Head Trip- Under The Influenceby ~shinga

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Comics / Pages

I swear it hadn't even been 24 hours after the VT shooting before Jack Thompson was running his mouth about video game violence. The man needs an X-box controller shoved down his throat, s'all I'm sayin'. Cause seriously, the shooter? Mentally unstable. And unstable is unstable regardless of social influences.

So says me and my soapbox, so nyeh.

Oh and... there's a tiny little cameo from another webcomic in here. It's a black-and-white comic so the colors might be wrong (I just guessed) ... SPOT IT.

EDITED TO NOTE: No, the cameo is not from Penny Arcade or Megatokyo.

Also, I'm aware of the typo in the first panel, I'll fix it when I have time.

EDIT 2: The cameo has been guessed! The waitress in the third panel is Heather from Punch an' Pie

... Maybe games are damaging to me... I keep trying to find the Ctrl, Shift and C buttons in r/l so I can type in the motherlode cheat and never have to work so I can spend all day playing computer games...

Man, I'm cracked...

If video games really effected us like that, then I would be walking around in little shorts trying to catch animals in red and white balls; I would also be shoving little red berries down the throats of dogs to cure paralysis and glaring at rabbits, yelling "Goddammit, evolve! I want an Umbreon already!"

We're studying this in Psych class right now and while I agree that the idea that video games making people turn into crazy gunmen is ludicrous there is some evidence that very violent televison/video games are correlated to aggressiveness in children. However, correlation is not causation and children that are already naturally more aggressive may just be more likely to watch/play more violent games.
And no matter what the studies show blaming video games is never an excuse; they did not MAKE you kill/hurt anyone and YOU are responsible for your actions.

I second your motion! Video games are not the cause! The guy who is complaining about video games being the source of all evil doesn't seem to know (or care) about obesity or the possible fact that it's the parents just abusing their power over those kids. been there, seen the crap, and I'm just glad I didn't start a shooting in middle school.

Since DDR came along, the rate of obese children dropped. (I can't remember the percentage though.) People get to take out their anger on computer generated characters so they wouldn't need to take it out on other people. (Unless there is still some anger left, for example, The Columbine shooting. The guys who started it were better than the policemen simply because of accuracy. (Well, they HAD to destroy the zombies!!!)
