Description
Parents generally have no idea what kind of computer games their kids play. Yes this is offensive... it's supposed to be. Parents should watch what cumputer games young kids play. They wonder why when 'some' kid gets angry he shoots or knifes his class mates.Related content

First of all, awesome video! You have a great quality of work.
But the video game thing is bs .. with a capitol 'S'.
I started playing Wolfenstine when I was seven, and have been playing "mature" rated games ever since... And I swear, I'm completely normal...
Any parent worth their salt should know not to let their twelve year old play "pornographically violent" games like "manhunt 2" but their are hundreds of great first person shooters out there for them to enjoy. Really.
The ratings on games are mostly BS, my real time strategy games usually get the same ratings as the shooters.. Tell me that's not screwed up?
In my opinion, parents (dare I say it) NEED to play these games. (and maybe they'll even have some fun while doing it)
If you really know the games, and take the time to read about these studies, then they're mostly just plain stupid. And their's plenty of positive studies about gaming as well: better hand-eye coordination, better vision, increased problem solving abilities, heightened IQ, even social skills. (no, I'm not making that up, it's on CNN)
Bottom line: DON'T LET YOU KIDS PLAY THE INTERACTIVE VERSION OF SAW 3. And stop blaming the many for the crimes of the few.
In closing, my list of dos and don't's:
Gears of War: pass on it.
Bioshock: rent and play it first.
HALO: do!
Assassin's Creed: probably.
DOOM: just. say. no.
GRAW2(google it): go for it!
Manhunt 2: Don't Do It Mother F*cker!
Hope you enjoyed!

So true. Children take the world differently than the older ones. That's why it's important to ensure a proper childhood. Otherwise we might get a new generation of violence...

Thanks for your comments.
I did a lot of research into effects of violent computer games on kids and there is substantial proof that violent computer games cause anti-social behavior and effect a child's attention span. In April 1999, two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot thirteen people at the Columbine High School of Colorado before committing suicide. It is speculated that violent video games were a factor in their actions. Both students were seemingly obsessed with games like DOOM.

I wish I could remember the program I watched about video games and violence. They did very indepth studies about the violence and games on adults and kids. It was astounding with the results they found. It does make a differnce. No one is made from the same mold however. You can't demand a higher law for all when only a few are in need of it. I have three childern of my own. I regulate but that is my choice. I see the differnce it makes when they try to play fight games in the back yard. It desensatizes them till they feel like its ok. be mindful. Childern are smart. But very impressionable.

I don't really agree with a so simplistic ending-statement and I don't think that the young players will recognized themselves either - there's always a distance between the game and the life and the young generations will know, better than us, to deal naturaly with that (well, that's what i think ...)- but to scare the parents, well, that's quite well done !
Technicaly, the editing, the makeup, the actor games of the two big guys : congratulations. That's a really good job !

Thanks for your comments. It was made for TV where parents would see it and be shocked... "what kind of awful things are they showing us now. This is not entertaining, it's just gratuitous violence! Oh, I didn't realize my kids do this."

Great stuff!
DP, editing, sound, pacing was all great! I don't agree fully with the message, I do think kids CAN tell the differance, even if fake violence helps de-sensetize them.
but you said very clearly what you wanted to say, in a very entertaining way.
Now that I think about it.. you do realize that you also display violence for entertainment purposes.. right?

Thanks for your comments. It's not intended as entertainment although it was created for an entertainment medium. It was made for TV where parents would see it and be shocked... "what kind of awful things are they showing us now. This is not entertaining, it's just gratuitous violence! Oh, I didn't realize my kids do this."
It probably didn't work as the take out is violence, not anti-violence. It reminds me of a Vietnam war slogan - "fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity".

I do not believe for a second that a perfectly helthy and normal kid can sits down, play a game and become a homicidal maniac.
You have to be the kind of person who has considered things like that before ,in order to take it to heart like that. I do believe that violent videogames effect children negatively but they doesn't turn them into murderers.
Do I condratict myself? No. What I mean is, violent videogames can be like a hot spice. Most people can take it.. It may hurt a bit in your mouth, but some people like that little edge to it. The spice only becomes a hazard if it is added to an already hazardous meal, and in that case, the spice will help make it marginally worse.
Videogames are an input to these horrible results, but blaming them and calling it end of story solves nothing, as the real source, the reason a child turned to a videogame for guicance in how to live rather than his family, remains unsolved.
Face it... we've had homicadal maniacs long before we had violent games.. They became murderers because they watched violent videos. so.. where did the murderers come from before we had videos? Why.. Rock and roll music of course! And before that... do I need to continue?
We keep producing misfits, blaming their hobbies and then move on to produce the next generation of misfit, while finding another hobby to blame, thus, leaving the real problem alone to keep grooming kids into supersoilders.
Most people can play violent games, watch violent films, listen to violent music and eat spicy food without killing their neighbours. that is proof enough that the search for the scapegoat needs to go on.

That's gritty stuff - good job. Not sure I definatly agree that computer game violence leads to real world violence (it's a topic that could be debated for days) however, your message is undeniable and as for the films standard - top notch!! keep it up!
