Uh-Oh (http://www.media-awareness.ca/eng/med/class/teamedia/vidintro.htm). It used to be "Goldeneye" for me (oh the sweet killing), but now it's this place!!! Head wounds to the enemy aren't nearly as stimulating as gettin' your post on!!! Maybe we should start a support group!

On that linked page they list all of the negative things you learn about behaviour by playing violent video games. Let's parody a bit, shall we? I'll quote the page:Violent video games send the following messages:

- Problems can be resolved quickly and with little personal investment.
- The best way to solve a problem is to eliminate the source of the problem.
- Problems are basically black or white, right or wrong.
- It is acceptable to immerse oneself in the video game's rule-driven reality without questioning the rules.
- Use instinctual, rather than thoughtful, responsible behaviors to react to problems.
- Personal imagination is not an important problem-solving skill. Now, insert your own here:

Damn. I had one window open for MPSIMS, and one for The Pit, I meant to put this in MPSIMS. Ummm, Mods? Could you close this and I'll re-post in MPSIMS? I'll wait for this to close before I go posting it somewhere else. Sorry.

Is it true that the stress of posting in the wrong forum causes hair to turn grey and fall out ? :D
