Tonight With Trevor Mcdonald: Video Game Violence

[Mark]

Well, I'd like to point out to all UK viewers that this program is on at 8 o clock.

It should be interesting....I expect to see GTA, Doom 3 and Manhunt.

 

[skysnapper]

damn its on the same time as Eastenders

Exactly what I was thinking.

I expect to see GTA, Doom 3 and Manhunt.

I'm watching it now and guess what the three titles were that they showed in the opening credits.

 

[Mark]

People fail to see irony.

If someone was already going to kill, they would. Games like GTA mean that people don't need to go on the streets and steal a car for the experience-and in most cases on GTA, they'll get caught by the Police.

By God-Halo trained the Washington Sniper? What the hell?

Aliens, that you shoot with lasers.

 

[Steve-O]

balls, Im missing it

 

[Steve-O]

LOL, Blame the Video Games

 

[bringoutthegimp]

haha dumb show

 

[jlebrech]

shoot him.

 

[Radio]

:rolleyes: Same format as always. Video games=evil.

While I don't believe that video games cause people to go on a mad killing spree I do believe that parents need to take more responsability with what they buy for their kids. I know that a lot of the members here will be under 18 so you'll probably disagree with what I'm about to say but clearly an 18 certificate game is going to be unsuitable for a 12 year old, it's not a new concept. Instead of whining to the video games companies why they don't pay more attention to what they are spending their wages on.

Yeah I thought they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one. Probably because they couldn't think of more than three games that have dubious enough content to pad out the show with.

i wish i was on your side of the atlantic to see this

There was one sentace which i found funny...

it said
"after a week playing GTA they took there dads rifle and went outside to the highway"

I know which sentance i would concentrate on and it has noting to do with GTA.

 

[kuriboh]

me to. I have to say though that it is the same thing as a 12 year old watching a rated R movie with gore and killing. the only difference is they are in control.

 

[pAiN]

Halo trained the sniper??? Dear God. I know personally on GTA, i like to hide up in the parking garage and pick people off with the sniper rifle so it seems that would be a better game than Halo. Oh well, Video game violence has been an issue since Night Trap and MK1 and will never go away.

 

[Mark]

As Finty says, the sniper had US miltary training with Sniper Rifles.

Oh geez, remember the fuss over Street Fighter II being too violent? Doesn't that sound lame now.

 

[pAiN]

its just an excuse thats used to not make the parents of these kids look bad.

 

[craigix]

Tonight With Trevor Mcdonald is a sensationalist piece of shit.

Trevor was never a TV whore but lately it seems he will do any old arse if hes paid enough, even things in which he looks and sounds cluelessly out of place.

I suppose we will be seeing him in home loan adverts soon too, the twat.

Yeah i nticed that too, she was blaming the video game i was thinking you have 2 rifles and you think video games are the danger?

I also hate the way all these programs fail to compare with other forms of media.

Does anyone notice how little it has to do with Trevor McDonald, as he just says "And thank you for watching" basically?
