they're fun, as long as you don't take them seriously, or believe that they will teach you how to clean and reload a weapon... Or fire one in real life for that matter. Personally, I'd have to say there's nothing wrong with first person shooters when you're in the market for some mindless entertainment and you've got good reflexes/hand eye coordination. Unfortunately, the media and many other people seem to think that there is some correlation between people playing games like these and violence that takes place in real life. Can we really blame videogames or any other forms of entertainment for the actions people take? Its about time someone figure out what the real cause of all the gun violence problems are instead of trying to institute some kind of censorship. For shame.
Well, I wouldn't call it illegal really. They aren't making you dowload and play the leaked file, that's really up to you. They don't mention that they support it. They're just reporting that it happened in the intrest of news. And besdies, they don't have an NDA about anouncing that the leak happened do they? I think anyone reading/. who has interest in that sort of thing probably would have found out about it anyway regardless of/. saying anything about it. Just my 2 cents. If I'm completely wrong, just say so.

Quoting Penny Arcade much? Three cheers for plagiarism! You could have at least gave them credit... Here is original text (at bottom).
