the future, I'd like to do it Max Payne style with dual pistols or maybe like the Ninjas from Tenchu when they jump down from the rooftop and slit their victim's throat from behind.

i want to write one.

along the lines of...


it started about 12 years ago, i got Dogz on my PC, i got a greyish dog, and i put a jumper on him, he liked it, i did too. that dog looked so darn sweet in that jumper i needed one for myself, but being 42, i had no money, i stole the money off my mom, she is 82 and is a bit crazy so she didnt mind. i went into the shops close to my house, but alas, no jumper, i grabbed the clerk working behind the desk by the throat, and shouted "What sort of crap store doesnt sell the f-ing red jumper off Dogz", he claimed to be an optician and not a clothes shop, but i was having none of it, i punched him in the jaw, and thats where my downward spiral began. it got worse over the years, my Sims kept weeing on the floor in the kitchen, i'd shoot up to cope with the stress, do you know how hard it is to get Sims piss out the carpet?!! NO!!! NO YOU BLEEDING DON'T!!


and so on
