This sort of discussion always seems to have te ability to piss me off. Please dont misinterpit i dont mean your comments but the wery thought behind this story existing,
There has also been some discussion about this game in particular in my country recently (iceland) about age restrictions of video games or even banning them.
Of course GTA:VC was used as an example, seeing hookers run down on the news now happens daily with outraged mothers screaming for the dev team of the games to be burned and its source code to be condamned along with judas 'n co.
Well not quite, but almost but lets get back to the thing that pisses me off shall we and that is that nobody really knows if computer games CAUSE all those murdering and rapes (fortunetly none of that has been happening around here) are these people just plain stupid or what? it reminds me of those killings in the states some time ago where some guys slaughtered their school buddies because they had subjected them to some horrific mental violance but no, nobody thougt to care about that all they could see was that they were manson fans and listened to rammstein even G.Bush came on TV and called them cowards.
They may have been but the fact is that what would have stopped them was not banning their copy of Doom but their classmates being nice to them for a change.
But that's off topic.
People tend to find stupid resons for things like that, because its easier than facing real problems and real issues.
I would like to end my comment with a quote i found before reading this story today:
"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo VP, 1989
P.s. Sorry for the bad english, i do live in an egloo:) plus i haven't slept for 24h
Although i haven't tried it myself the people over at MacDX.com claim they have a pretty interesting solusion for DirectX porting.
Might come in handy..
