great work, and if anything, over-the-top games REDUCE violence, because the average person identifies the game as unrealistic and either never makes any connection between games and reality, or they lear wat not to do. the calmest ppl i know play the most violent games. my most violent friend are the ones who study for big tests and stress out, lashing out at every1

Reminds me when, way back in the 80's, a kid committed suicide... investigators found "Dungeons and Dragons" game material in his room... they then linked it somehow to his suicide... totally effed up and stupid...

Hey, people, did you know the US gov/military is hiring 18 yr old video game experts to fly unmanned drones and eliminate targets in real world war zones? Do you realize how much the US gov. values video gamers?

Don't criticize them; they are keeping you safe!

Didn't Arnold Schwarzenegger make a career in the violent media?

Video games are a scapegoat for violent behaviour, and nothing you say will change that fact as these people never listen. So we just have to wait until this whole fiasco blows over and something else takes its place in the hot seat.

Great video. Keep up the good work.

This is an awesome video. Well researched and well presented.

Excellent video! It's nice to see people not blame violent crimes because of violent video games. How many people are killing each other on Halo every minute? So are all these people potential killers as well? I don't think so. Keep up the great work! 'A' material most definately

Well, you are so right on the fact that many studies that say video games cause violence are totally biased. I also loved your stunts. They seemed so real. (Hopefully, they weren't.) I definitely think many people should see this video.

There is still some room for improvement, though. For example, try using statistics charts in your presentation. I've really gotten a great idea of how violent video games reduced crime rates by looking at this one chart that I found online. So try doing that.
