    I’ve been banned from my neighborhood park for eating all the wild mushrooms and jumping on turtles, video games ruined my life:(

        I dove into a storm drain and got stuck, but fortunately some guy with a fishing pole came by, hooked his lure to my pants, and reeled me out :)

      If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

      Wallpaper Engine 2 fixed the issues from the first one, but Wallpaper Engine 3 was just a different game with the Wallpaper Engine name slapped on the box.

    Good social/political cartoons simplify a problem to its basic elements and make fun of whatever is contributing to a problem. Bad ones oversimplify a complex issue and are just an illustrated version of closed-minded griping. Actual “humor” is optional.

    Guess which one the above is.

    Yeah. It’s all video games.

    Nothing to do with years brutal bullying, social excommunication and schools “boys will be boys” attitude.

    I think it’s absolutely hilarious that there are people who genuinely think it’s better to ban violent video games than to take away the stuff that enables you to shoot people. If only there were any crime statistics that prove beyond any doubt they’re dead wrong. Sigh.

    Looks like it was drawn by someone who’s only vaguely aware of what controllers and consoles look like, as expected.

    It’s an American problem.

    We are right next door and Canada has had less murders in 25 years than America has in one.

    You all hate each other so much you have zero empathy and hair trigger tempers. Add a plethora of guns to the mix and you have a powder keg that never stops going off.

    You have a constant stream of media telling you to be angry all the time, I get it, we get a lot of that crap crossing the border and being online with Americans makes me fucking angry but you have to just walk away from the constant noise. I know because I have to do the same. The internet isn’t an escape anymore, it’s a war zone and I’m so tired of fighting.

    I’m just so fucking tired.
