That everyone is so accepting of the fact that the powers that be control Hollywood, dont get me wrong i believe 100percent that they do.

but when someone comes forward, with the same argument, just directed to video games, everyone looks at him like a idiot "Ohh ahah they wouldn't hide messages in video games, are you dumb! only half the world plays them, like who will ever see the message, you kids, and your silly ideas, messages in video games.


SERIOUSLY, all these movie threads going on about hidden messages get stars after flags after replies

then when a very very good argument concerning a video game comes along, everyone tells you to grow up...

well i'm here to say its really bugging me, and those that are bashing people who come to these threads with valuable information are the real kids that need to grow up, it honestly makes me think sometimes these "adults" that are bashing these great ideas are just jealous....

JUST BECAUSE ITS A VIDEO GAME, Doesn't mean we are still dealing with childish things.

You must forgive them, its not their fault.

There, feel better I gave you a flag, have a couple stars on me as well. I agree with you, it's not just hollyweird. They have been conditioning us for years through all entertainment, I don't play any of this trash but just from some of the titles alone it instills fear and that is what TPTB want.

yeah look up the history of video game threads, they get bashed by the first reply, it doesn't matter how much work or effort they put into the thread either

it seems people can't grasp the head around the fact almost 50 percent of the population on earth plays video games.....

its almost like trying to convince someone back in the day the earth is round... its just whats good..

Sad statistic if you are right. Can you source this video game poll?

a lot of video games are anti-nwo btw.

some are pro-nwo (for example: games like 'The Conduit' on the Wii)

really though, video games are better than movies. 95% of the time they have a better storyline, voice acting that is better than real actors acting, and wow... THEY LAST LONGER THAN 90 MINUTES! also you get to play all the action scenes and non actions scenes.

most people who i have found that dislike video games, are the older generation of people who really have no idea wtf they are or how they work so they instantly bash and judge it.

also lets not forget, most video games help the mind, eye site, and coordination, as well as critically thinking on things. maybe 20 years ago they were just kids stuff...but now...video games come out with quality stuff that rivals anything hollywood can do. also the age group in which most people play video games are 18-35 meaning that yes, adults play video games and enjoy them.

Yikes. This is alarming. I honestly don't know anyone in my immediate friends and family circle that play video games. Possibly their kids. I think the real concern is that 63% of Americans need to get off their asses. I wonder what the obesity rate is among the 63%?

that was 2007


2008 jumps 10 percent

Nearly 70 Percent Of U.S. Households Play Video Games in 2008 www.webpronews.com...

i'm guessing we're probably at a 75-80 percent mark now reaching the 2011

Nearly 70 Percent Of U.S. Households Play Video Games




which would mean..... VIDEO GAMES IS HIGH ON THE HIT LIST

if 70 percent, thats 70 PERCENT!!, of all Americans, have their eyes on a video games, just once in a year, its a major concern and its high on their hit list.

also most video games have moral bounds and usually involve saving humanity from either itself, or some invading/apocalyptic force that points out all the faults of humanity.

halo for example: mankinds struggle against an invading alien force.

how it relates to what i said:
humanity is united against a common enemy who is on a genocidal warpath. the aliens represent humanities genocidal warpath, specifically over religious views.

video games are also a great teaching tool involving history.

call of duty for example: ww2, vietnam war, and a mock version of the war in iraq/afghanistan and how it could potentially spark greater problems.

any real time strategy game can fit in this category to on how it teaches history. best examples are the total war series, age of empires series, rise of nations, blitzkrieg, and so on.

people really need to give more respect to this new medium of entertainment and teaching. since we arent getting decent entertainment on tv with moral stand points and obvious point outs to what is right and wrong, and since american education has gone straight down the crapper, video games fill that void.

also video games are known for teaching kids how to read, do math, solve complex puzzles, and provide experiences for EVERYONE that the average person will more then likely never get to experience in their life times.

also responsible people who understand what moderation is, do not sit on their asses all day playing video games. i am among that group who does not sit on my ass all day playing video games and so are most of the people i know. most people who play video games also work, go to school, exercise, spend time with their families, go out to concerts and so on. so dont generalize an entire group of people into being obese fat kids.

i can tell you right now who those obese fat kids are. the ones who play World of Warcraft are fat kids. want to talk about how video games cause problems, discuss mmo's

This is sad. I think everything runs a risk. If you are one to play video games then so be it,
but continuing to do so, knowing your enemy is creating them is just foolish.
