Violent video games make me violent

Violent video games make me violent apparently. Why I'm so mad I might just go hop in a car and run over some people, GTA4 style. Other violent things I will admit to having done:

1. Strapped a Post-it note on my crotch which has a smiley faced on it. Wore body armor and fired grenades at people with each explosion resulting in me yelling out "KA-BEWM!" in a Scottish brogue.

2. Airdropping out of a Blackhawk UH-60 then commandeering a tank and blowing up planes on the landing strip. I have then teabagged the corpses. Ferociously.

3. Starting World War III.

4. Lost all my memories only to find out that I'm an ultra-powerful Jedi who was once a dark Sith Lord. I then rounded up a band of miscreants including an assassin protocol droid and traipsed across the universe killing all those who stood in my way.

Oh my crimes against other humans are epic and I should be locked away or given Ritalin. Or both, whatever. Kids are dumb and violent who need strong parental controls. Less coddlin', more paddlin', plus there are ratings on the game so pay attention.

What violent crimes have you committed? Post 'em in the comments!

Thinning the herd

Well, I didn't think it would happen but even with a new EQ2 expansion coming out I don't feel like playing it all that much. Most of my friends don't play anymore, the guild I rolled with is gone, and raiding once a week is often difficult to do because of work and life. Is.. is this what they call having a real life? I don't like it daddy, make it stop!

However, TF2 and some PS3 gaming? Oh gotta make time for that. And quite possibly the Knights of the Old Republic MMO coming out sometime later. However, if they don't allow me to be a protocol droid who likes to dismember Jedi then I will have no part of it.

Wipeout HD on the PS3

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Wipeout HD. It is cheap ($20), it looks gorgeous, you can arm vehicles with weapons and then destroy your opponents, all while going about 400 km/h around some futuristic tracks which twist and bend like a roller coaster. That speed rating is for the SLOWEST vehicles and difficulty too.

The only downside is that my reflexes are not what they once were so actually winning often becomes getting just the right power up at just the right time to win.

I mean damn look at this!
