Drunk.

Hey dawg,
I'm drunk right now.
Lotsa scotch,
then Wild Turkey.
My liver is cast iron.
So don't be hatin',
'cause you can't hold your liquor.
Hey dawg, I'm drunk.

Gaming can bring about violent behavior.

 [NOTE: I am plan on doing more research on this topic for myself.]


I touched on this subject in an earlier blog of mine, but after thinking about it some more, I realize that this just can't be blamed on poor parenting; it can also be blamed on sociopathic behavior.

Because when you hear about someone stabbing another gamer over a video game like Counter-Strike, that's because they are probably sociopaths. Who else would do this? "Well what about short tempered folks?" Usually short-tempered folks just resort to punching when they get rage-faced, this is stabbing. 

SCENARIO: Sociopath likes to watch violent flicks or play violent games and they're bullied at school. They're probably going to be influenced by what they see. Not the developers fault as this world can be very nasty and as artists, game developers like to reflect that. Freedom of expression.

The solution for this would be to remove the sociopath from the violent media. Why should one bad egg ruin it for everyone? "But what about bad parenting, Mouse?" Then take the child away from the parents/legal guardian. Not easy, nothing is. Hard work is the key.

My point is, we can't just say that gaming can't influence violent behavior, because it can influence those were were unstable to begin with. I'm not saying it's the only thing that can do this, even a tennis game between a sociopath and his friend can trigger homicidal tendencies.

Goals.

Many people have goals that they have a desire to see attained, then all of a sudden they either lose sight of those goals or they mysteriously forget them or something drastic hinders them.


There are many people working 9 to 5 jobs, jobs that they hate, however most of these people have families they need to provide for. But what about those who do not have families or someone they look after? Is it really good for them to think there's nothing else for them? I don't think so.

I am reminded of a scene from Fight Club where Tyler Durden threatens to kill a young man. Why? To get him to quit his job at a convenient store and pursue his dream of becoming a Veterinarian.

Now I am not saying I want to threaten death on anyone, however for single individuals, male or female, I believe they should be woken up and made to realize that they are more than the mediocre job they are working.

It's a dream of mine to become a great journalist and I will achieve that goal.
I hope that you achieve yours, dear reader, as well.

Be well.

EA doesn't care. EA isn't here. EA gone.

EA is clueless about the gamer, despite owning actual game developers.

They're constantly following gaming trends for the purpose of making a quick buck and not for the benefit of the gamer who they claim to be all about.

No wonder many predict the downfall of EA.

Not dumping on their developers, just them and only them. They haven't changed one bit and all the good their developers do, they take all the credit.

Charlie Sheen no longer Winning.

After suffering from a severe case of the dreaded illness, "Eeyore-ism", Charlie Sheen no longer seems capable of tapping into his Win.

"I.. don't know what came over me" proclaims Sheen, "It's like having a sugar-crash turned up all the way to 11."

Currently, police investigators are searching through Sheen's home for any sign of illegal drugs and so far nothing is coming up. "He either went through the entirity of his stash or he really does have Eeyore-ism." Explains Sgt. Dingus Kaun of the Malibu P.D., "The illness sounds mentally retarded, but I guess.. it's possible?"

How do casual gamers, new to gaming, view old school games put up for digital distribution.

TSIA

I want comments on this one. I want to know if anyone knows any newer gamers who view older games with either a sense of "awe" or with disgust because of how dated the graphics look.

Here's why T.G.I. Friday's sucks.

They over cook their steaks and they water down the whiskey.
Why would anyone do this? 

I once walked into my local TGIF and confronted the management about this. I was cussed at and spit on and this resulted in fisticuffs in the same vein as an action movie.

As the fight lingered on, the cops showed up. I escaped by jumping out of a window and landing in the front seat of my car (windows down).

And that's why TGIF sucks.
