Hey, I went to this "rally" on the scheduled date that was clearly posted on the website. I even checked the website at the last possible second to see if the date was changed or canceled.
I took a 50 mile train ride to Manhattan only to find that only 3 other people showed up for the "rally". The plans were changed, but seemingly these changes were only announced on Arcadia's Myspace account and not the site itself.
i just think it's stupid that people blame violence on video games.video games are just fun.they dont make u go shooting people just because it's in a video game.the person who made the choice to do such a thing is at fault.so why blame anyone else?
Gamers get shit on from all ends, even from other gamers, but those don't game and aren't bothered to undetstand why we game seem to be the same people who want to ban and censor what we enjoy. Non-gamers always say, "Get a life" or whatever, but gaming is a part of life and they can't stand it.
A part of life better spent doing something else. My little brother does nothing but play games and hes a fat unhealthy shit with no friends. And there's plenty others like him. It's time consuming and addictive i used to play a little. I want those hours back. Pfft nerds
@Ste0wnz Video games don't make people unhealthy it actually is being discovered that video games increase visual skills and can encourage the brain to work more often. It can also be healthy physically if you enjoy playing the Wii, PlayStation move, Xbox kinect and the games that go with those like sports games or exercise games. so the only reason to blame overweight and things like reduce in vision is do to laziness and not taking brakes from the video games every hour or so.
Increase visual skills? Maybe some skills i suppose but theres eye strain and a bunch of others like being so used to looking at a screen from the same distance . Ever heard of carpel tunnel syndrome? "Can" be healthy physically? I burn more cals in one minute of running that waving your arms around a little on a wii fit lmao i've never seen a more disgraceful activity haha. The main problem is heavily addicted nerds however which are undoubtedly high in number.
@Ste0wnz "eye strain and a bunch of others like being so used to looking at a screen from the same distance" that is why i said to take breaks every hour or so that way those stuff don't happen, and like i said it physically helps you if your playing one of the games that require you to actually get up and move like sports games and exercise games basic games will not help you physically as much as the other two.
Yeah and all these die hard WoW and such players take breaks between hours? Bullshit. I've played games before and know they're heavily time consuming and for many, addictive. If there are internet cafes full of gamer nerds entering when the suns up, leaving when the suns down and in South Korea serious gamer nerds who in some cases have even died from gaming and other such interesting cases then I really doubt gaming has this moderate effect on many or even most.
@Ste0wnz you still can't blame video games because its still the person who don't take a hour or so breaks fault, and there are some people who do take breaks.
Jerk Thompson is an attention whore. Every generation has its scapegoats. in the 50s it was comic books, in the 60s and 70s it was rock music, in the 80s it was heavy metal and rap music, now its videogames. I wonder if Jack Thompson was alive durning WWII if he would blame Hitler's Behavior on Chess, i mean after all, in Chess your goal is to conquer your opponent.
I am one of the most hardcore gamers around! I was practically born with a controller in my hand, and I still love games as much as ever! Also, what is up with all the Game & Watch Gallery music?
I don't know what you have heard over there about it - but in Manchester the Church of England is annoyed at a shoot 'em up (the PS3 one.) has a level set in Manchester's Cathedral.
Awesome video! I wish these guys were near where I lived, I'd totally join them! It's about time that we stand up against Jack Thompson and the media in general and diminish the negative stereotypes we gamers get!
This is rather enlightening. I'm not sure if computer games are despised by the population of the UK here, it does seem worse where you guys of. When the the Virginia Tech massacre was on the news here, I don't remember them linking it to video games. Maybe the culture here is different ^0^
the media has been fucked up for years, if you believe them your just retarded.

I am sick of hearing Jack Thompson's voice and all the garbage he spews out.
If he wants to blame something for all the bad things in the world, look in a damn mirror Jack, it's down to bad parenting.
