Are Violent Video Games Preparing Kids For The Apocalypse?

[meganbeach236558]

hmz Hey guys

[CBMaster2]

the fat chick is my favorite in the know panelist

[DerHund57]

@Styrofoamnews You realize that theonion is a joke, right? This isn't real news, it's comedy. Maybe you're what's wrong with America.

[StyrofoamNoise]

I can't believe that this is all the news channels have to talk about these days, and people wonder what is wrong with americans?

[mexacanassasign]

This is a joke right

[batmanofni]

This is genius.

[DrTheKay]

Only americans, with their inferior mental capaticies, play a violent game and then kill their school mates

[isaac5671]

@DrTheKay only a racist would say such a stupid thing

[Chunkboi]

@DrTheKay Look, figure it out. It's simple deduction that shows us that video games don't cause violence, nor do movies, TV shows, or music. The cause of this school violence is MIDTERM AND FINAL EXAMS.

[pioupiou701]

@DrTheKay no, it's more the retarded ignorant parents that blame video games to avoid being charged for bad parenting.

[LEVIticusPHENOM]

these people are stupid

[SwingDancer61]

Great video, back to playing Fallout New Vegas and Dead Island now.

[fuglypump]

im prepaired

[Wifierz]

hm.. seems legit.

[vBoooZem]

Wow I play fallout new Vegas haha

[craka10p]

you guys realized this is fake right ....it says onion network under it

[SineFractal]

Hahaa stupid people that think this is real

[ShubaDubah]

The chick is a gamer, just sayin'

[brad0vickers]

uh whut

[SirTannen]

Ugh, they forgot about Toaster Repair skill!

[siegeakon]

Wonder how many takes it took to act so seriously.

[iBKayzz]

1:52............LOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

[kingdomheartsabc]

wtf are they retarded

[dejimmeistahmon4742]

I don't know about anyone else, but I've been saving bottlecaps for three years straight, so I'll be fine.

[MegaGamingCraze]

while i love this video i disagree with the message to a point. for one just because u play video games doesn't mean u are friendless and not everyone really takes information like the "killing a robot with a grenade is better than a machine gun" seriously its just for fun. but i do agree that people need to eventually take a break and get real life experience for life but then again video games do teach us life lesson. great examples kingdom hearts, legend of zelda, uncharted est.

[bobfrompikecreek]

@MegaGamingCraze playing kingdom hearts will definitely ensure a life of solitude

[MegaGamingCraze]

i love this video and the onion lmao

[spawnfromheaven]

for the people who dont know its fake..just think, do you ever see a fat chick doin the news?

[HakumenSusanooh]

TheOnion is a mighty troll indeed.....

[3Onlooker7]

this is real! just think about it lol

[fidle95]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't remember cyborgs in Fallout 3. and I've been playing it for 4 years.

[Dionsilberman]

@fidle95 they meant the robots i believe

[fidle95]

@Dionsilberman Or maybe Power armor soldiers.

[MegaGamingCraze]

@fidle95 it's a joke it doesn't have to make sense as long as it gets the point across and make us laugh at the same time lol

[slayer8244]

Oh wait its teh onion

[slayer8244]

Yay so aiming with a mouse or a thumbstick is the EXACT same as holding a real gun :D

[worior62]

when i joined boyscouts i was the most advanced person there.i knew how to treat a broken bone and how to use a gun.when i was in a gun club i was the best shot the.i got all the bullets in a dimes area.also ive noticed war games actualy quicken the hand eye cowardenation

[jailbreaker98]

@worior62 *coordination

[SeriousSgtStu]

Its hilarious how many people think this is fake!

[kolinmartz]

some nut job scientist should make a research and put a bunch of kids in a post apocalyptic like environment like a dessert and see if they survive of course nobody will get hurt cuz its gonna be a controlled environment you know what i mean its just like a giant puzzle

[KFMmax]

ow if she realy has a son than...

[ToteTechnician]

The Onion is the greatest shit to ever happen.

[NewTovagulet]

I really think games are preparing us for the Apocalypse.

They are really usefull.

Without these games we would probalby do nothing whe apocalypse comes and we would all die.

[Lopez18Mark]

how bout league of legends? does that help for apocalypse hahahahahahhahahahahahah

[Tanthrax00]

Not sure if this is a joke... Or Tv hosts getting retarded....

[Comeback64]

@Tanthrax00 They aren't the retarded ones here, sir.

[Tanthrax00]

@Comeback64 That was ment to be a joke, no need to be an ass...

[SebAnders]

@Tanthrax00 google 'satire'

[connor6461]

[Obelisong]

I fuckin love these videos..



[Davve941018]

If you even for a minute fail to understand that this is satire and think that these people are being serious, then you are a disgrace to all of mankind and need to get off this planet as soon as possible...

[KFMmax]

@Davve941018

I agree!

and I dont understand that people are actualy buying this crap.

[SuperWarking]

@Davve941018 Wait a second....You mean the Onion is not real?! I mean, the fact these segments come from something called the Onion really made me think this was oh so real!

[TwoTekah]

@Davve941018 but wait, i am confused, i could swear i just saw this same thing on fox news, and that is a legitimate unbiased news network.... and after rewatching fox....I honestly cant see the difference....

[herromyfrrend]

@Davve941018 hey you fucking idiot this is real news look it up! you're the dumbass. this is very true and not fake get your shit straight before you call someone a dumbass

[OddOpinion]

@Davve941018 If you for a minute do not understand comedy and have no sense of humor, and have to ruin the satire by being a stuck up bitch and acting like the so called "idiots" are not mostly going along with the joke, then you need to eat an onion!

[HayzallNut]

This is such a Conspiracy Keanu moment:P

[mikelorus2]

It scares me to see comments actually asking if this is serious. It's The Onion.

[PlumpPigeonAnimation]

Damn this is stupid!

[NWAhome]

WAS THIS SERIOUS ?? :S

[BasementBird]

@NWAhome Of course! Hurry, play Fallout 3, the december 2012 apocalypse is almost there!

[Asynix]

I thought this was joke, than I thought again... it was a joke.

[lovok123]

Laugh now but when the end comes you will need these skills.

[thepinkninja87]

mw3 taught me to never use a thorwing knife

[theelitleeonee]

[TheMrEmJay]

[drjonasson19]

[MayoPie]

@drjonasson19 I doubt it.

[drjonasson19]

@MayoPie I'm trying to pull a trick on this guy. The Onion is America's finest news source

[indecentthinking]

@snake1625b

[TheTsarBear]

[Tootoon2009]

[SecretBlaziken101]

[metznimbo29]

@lazy4295 In Fallout: New Vegas, not Fallout 3

[alstorp100]

@metznimbo29 the android in rivet city

[enteen1]

wait wait so your telling me that this discussion is real?

[A3ROViDZ]

wow. this sounds retarded. i just play video games for fun.. this is just retarded...

[WHISKEYWARRIOR9]

Excuse me, but if you really want to take out a cyborg, you need to sneak behind it, and take out it's main hardware, setting it into a permanent shut-down state

[Lethn]

I LOVE ONION NEWS NETWORK! :D

[Totemparadox]

What the fuck dis i just watch

[dondondonman]

was this vid a joke or where thay realy arguing about this?

[victory4life00]

@dondondonman nah its real

[dondondonman]

@victory4life00 wow then not only do thay not have a life thay are retarded if and i mean IF games are preparing us for that its minde set only maby planes to but in no way do skills factor in to it at all

[Fronken89]

@dondondonman You really need to look up "The Onion News Network"...

[dragonsfire2035]

i just saying after i heard this i couldnt stop laughing

[IPawnt]

i got the fallout reference =P

[bzsoccer8]

haha the last part "playing video games alone in solitude is the best was to prepare our children" looooool

[Elheru42]

I love The Onion for always making me laugh.

[FalsifiedAccusations]

I can see for Fallout, but for Gears, come on! You're a fucking walking car. With a gun, with a chainsaw on the end.

[r4microds]

They are all fucks- Be real, it's a video game, you aren't learning major SKILLS from it. Ive scriped games before, these idiots know shit. they don't know how long it frikin takes to build a game, and they have no clue about the topic since they have not played it. Untill they do so, they can suck it. Stupid rich business men that are worried about bugger-all, except porn and their paycheck. If you're a gammer, you know what I mean. If you're canadian and pay taxes, you know EXACTLY what i mean

[TheRealJawnz]

@r4microds I see using your brain isn't really your strong suit.

[r4microds]

@TheRealJawnz : yea i agree. But it's true that these idiots have no clue how much work it takes to make the game. . . Try it yourself, if you game often, im sure you know that these games aren't really preparing kids for an apocalypse. It's like saying watching fast 5 teaches you how to drive. >.>

[TheRealJawnz]

@r4microds It's satire, you fucking mouth breather.

[ryukXsayu27]

@r4microds FIGHT DA POWAH HERP DERP

[CryTecRI0T2011]

This isnt real is it?

[NexDemise]

I am pretty sure that first thought of many people once the zombie apocalypse will finally begin will be not "oh shit we need to run/hide" it will be "finally..."

[dondondonman]

@NexDemise no such thing undead zombies flesh would rot thay would die of hunger winter i mean 100s of ways to kill them off bugs humm idk 6,700,000,000 other liveing people in the world to kill them off and brain washed zombies die just like any other man or maby even cure them with a psychiatric counseling and meds so you can screem ZOMBIES all you wont to but this is not how the world is going to end when the end days come it will be in a hell storm nuclear fire.

[lazy4295]

@NexDemise Couldn't agree with that more, when it comes it's every man for himself meaning no more rules and paying for crap, just take what you need and survive =P

[TheJP3372]

@NexDemise It will not be 3 Million people panic, more like 3 million stocking up on weapons and fking up the 1 or 2 infected people XD

[1WORLDLIFE]

The most truthful news out there

[poulter27]

lmao you need a laugh

[Silverulquiorra]

[Kinetical100]

[epicnation360DreamZZ]

[wese3000]

LMAO

[JENOVA666]

[TheKieranbhoy96]

[rofflawl]

[thepokemonkid61]

Virtual shooting will SURELY help you when the world ends [SARCASM]

[okinawa70100]

What they didnt mention is how fat and lazy playing video games all day is makeing kids... Zomie apocalys- rule one: cardio. Games dont teach you shit. I just dont see a lazy fat kid surving a post apocolys.

[okinawa70100]

Lmao....shits so fake.... Haha...

[max215001]

@okinawa70100 Fake shit indeed, but this shit is fucking hilarious. :D

[TheMCC91]

I agree with the fat lady. My son learned the same thing!

[swss4rmy]

no violent games or any games for that matter, teach you NOT to give up easily on a difficult situation despite the odds..

[MrMarett1]

I doubt a video game could teach you much about surival. Oh sure you could learn possible spots to find supplies, but the odds of finding ammo boxes in a truck, disarming a mine in less than a second, and killed enemies when you're outnumbered and out gunned, are pretty damn low.

[CBR11X]

It's satire people. Jesus!!

[jmanhailey]

these people are stupid

[BanjoThreeies]

I have no idea what you said, but great comment! Its as insightful as it is poorly written.

[BARRGE50]

Is this a joke or real u hav to be an idiot not to know that no game would actualy teach u or prapare, ur not physically or emotional experiencing anythin like tiredness hunger or killing somebody for some milk, I think ther a bit retarded haha. I love fallout great story:)

[kevisit]

If those games are to teach then its really sick. Start making games to prevent it from occuring with problem solving skills not to make ready to destroy whats left to self serve. OMG this is just sick thinking.

[TheConumdrum]

Well I'm ready!
