Grand Theft Ignorance

- By Mr. Beck's own logic, Pong, released in 1972, trained efficient killers in Vietnam.

- "Killing each other is not a natural human instinct." Cain and Abel rings a bell....

- Where'd he get his statistics from? The quote goes, "41.8% of all statistics are made up."

- The fact that he draws parallels from video games and the military is quite funny. The military is trained to kill its enemies.

So it begins where the mainstream media attempts to shoot down Rockstar. The genius behind Rockstar really is that they really embrace all this media scrutiny. The Hot Coffee scandal would ruin most people, but instead, Rockstar has pushed the boundaries even further in GTA4.

The irony of all this is that everyone is calling GTA4 the greatest artistic achievement in video gaming. Too bad, people who haven't played the series have to make knee jerk comments. They won't understand the political satire, the freedom of choice, excellent game mechanics, or the rest of it. You have to appreciate the attention to detail that they have crafted in the latest of the series.

And I'm not going to apologize that this makes me laugh:
