I also used to like fighting games and various adventure games. But now I want something more relaxed. Started playing spider solitaire 2 suit, I recommend everyone to try it. The game really helps to relax.

The increase in violence in video games has gone up at the same rate that violence in schools have.

Are you saying there is an underlying common cause or that violence in schools encourages violence in videogames?

It's hard to prove it because anyone who would do a study on it is a liberal gamer nerd, or an authoritarian luddite.

But either, something is making our entertainment more and more violent every year, or our entertainment is making us want it to get more and more violent every year.

And schools are having the same problem, so something is correlated IMO.

I blame the Internet.

I was watching a TV show last night, and for 45 seconds they just held the camera on someone's open wound while someone else off screen was talking.

WTF is up with that, what kind of freak are you trying to edge through this god damn episode.

It's the class war, entertainment works better than opression and is a lot easier to manage
