It had been a long time since I'd last watched wrestling. Since december infact.
In the meantime I had played WWF No Mercy to death.
The other day I watched a bit of wrestling with a match between the Rock and Undertaker.
As the Untertaker performed the Irish whip on the Rock I thought that the rock would have to grab the ropes to prevent himself from having move done on him.
When he failed to do so I thought that the undertaker would actually get him (as on No Mercy the game you can't do anything except grab the ropes when you get whipped). Then to my amazement the Rock ducked out of the move and did his own move on the Undertaker and I found myself thinking that the Rock should now cheer to get his "Attitude bar" up!
It took me 5 seconds to realise that real wrestling (if you call it real) isn't exactly the same as the computer game!
I couldn't believe my mind had been influenced like that by a computer game (even if it was a minor thing!).
Maybe Computer games can cause violence in people...

Not really dan, your on about a bit of the violence debate aren't you but, nope they don't affect any way you think, all you think is to win or complete the game.
Or whatever to do next in the game.
I don't see a reason why you would want to do that, it's all Virtual Reality really, in the entertainment world.
You only get tired after along game or you just marvel at the ending. No violence happens!

Games don't alter your personality. The way you play them is more a reflection of your personality.
If you become violent after playing computer games a lot, then you were more than likley violent anyway, and the playing the games has brought it out in you.
The same would happen with videos, watching or playing football, or buying shares in a .com company.

This brings back my "Could their be violence in a perfect world?" speech I did a while back.
Imagination sparks imagination, and I really don't believe that people are born violent. Mental illnesses are different, but simply violent people would not exist if it wasn't for the tension of their life.
I'm not saying games make people violent, because I think games are more of an escape from reality, than to actually think they are reality... although it is nice to think that games are real sometimes.
Saying that mind, there was a suicide not so long ago, when a boy who thought too much about life pinned a lyric sheet for one of Eminems songs to his chest and threw himself in front of a train. I very much doubt that it was Eminem that caused him to commit suicide, but using his lyrics as a suicide note obviously needs some looking into.
And then there are Americans...
I think the main reason for kids and so on running into supermarkets and the like with sawn off shotguns are for two reasons.
1) Bullying at school. No doubt about that one.
2) You can easily obtain a gun in America.
I wonder if Hitler played a lot of computer games as a kid?

Gaming definately affects the way you think if you have enough exposure to it. I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night over Barbie games, so my psyche will remain deeply scarred.
And when you've played Final Fantasy non stop for 30 hours you start to hallucinate, and when you talk about gaming non stop you get comments like 'Headshot!!' appearing in chatrooms.
Everytime I walk down the street nowadays I'm thinking about what if scenarios, like what if I was actually in Half Life, or Resident Evil and a zombie could jump out at me any minute from behind that Post Office counter where I just happen to be buying stamps so that I can post of a PC game that I had just swapped (pause for breath)....forget what I am talking about....er....where was I?

But do you go around shooting people and choking them with piano wire due to too much exposure to games like Hitman?

Only on Sundays, piano wire is very expensive now so I had to cut back a bit, but I find nylon guitar strings at about one pound each do the trick on weekdays. On Saturday I watch the football.
Could you be so kind as to give me your address?
I think I need to make a phone call....
