I woulda liked to see that on the minivan you rented for the SS meet

as for the OT, I remember taking a psychology class, where we talked about how our minds react to things. like, if you scream into a pillow, or, lets say you hit a pillow every time you get really angry, then hitting something else, like a wall or your spouse, will be okay for your moral midset when it gets worse. now, I may be forgetting things but I have a nasty headache.
but in the context of video games, I can see how it would keep us from doing these things (I'm 19, so I'm part of the market)
but I can see how it could bolster our confidence in doing these things.

violence aside, I was a so-so guitar player, one might my friend brought over Guitar Hero and we played it until like 6 in the morning. the next day I was a halfway decent guitar player!
that being said, it takes a certain concoction of psychological assets and certain events to translate video games into violence.

that's my thoughts anyways
