Watched all of it. I feel bad for the old, scared people who are too busy decrying that video games are bad (think of the CHILDREN!!) to listen to what Tim Ingham (spelling?) had to say. I think they're struggling for relevance in a field that they don't understand, which has mostly left them behind.

0:00. I'm not wasting my time with these kinds of people.

I think there's a debate to be had about video games and violence, I don't think daytime TV is the place for it if you want to get anything constructive out of it. I think my main problem with 'shows like these' is that there's no commitment to discussion, but that the topic is there because it's the trendy thing to discuss, the reason it's on the show at all is that it gets viewers. While I'm making sweeping generalisations I'd add that it lets the presenters, panellists and viewers exert their self-righteousness and throw stones at the bogeyman that's warping the fragile minds of the nation's youth (as if that's the only cause. HELLO P&C!).

I came in all ready to say "after the fifth death, fourth if two or more were via grenade launcher or knife."

Took the wind from my sails. I'll have to watch when I get home.

Pseudo-discussions like this have been on TV her in Germany for almost a decade now. You can't help it. The elder generations will always have a certain disconnection with the younger generations and fail to see their doings as worthwhile. It's a conflict as old as civilization itself.

"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."
— Socrates (469 BC–399 BC)

In the US retailers are fairly strict about T+ enforcement. I've seen people get carded for M rated games. This is all comedic to me...the grandstanding of an uninformed generation.

Hilarious. You guys get some great sketch comedy over there.

No rage. How far did the same old people get in chasing off D&D or heavy metal? They sure did a good job putting the brakes on Iron Maiden, who have had to suffer with only 100 million worldwide album sales.

Yep.

Not rage though. Just a general unwillingness to listen to any more complete ignorance.

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE PREVENTING CHILDREN FROM ENTERING THEIR HOMES!!!!

OMG ftw!
She is wearing hooker boots, don't listen to her!

Ignorance in such a public display and so unbiased! I feel more contempt than rage. If people choose to remain uninformed so be it. In the end, they're just talking to hear themselves talk and nothing will come of it. If you can't take the time to talk to your kids about games, learn how to lock a console, and check in to see what they're doing...you're failing as a parent. Today, it's always someone else's fault...

Watched all, out of twisted curiosity. Fear is easier than understanding, and the human being is lazy by nature (cliche double whammy). In this discussion, why isn't the first question always "why, as a parent, would you allow your children to access violent content, independent of the medium involved?"

It seems everybody (yes, I know it's not everybody) is always trying to have their kids grow on autopilot. What about the part where parents actually get involved in what their kids are doing? Usually it's that bit that actually keeps them out of harms way and close to family.

Oh, and @hooker-like lady: the kids became aggressive after playing violent games for many hours because they were doing the same crap for so long. Heck, when I work many hours, sure as rain, I get pissed off. OMG, work makes people violent! Let's ban work!

That was basically a lynching. 3 on 1 isn't a discussion. Stupidity is stupid.
