Yes, and let's hope I can allow myself an equal degree of laziness once school starts again. ^_^

Wow. I saw you once before. Then you disappeared off the face of Scratch. Now, you just randomly reappear. How strange. Anyways, glad you're back! 

Thanks! I used to come on quite a lot, but school doesn't allow me anymore.

You remember that? And actually, I said only when you're old enough to marry.

As sanddude said, yes, you are correct. I don't buy or play video games which involves committing serious acts of violence.

If you've never even played the game, don't make ignorant claims about it!!! It's like hearing a movie has violent scenes, and then claiming "Oh my god! This movie has nothing but violence in it. If someone watches it, they will automatically become a mass murderer! Call 911! Now now now!" without even seeing the movie.

You'd be hard pressed to find where I said or implied that in my post, because I didn't.

It's already to going to be "fueled" from the stuff people say at school.

Let me put this simply for you:

Violence in video games + Violence in life > Violence in life

Kids are already going to know about this stuff, and may feel pressured to do it, so parents might as well just let them play and actually EDUCATE them about violence, instead of trying to hide them from it.

Blowing zombies to bits is educating them? Well, I never would have guessed.

sorry but that little equation of yours makes absolutely no sense.

Violence in video games + Mentally Ill = Violence in real life

I think we're taking this a little too seriously. The chance of becoming a mass murderer from a video game is simply zilch.

While 'blowing the head of zombies' (as a lot of us has put it) isn't the most education thing, it gives a chance to socialize, let out anger, have some fun. Relax. The chance of a young gamer who plays violent games will be influenced when he's older is low. Very low.

Fine, fine. Have it your way.

It wasn't aimed at you, it was just a general opinion.

I know, and so was mine.

Well quoting someone does give the impression that your aiming at their comment, but enough. I won't press any further.

So wrapping up:
Only play games that you are legally allowed to play, or with your parents permission
Playing shooters, or games with violence, won't make you a murder
Dudes like shooting the heads off of zombies

Well that was fun.

That last statement is only true concerning some people, not everyone.

I presume you're talking about Assassin's Creed. If so, then that is the point of the game, right? I mean, you're an assassin. The point is to kill people. Why would you even want to play something like that? You enjoy playing games where you have the pleasure of pretending to murder people? Anyone who enjoys playing those types of games is in my opinion slightly sadistic.

Its people like this who probably have never played nor tried a "sadistic" game.

Then you have no right to critisize them.

Why?

How can you say "Pizza tastes terrible" if you've never eaten it? How can you say exams are easy if you haven't had one yet?
So how can you say a violent video game is bad and is for sadistic people if you've never played it?

1) I constantly see adverts for them on TV or the computer.
2) I once unwittingly saw gameplay footage of Assassin's Creed.
3) I suppose they're rated 16/18/whatever because you have to shoot fluffy bunnies with knock-out darts?

but that's not the gameplay
and assassin's creed is one of the worst out there.
seeing and doing, two different things my friend.

We're talking about the violence, not the gameplay. If a game is rated 16/18/whatever, than evidently it has violence in it. Or sexual content, or profanity, or drug use or whatever. It obviously has SOMETHING bad in it to make it a 16/18/whatever.
