Killographic: Violent games are corrupting our children! Addicting them body and soul. Like masturbation only not as sticky. Or as fun. (via Penny Arcade)

  • I knew people my age didn't stop playing video games, but I hadn't realized that the average age of video game players is 28. Well, back to the Vice City. I mean work! Work! Back to work.
  • It's so true. As a child I never wanted to kill people. I just wanted to make frogs jump across busy streets, or to be a short italian man leaping over barrels thrown down crooked girders by giant monkeys. Luckily I got over that as I got older and I trust that our youth will too -- assuming they have loving parents, decent health care, and don't get drafted to some war in the middle east.
  • I can't count the number of times I've clubbed helpless seals, or killed people who were talented in hopes of gaining said talent. Not to mention the near genocide I've inflicted on the helpless turtles around my house. Please stop me, before I have to go one on one with Mike Tyson!
  • When I'm driving, I slow down by ramming the car in front, and stop by driving into trees or walls. Computer games are evil.
  • "Dude, this game is totally killographic!" It has a good ring to it.
  • Hmm, the killographics on this are excellent. You know, pretty much that exact comment was made for Unreal Tournament 2003. I like in the article how the gaming industry spokeman is entirely dismissive of the whole thing. This doesn't make me like Grand Theft Auto though.
