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!
