I really hate it when mainstream media and other dumb shits out there come down on video games as the reason the world has problems. I mean, one asshole basically said playing Grand Theft Auto III was worse than molesting children. And that dick isn't some nutjob religious fanatic with a cucumber up his ass, either -- this particular nutjob works for the New York Post, which I had until now assumed was a respectable news outlet (not anymore, though -- what kind of editor allows this shit to go to print?). It's times like these I'm ashamed to be a member of the media.

Not quite as sickening but still pretty fucking stupid is what happened with the guys over at Penny Arcade during their charity drive for children. Take a look-see.

And finally, this essay is one of the most intelligent rebuttals to the absurd claims that video games and video game players are perverse freaks out to destroy all that is good in the world. Way to go, Gonzalo.
