I tend to play strategy and grand strategy games. I wonder if it makes me into Hitler then, after all the people's I have wiped from the face of the earth...

I thionk you were bitten by a radioactive squirrel with rabies.

Me too. And look after years of wargaming, I'm perfectly normal and well-adjusted. I can't imagine what there is to worry about.

Oops. Excuse me. I have a continent to immolate.

I must have killed millions of virtual people by now...perhaps into the billions if you include populations of cities that I've nuked in things like Civilization, DEFCON and the like.

I don't think I've raised my fist in anger in reality for about eighteen years, and I try very hard not to even hold grudges.

Of course, it all depends on the situation, I'd like to think I could give a good account of myself if the moment demanded it, but generally speaking I'm pretty pacifist. I usually talk myself out of any problems I get in.

EDIT: Oh noes! It's Torplexed (he should really have a goatee...)

Nice touch with the ST Terran empire insignia on the hat

@Oberon: he actually turned the hand guard of the sword the correct way out. The Enterprise empire has the handguard turned back so you stab your hand as soon as you hold it

I should commision you one day for our PoN game one of these days

Sorry. I apologize for that shameful display. I don't know what to say.

Back to our regularly scheduled girly sigs.

This probably explains why the Terran Empire was annihilated by the Klingon-Cardassian alliance.

Video games do not a maniacal killer make.
Unless you want to count drone pilots.

It is those rare, thank the maker, individuals with a lot of loose wiring who can't separate fantasy from reality that cause all of these horrendous acts of wanton endangerment.
So, what can be done to fix the problem?

Background checks for the purchase of violent video games?
