Pixel Dust

littlecomputerpeople.gifWhen Two Tribes Go to War, an intensive look at controversial videogames from Death Race to Grand Theft Auto (via Kris). This stuff is so alien to me. Even in my prime videogaming years, I never gravitated toward the violent ones. My idea of excitement was staring at the Little Computer People on the C64, wondering if the guy will feed his dog or play the piano. So pathetic.

The progress and speed of change in technology and video games is stunning -- the last 10 years has changed everything.

I think people in their 30's just want to get back PONG.

The bigger question is WHY do some people gravitate toward violence instead of "whether or not the guy will feed his dog?" Your response is better!

Please give my blog a look if you have time. I would like to link your blog to mine if you do not mind.
