It seems that every few years the main political parties take turns hating video games for stupid and unbelievable reasons. From the Christian right, to the left, to Fox News to the Soc Jus, from Hillary to Trump. But why do they do this? Y DEY DUMB? Lemme explains.

Chris, lets be honest, this video was just an excuse to show off your Halo 3 gameplay. We get it.
Glink smh scrub wasnt even playing the mlg playlist
Them plays tho!,
Glink was watching you since 2016
lol he bad get good scrub
I play Coolmath games for the blood rush I get from killing my enemies
YOU CAN EAT PEOPLE
YOU CAN EAT PEOPLE IN PROTOTYPE
YOU CAN CONSUME HUMANS
YOU CAN UBDUCT A GRANDPA AND WEAR HIS SKIN
You can do this in real life too, if you try hard enough
People do this in real life. They BASED this game on real life occurances. As well as many others.
sounds like digital devil saga
Hmmm tasty
Can't wait for "Videogames are violent... again... AGAIN."
Λwaadh..I Actually thought this was a recent video for a moment
....aaaaaaaaannnndd it's official here and happening again... again.
It happened
Honestly you could just rerelease this again today and it would be the same thing
You could release this video every day for the rest of eternity and it would still be relevant.
I heard about this really violet game where you murder an army then a royal family. It's been around for ages and has loads of players. This sick murder sim game called Chess needs to be banned immediately.
Alex Holly I think I played that and it was so gory I threw up
It was so gory. It scarred me for life, and now i play checkers.
@Dominic Hoffman but in checkers anyone can advance to kingship, in chess many roles are predetermined from the start! Chess is eeeevil!
jeice13 And the black side is the worse one to be in!!!
Coincidently, that's actually what a lot of people thought about chess when it first came out.

Honestly, I love the people that say games are too violent. Their articles help me find the best violent games to play.
Exactly! Like Farmville, for example
They're also very easy to make fun of.
underrated
I just saw this pop up again in my recommend and I thought it was a video about recent events.
Oh the cycles...
Its really sad because the arguments are so tired and recycled, a new video doesn't need to be made. Just show people this and it's the same deal
Same, just popped up on mine. Honestly, I have a list of maybe, 20 videos that debunk these arguments. Regardless of which political camp is targeting games this week, it's always the same tired old bullshit reasoning.
Yeah same
I adore how the author at 4:15 unwittingly credits the right-wing as having exclusive ownership over every single practical means of upholding a civilization.
I also love how they have never heard of playing tall.
Really makes you think.
Space Invaders is a clear example of right-wingers wanting to keep illegal aliens out of America... made in Japan... in 1978
MokshaMan to be fair, japan is pretty xenophobic.
also, the concept of rescuing people from danger and every single way to use weapons, from artistically to violently.
i think they subconsciously realize their position is weak, so they hand out the accolades to everyone else. it's like when a flat earther says you're like niel degreass tyson and expects you to be insulted.
_Yesterday I was playing Angry Birds and I managed to get to this one level that I couldn't complete. I kept trying it over and over yet I didn't manage to finish the level and getting that one last Hypochromic Anemic and limbless Swine._
_I remembered spending my whole afternoon trying to complete it yet I had no idea how to do so. It got me angry so what I did was took a deep breath, stepped back to think of how to calm down._
*Then I went on a murderous rampage and started molesting children on Pictochat.*
Okay if this stuff were true than shouldn't one's target of murder/rape be pigs and birds as opposed to humans?
kamenridernephilim Yeah but I haven't seen many hypochromic anemic pigs and birds of the same varying colours with super powers
+kamenridernephilim
C'mon, everyone knows the pigs are a metaphor for children, and "throwing" the bird it's molestation... somehow.
True story, when I was a younger man, I was home on leave walking down the road with my brother. We both played Ultima Online together through the magic of the Internet when I was stationed 3000 miles away, and while I was home this day walking with my bro... we saw a pair of birds on a telephone line and said, simultaneously, "Let's kill them and take their feathers for arrows!"
Our wording was different for each of us, of course, but the intent was the same. Good times!

"It took 75 years to teach our soldiers to kill, now, $60"
isn't basic training 10 weeks for the army? I'm just saying

@@vincentmoore7714 I see, thanks for clearing that up
There was a series of studies done that started even before the Great War which found that like 1 in 5 soldiers will actually shoot to kill, even when in danger which explains why so much ammo is spent compared to actual hits. Eventually, not so long ago, the solution was found - teaching soldiers the routine until every action up to the very act of killing becomes pretty much automatic for the soldier. Turns out it's easier if you just don't have to think about reloading, aiming and stuff like that. Implementing human shaped targets also helped.
“Sometimes I think the the atomic bomb is the way out.”
Holy shit, somebody needs to keep Matt Walsh away from loud music and sharp objects.
ImperfectWeapons Chris is taking Matt a bit too literally. He's not saying it makes you a "bad" person. He's saying everything you do makes you a "better" or "worse" person. Activities either better your life or not. Its more of a philosophical argument. Same could be said about any hobby that takes too much of your time. Heck, I'm a worse person for writing this comment because I could be doing something more productive. He's not saying gaming makes you bad or that it makes you a murderer. He's calling for introspection of how we spend our free time. Its not about legislating or even condemnation, just a call to think about how we spend our time.
Keep him away from anything with an acute angle
I love daily wire and Ben Shapiro but Matt is a idiot.
Andy Jones Still, Walsh made a huge logical leap in assuming that violent video games must make you worse. Unreal violence can be cathartic without causing actual harm, and games in general can improve skills like problem solving and hand-eye coordination. The only good reasons I can think of personally that playing games would be a bad use of your time is if you didn't enjoy them (could be said about any activity) or if you neglected responsibilities and relationships over it (more of an addiction/poor time management issue in most cases, though games can be made with the intent to be addictive like gambling lmao).
Andy, he literally said that "Playing video games won't make me a serial killer!" is a silly statement.
On the list of ways people spend their time which is "harmful", *especially for young men,* playing video games is at the *bottom of the list.*
This guy is absolutely deflecting in a desperate attempt to get people to quit blaming guns. It's *sick.*
Does paintball also lead to serial killers? Just curious.
Digi?
Yes.
more importantly, water guns? Chess?
Freddy gabriel Lol he does look like Digibro xD
They're probably going to ban two-finger shooting when they ban bump stocks. No more sending ropes of paint at people single shots only everybody! Turn based volleys. Speaking of paintballs and paintball guns didn't law enforcement adopt non-lethal use of said things? The force who is supposed to protect and serve but legally only has to protect the law and not people, but use deadly force constantly because they hire anybody instead of training people how to diffuse situation instead of just immediately flexing policing power. Bottom line that's fucked up people that's why we have police and that's why we have laws because people with basic morals do not need laws to tell them not to kill and steal if anything video games are a stress reliever and not a gateway to commit acts of violence someone willing to commit an act of violence has always been that way way before they touch any video game, or they snap because life is hard and sometimes you want to give up or do some dumb shit but as civilized humans we need to get the fuck over it and move on. If you're going to go on a mass shooting start by shooting yourself in the head and dear everyone stop linking mass shootings to video games because it has nothing to do with it. A simulation is nothing like doing it physically. And like Chris said video games are not always about killing they are an adventure or have some kind of objective they are not all FPS... or war games which the government would be being hypocritical about if they brought up war games. Lmao
"Mario to Zelda,"
Yeah... Those ARE the two games with that plot.
The complete set of two games.
also, let's skid past the point that zelda is significantly more powerful and plot relevant than main character link to the point that in the histories the games show, they have "princess zelda, chosen one of the goddess hylia" and "the hero in green", functionally showing that this is a world where a woman is the much more important character than either of the men that theoretically hold her equal level of power, because that reading of the series doesn't fit neatly into his little narrative.
@@Yal_Rathol yea the game is literally named after her, link is just the link between the game and the player. For the majority of the games he doesn't even have a name, he has your name

He literally just said video games are the same thing as Basic Training...
ikr, talk about wasteful government spending right?
Halo2nothing11111 as a marine that went threw basic. No, fuck no, not even close. Games are fun and action packed. Basic is sitting in a class learning military history, basic life saving skills, and drill (standing around but looking good at standing) most combat skills are hand to hand self defence. And two weeks learning to shoot. Like hell.
Kill me. It takes about a year to train to be a "killer" and that's only if you have that job.
I remember this fat guy back in high school said he was going to join the Army becuse he can quick scope in CoD
lord Machado
Well, keep in mind, these are the same people that think those two weeks of learning to shoot qualifies you to be trusted with an M-249, while the enthusiast who spends every weekend on the range is unqualified to wield anything more dangerous than a musket.
Dsi1ver I didn't know America had the worst trained soldiers on earth. I'm surprised they were able to win wars since they have less knowledge about war than a kid who played COD for 2 minutes.
When people say Chris ray gun only makes fun of the left
Me: this video
The assertion should be more accurately rephrased as “Chris Ray Gun only makes fun of stupid.” The answer to that would be yes. This allows the previous statement of him making fun of the left to be true and him making fun of the right to be true. Although, it seems the left is more well versed in stupidity. I have to watch a Brett Weinstein discussion every time I watch a PC or leftist video because I need to revalidate my hope in the human race.
@@HotTaiCurry Although it's worth noting that just because the right doesn't say as many stupid things, it doesn't make everything they say 100% right. Honestly it's not surprising to me that the super progressive side says much more outrageous statements.
+MichelleObama2020 That goes without saying. Did you think when I commented what I said means that I’m not knowledgeable of the far right holocaust apologetics and the identity politics? No, I have more sense than that and I feel like you are discrediting my ability to have an objective morality and compass aligning with yours. If you want me to put it so that there is no way I could miss that major detail, I am a liberal, but not a leftist as I find the current party appalling. I say I sit with people like Brett Weinstein when it comes to beliefs but I find Alex Jones funny (man is a walking joke, if you see anything else you really are dense) and find Cenk Uyger appalling (see Tim Pool’s video on his meetup with his “old friend” Cenk. That’s the final straw I needed to dismiss that guy Cenk.) I think that is enough context for you to rationalize my general stance but nothing too specific.
@@HotTaiCurry I wasn't trying to apply opinions to you that you didn't mention and I apologize if it seemed that way. In this day and age it seems as though it doesn't go without saying and I just though it was worth stating. If you haven't noticed, logical fallacies are more abundant than ever right now, especially online.
+MichelleObama2020 fair enough, I appreciate still seeing people able to be civil in the comments, as that seems to be a scarce occurrence as well.
The way you worded your argument is flawless. Hit the nail on the head. It’s not about the killing or the gore, those are just flair to make the games more flashy and exciting, but at its core, every single video game since the inception of the medium has been about either outsmarting the game or outsmarting another player using the mechanics of the game. It’s no different from chess or poker, just presented in a way that comes off as more interesting due to added context and simulated stakes.
I’m 30 years old. Around 2010, I played Left For Dead online all the time and actually met a couple people through the game. We played together for almost a year and we all three decided to meet up and we have been best friends since. Same thing happened to my brother but he met his friends playing Call of Duty.

One of the best memories I have of my dad is us playing Halo combat evolved and the Xbox version of counter strike. He was never good but we had so much fun playing. I remember spending all day on the weekends playing through campaigns and multiplayer matches eating snacks and sugary drinks. He passed away last year, but I'll always hold those memories close to my heart. Always love and appreciate the people around you, you never know when they're gonna be gone.

Another timeless quote from Lord Tom Sweeny
Whenever I here the phrase "violent video games", I automatically think of non-violent, PG games like Minecraft, Myst, Portal, The Sims, Civilization, Mario, Stardew Valley, Chrono Trigger, Cities Skylines, even things like Candy Crush and Farmville, some of the biggest and most well known titles in gaming, and think, gee, LOOK AT ALL THE VIOLENCE. It's like the media thinks the only games that exist are Grand Theft Auto and Doom.

remember when that football player became a violent murderer, and they determined that he became violent as a direct result of his football career injuries... and then determined that there have been several medically verifiable instances of this occurring?
nah man. it's the videogames.
Back in my day everyone was trying to whip up a frenzy about those devil-cursed *Looney Toons* cartoons saying the impressionable youth was going to drop pianos on people's heads and think they could walk off cliffs and be fine. Heck I remember when they used to outlaw books they thought were corrupting the youth, now they can't get anyone to read a single one.
Yeah, when the printing press came out, the political and religious leaders of the time had the same sorts of things to say about that. Even before that, they were already on about how bibles had to stay in Latin, and putting them in a common language was a vulgar blasphemy that would only corrupt the people. It has always been about collective consciousness control through censorship and information manipulation.
You want to know the real reason politicians in the US consider video games to be a threat? Games that teach simple messages to young people about questioning heroes and politicians and the things they do and say. I mean, we can debate the literary quality of game stories like in Metal Gear Solid 2 or Far Cry 4, but they're both excellent examples of games with simple universal messages easily communicated through the in-game contexts that the players must interact with to progress gameplay.
Pensive Scarlet lmao It's true. I bet there were early hominids hundreds of thousands of years ago angrily shaking their spears at others for painting pictures on the goddamn cave walls because creating pictographic representations of things is what makes the Ancient Aliens show up and start probing butts and mutilating livestock.

"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -- Marthe Troly-Curtin
She's wrong. Time you enjoy wasting _is_ wasted because it didn't benefit me in some way shape or form, so you shouldn't be allowed to have fun.
:^)
Heh.
bullgodjake Even if it's a waste of time, who cares? It's not like Matt Walsh is being productive either.
Matt Walsh wasted almost all of his life to become a journalist just to end up writing nonsense bullshit not contributing to society (rather undermining the society instead)
you do benefit from "wasting time" you enjoy because you get to experience something enjoyable and become happier because of it. Also whether your time is wasted or not is not for anybody else to decide but you, since it's completely subjective and I think the person "wasting the time" knows best whether it was wasted or no.
Really got me emotional when the Halo music kicked in.
Could tell you had a very genuine feeling of the past. I'm sorry.
Every parent should see this. Wish there was an edited version starting with the halo walkthrough and no cursing. Feel like it would change a lot of parents minds if they are logical, reasonable human beings.
Describing a violent video game as a murder simulator is akin to calling chess a war simulator.
"To assume that fictional depictions of realistic violence has no negative repercussions on the mind is willful ignorance on the part of the people that want to preserve their favorite past time despite the negative effects it may have on them."
To assume fiction has negative repercussions is also willful ignorance. If only there were qualified people studying such a claim. ...hmmm ...who would they be?
Man, you really need to clean your screen if you think that is what David said. To assume that consuming any media has either positive or negative impacts without evidence to back it up is ignorance.
Besides, deferring to a credible expert on a subject you are not well-versed in isn't a bad thing.
It has been studied actually. Quite thoroughly in fact.
Last time I checked call of duty doesnt have your brains spilling out it just has a little splattering of blood and then the dudes dead. It’s never that gory unless your playing doom or something. And also when have you ever heard a mass murderer or rapist say he did it because of video games? The only time something like this is even remotely said is whenever they figured out that the dude had an Xbox in his room with doom on it or something. Then they just assume that that was the case. Maybe he was high, maybe he was, I don’t know, INSANE? You really make no fucking sense dude.
Isn’t IT a fictional depiction of violence?

I'm almost 100% certain that most people who claim playing video games is a waste of time have never played a good video game before. It's a hobby, and hobbies are all about having fun. And as long as you're having fun, you're not wasting your time. It's that simple, really.

I remember playing wii games with my siblings, parents, cousins and friends. Some of my best memories of my childhood.
BUT OH NO, the wii tennis turned me into a serial killer
you can hit people with the ball and that's dangerous!!!!11
said no one ever
I felt a little bad when I hit the ball into the stands so sure yeah I'm gonna go commit remorseless murder now
All Wii tennis ever did to me was get me whacked in the head with a Wiimote.
You could say I have a killer backhand.
Darn wii system. I used to play Frisbee, and tennis. All it did was get me in shape, and sharpened my reflexes.
I recently watched a video of a professionally trained SWAT officer playing Airsoft. He absolutely eviscerated everybody at it because he had been _professionally trained_.
As a gamer; sure, I'd be better than your average person for the same reasons you stated in this video - I'm constantly thinking about flanking angles, line of sight, how to outsmart my opponent etc and I'm more experienced at doing those things on the fly. I've been playing FPS games for well over a decade.
But up against someone who is professionally trained? Hell, even someone who's been through Basic? I don't stand a fucking chance in hell. They will destroy me. You couldn't pay me to step into a paintball arena with someone like that because I don't want those fucking bruises.
The argument that video games turn people into "effective killers" is absurd. Being trained to be an effective killer makes you an effective killer. Video games - at best - make you a crafty and quick witted plebian with a gun.

Prototype was an incredibly satisfying game. Any game where you can jumpkick helicopters and leap off of skyscrapers and cut tanks in half with your arms is A-Okay in my book.
Prototype was good amounts of fun. Even more interesting though is that it was spiritual successor to an Incredible Hulk game, Hulk's: Ultimate Destruction. The gameplay of those games are very similar and also has same developers. :D
I agree with that. I can say women can also enjoy it. Or I’m probably born wrong gender lol
Well according certain "experts" video games are training simulators, so you can do those things in the real world.

That video of Glenn Beck saying video games are used to desensitize soldiers severely irritates me. First off, they're not used by the military for desensitization, they're used because they can simulate combat scenarios. Even before video games, soldiers would play table top war games for the same reason. Also, if they were supposed to desensitize them, then they failed because I've read articles written by military experts who've seen soldiers play games, then go into combat, and completely lose their shit because virtual violence and real violence obviously aren't the same thing. The media are so quick to point the finger at games, music, and movies. Well, what about all the war footage shown on their programs? Oh wait, they can't blame that because that goes against their agenda of being pro-war so, they brush that off completely. Fuck these assholes.
The second to last sentence really gets to the heart of the issue. It’s just the old media lashing out at their competition and a medium that’s much harder to use for brainwashing.
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 And the whole comparing playing video games to training. Absolutely fucking insulting. I can see where Big Boss got some of his ideas for Outer Heaven. I highly doubt this nut juggler could make it through a day of Good Life Fitness boot camp.

I like how the Sween gets activated and doesn't skip a beat.
There have been studies that show playing video games can improve reaction time and puzzle solving (depends on the game) video games can build relationships and can be a great stress reliever
My parents had the best strategy. Anytime I’d play something violent or something inappropriate came on TV they would consistently ask me if it was real or pretend consistently. Really beat that into my head rather than just banning me from them.
That would've pulled me out of it, it's pretend but I don't want to talk about that when I'm in the middle of it.

Although the average kid would be annoyed by it, it's a very good way to show your child that this is not reality. Props to your parents.
I love how the Last of Us is "alt-right". I TOTALLY remember Richard Spencer talking about protecting gay girls at his meeting. And also violent video games have made me so jaded to virtual violence that when I still get squeamish when my dad got a gash on his knee. tl;dr, scary new media is bad because reasons.
Alt-right seems to bash video games and things like D&D. They seem to try and tap into gym-rat culture, hating on anything that's not in line. I've watched various big names in the movement and Spencer seems the most 'chill' of the bunch. Gamers and alt-right really don't mix, something I thought was made apparent in GamerGate (that is GG was very diverse)... but then again, they're calling Shapiro a Nazi Jew, so maybe...
The subtle 'Moon Theme' (Ducktales) cover in the background toward the end totally got me man
Yeah, you make a lot of good points in an amusing way, but I have one thing on my mind:
Why do you have a subway sign hanging up in your living room?
"I think the atomic bomb is the only way out"
Me too, my friend...me too.
Skynet save us!
Fallout
Fallout is the only way
Video games sales are at its all-time high, but violence is at its lowest in decades... I guess video games makes people less violent. TAKE THAT FOX NEWS!
in my experiences, in most games you get your aggressiveness out so youre less likely to act on said aggression irl (although that being said some are rage inducing xD)
That's a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, but yeah
8:35 literally this whole rant made my day amazing and made me rethink how I perceive video games. Thank you Chris.
"Video games arent a murder fantasy, theyre problem solving"
(Doom 2016 footage)
"okay that ones kind of a murder fantasy"
If one fantasizes about murdering creatures of pure evil, dedicated on corrupting the human race and causing the destruction of all that is good and wholesome in the world, sure.
@@cardboardhawks6783 Dont get me wrong bro i just tore through Doom Eternal in like under 3 days
Grey Bayles i know you aren’t serious, but it still makes little sense in context.
What’s fun again?
A wise man once said " Sometimes the atomic bomb is just the way out" Never has a truer word been spoken. All Hail Tom Sweeny. Hail........👏
Shows genuine emotional vulnerablities, showing that there is a real person behind to facade portrayed with real things happening in his life.
"I can Appeal to emotion too."
GOTTA LIGHTEN THINGS UP
I didn’t realize who wrote the article until now. We really do come full circle
i’ve rewatched this countless times and it never gets old. chris said he thinks it’s the best video he’s ever made and i completely agree. i even quoted it several times in a paper for my eng101 class
"Stop pretending violent video games are harmless." Well, good thing I don't have to pretend that imaginary violence causes no harm.
I wish the sex in mass effect was as good as fox said it was
the geth I always loved the news segment called "se"xbox. If Microsoft ever released a seXbox, I'd buy it. I've never bought an Xbox before, but I'd buy that one solely on the name.
The part where a company actually charged real money for save slots surprised me because I also heard it in The Chalckeaters song for Bethesda “It just works” and I thought “so it is true”.
This is my favorite of all your videos so far. The way you described gaming, in a way that non-gamers could possibly understand, it was fantastic dude. You managed to make me super excited about my own favorite passtime, lol. Have you considered making any game review content? I think you would be good at it dude.
And not to mention racing games that can turn dumb kids into car enthusiasts, which is what happened to me
I’m sorry
Fox news: OH NO ! IT'S A CIRCA 500, HIDE YOUR CHILD !
Lol and you and I are too alike in fact that is my exact year and type of dream car.
Holy shit me too
Ofc your a car enthusiast you are one
My man called Rosetta Stone ROSA PARKS
I used violent videogames for self-therapy. I'll explain: when I was 10 yrs old I got hit by a car, badly. A LOT of pain involved, almost lost a leg, scars all over my legs ever since, 2 yrs until full recovery. And also I have become very afraid of cars, even riding on the front seat was incredibly scary, I felt like the car would crash all the time. Crossing the street was terrifying. Then I found out about the Carmaggedon game. It was shocking, and cruel, and so insensitive to people who had been hit by a car like be. Playing it was a mix of disgust, anger and anxiety, but I insisted playing it every other day. A month later, it just felt like a game. At the same time, my anxiety about cars was pratically gone, years later I decided to become a Mechanical Engineer (I even worked in the automotive industry for a couple of years). My sister saw me getting hit back then and to this day (20 years later) she is still a bit afraid of cars. I haven't been afraid of cars ever since my Carmaggedon marathon. Today I'm a 30 yrs old hubsband and dad, extremely patient and chill, never had any episode of violence at all.
edit: I also have played (and currently play) other violent videogames, not only Carmaggedon.
Literal LOL when you said "You see? I can appeal to emotion too!"
"...although effected by context..." = 'I am about to ignore the context.'
What, ya saving the world from interdimensional aliens? But thats the _context_ ! Youre shooting humanoid bodies... you're a serial killer confirmed.
Enjoy prison, bucko.
I was a suicidal drug addict and abusive alcoholic for some time and if i didn't get distracted by video games and movies (violent or otherwise) then i wouldn't be here and some other people might not be either
Quitter.
(I'm joking; I'm actually going through something very similar right now. Big congrats on your sobriety my friend.)
Holy fuck watching this video 5 years later I cannot believe fucking MATT WALSH wrote this.
I am a cereal killer, i kill my cereal in the morning everyday, by drowning it in milk, then eating it alive... i blame video games
FreeCountDankula
His ear gauges are grossly offensive and he deserves to go to prison for it.
Sentence?
Kash K jail time
thats all we know
Ive made so many friends playing games i actually met one of my best friends at school when i made a Age of Empires joke
Cole Dewitt wololo
WOLOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What was the joke?
@@pengukingu wood, please
I'm gonna meet my wifu on games. Gonna be a cool day when I become a not virgin
The part where Chris is talking about outsmarting an enemy speaks volumes as to why I play siege. It’s that satisfaction of outsmarting or outperforming an enemy that keeps me coming back for more, as do many people. To add on too this,I have met many people through a love of siege that I still have as friends,so if you do dislike video games, please let us have what we like,as we do for you
I love how he has doom playing in the background as he talks about violent video games😂
Chess was demonized before dnd. Before that it was probably balls or something.
Before the video games moral panic it was movies, comic books, TV, the Jazz music, and Rock N Roll. Decades/eras have their moral panics no matter the thing or part of the world.
Socrates hated books because they made people less intelligent than memorization.
kamenridernephilim they used to burn people at the stake for inventing football
I shit you not, some teacher got mad because his students writing on paper and not stone tablets
Yeah, but it was only demonized because the Soviets made it their national game.
so does this mean that my 100 hours into surgeon simulator makes me a qualified surgeon?!?!?!
Stealth_Pool YES
The bigger question is why did you play that mess for a hundred hours?
no it turned you into a serial killer duh! (i know i'm a bit late)
I have over 500 hours on Kerbal space program
But I have only landed on the moon once and when I'm lucky I dock ships I suck at the games I love
Deaven the king Then you are a qualified rocket scientist
OMG PMSL 😂 FarmVille made me a serial killer of crops....love your vids always make me genuinely laugh out loud
I was in my psychology class and my teacher was talking about how video games actually tend to delay mass shooting and school shooting. Because having a place where they can do all of the stuff they want to do in a world without consequences.
