God help us, it's on Joe Duffy now

Jip

Won't someone think of the children !!

Ronan|Raven

They rang me earlier asking to go on and talk about it as I had been on about gaming previously. I kindly declined. What a load of cock, cannot wait for the "OMG KILLING"

Kinetic^

LOL! You have a reputation Ronan! :D

I'd of gone on but I can't listen to what they've been saying in here.

Amalgam

Modern warfare2, to be fair, they're just warning, not condemnation as such. Joe isn't umm.. stoking the fire as he usually does..

Hmm, show is going whingey, pushy concerned parent on now..

Not yet, the first guy was a gamer, why he rang to whinge I don't know, but once the Maude Flanders brigade get on it'll all kick off.

ironictoaster

A mother won't allow the game in her house even though her children are 14, 17 and 19. LOL, also what a biatch

Amalgam

Maude is on now..

Jip

Ha Ha, was just about to post that Amalgam, her problem is the addiction side of things. Now Joe is asking if there was any evidence it makes people violent, I'll break the gits other leg if he asks anything silly like that again


Maude Pauline is now saying that parents will be pressurised by their kids to get the game, that we must make a stand against this type of thing, I knew it wouldn't be long before the blame was passed onto the developers.

Rovi

She takes 'the broadband' with her in the car! :eek:

Ronan|Raven

MAKE A STAND!!! oh god this is great.

Jip

We should have cliche bingo here, GTA now got a mention !

Ronan|Raven

Oh great now some one is on harping about hoe the US Army use it to make themselves cold and killers! Going by how they are doing in Afghanistan better keep playing...

Jip

Ha Ha, now MW 1 was used as a way to deaden US soldiers to killing real people. She's saying she's banned her kids from playing it as if that's a great thing, eh excuse me missus, they shouldn't be allowed play it, it's bloody 18s ! !

She read it in a 'magazine' a couple of years ago :rolleyes:

Joe you dick, what buzz did you get out of shooting the civilians he asks, is here a bigger sarcasm smiley than the one above ? He's now bringing Columbine into it. Another score on the bingo board.

yoshytoshy

At the end of the day ,wars are going on everyday somewhere.
It's not like the money from the game is funding either side of it:rolleyes:

Gummy Panda

She's crazy. MW2 has had no effect on me.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know which is busier in Dublin Airport, arrivals or departures?

But she knows how violent the game is as her husband was in the FCA and held a real gun (actual gun maybe a gun shaped hurley)

fullback4glin

The most entertaining thread i've read in yonks.
Keep up the good work lads

Kinetic^

Can't wait to get my hands on the podcast tomorrow!

Gonzovision

Your a passive mental ability!:rolleyes:

Aldebaran

Maybe hes just a bad teacher.

bmdmac

Unreal this Gabriel fella needs to realize nobody in Ty cares About crappy projects they have 2 do.

Creature

Oh great some guy compared the kids buying 18 rated games to buying alcohol or cigarettes. Now we'll have one of the shrieking mothers saying how it'll give you cancer.

yoshytoshy

That teacher was an ass ,some of the most creative people I know are gaming since they were kids. And they have jobs to prove it.
Plank.

ScissorPaperRock

MW2 took my ability to read and think, it's full of passive mental receptors

Jip

Will that be the new school yard slagging, you passive mentaler !

That seems to be that, the fun is all over bar the Hearld or Independent running with the story tomorrow.

Creature

What are you all saying? I can't read any of these replies.

ScissorPaperRock

What are they all so worried about anyway, I mean, don't they know that if they get shot all they have to do is get to some cover until their health regenerates? And sure if that doesn't work they'll respawn anyway.

DOC09UNAM

this thread was a lolfest of epic proportions, and listening to the radio was just as funny... today fm was talking about the game too.. ray foley pointed out that the game asks you like 3-4 times if you're sure and says no achievements will be lost, yet he still did it anyway, and it was awesome.

Flaccus

Someone should have rang up and told those morons that studies by The Harvard Medical School Center and The British Medical Journal have shown no link between video game usage and violent activity.

If those parents claim that video games hinder their children’s creativity and development only have themselves to blame. Parents should limit the time they allow their kids to play video games and use common sense. Like the aul one that is on the radio now. Pathetic.

As for the violence in Modern Warfare 2, the game is over 18’s for a reason. If parents don’t want their kids exposed to this sort of thing, then they shouldn’t buy these games for them.

Absolute idiots.

But but but she said she read it in a magazine years ago !

Anyway, we have lift off again, we're back onto the subject.

johnny_adidas

"the only time we fight is when he's playing the game"

interfereing partners and parents up and down the country, listen, do not disturb anyone when they are playing a game and everyone will be happy!
has anyone mentioned the kid who killed his parents when they took it away from them yet?

DOC09UNAM

Because he's bullied apparently, he's not allowed the xbox, but he's not allowed play mw2, lolfest.

Jip

Who is this young woman speaking with a voice of reason, doesn't she know there's no time for logic on this program !

Flaccus

Yer one on the radio now let her son off with games to alleviate the bullying problem he was having in school, and now he is addicted, 17 years of age and they can't take them from him. Bad parenting if you ask me. The girl countering this women now is making some good if obvious points about addiction.

DOC09UNAM

the kid that's on now, really phrased everything he was saying wrongly.

"easy to get off, just put it down and your done"

Lol'd.

He's obviously high after feeding his addiction

Flaccus

I think they did a study on 6 year olds some years ago and found some kids would act a bit aggro after gaming for long periods of time.

Their method for testing this was a bit odd to say the least though and not very scientific.

1. Blow a horn into their ears
2. Measure their aggression
3. Let them play some computer games
4. Blow a horn into their ears
5. Measure their agression
6. Subtract 2 from 5

Kinetic^

Epic test. The person that blew the horn in my ear wouldn't be alive to test my aggression!

Pfft but they're mothers. They know better than any of those 'scientists'

"Come here to me Joe, I'm a parent so I know what I'm talking about.."
:rolleyes:

Jip

We just have a bigger tool, he thinks it's simply time for the censor to step in and ban these games, "that's what we need to protect us from this".

Eh, no it's not, what you need to do is take a step back and look at your own parenting skills and realise that you should have nipped any issues you had with your kid before they got out of control

CutzEr

"Ban the importation of them"

lol...

Flaccus

All these people are attention seeking nobheads who practice bad parenting skills. Dolts. I regret not ringing up now and they never read my email out. Damn.

neil_purdy
