Thompson needs no introduction to the gaming community. For years he's been vocally condemning games as the cause of youth violence, global warming, hurricanes, bird flu, and teen pregnancy.
Thompson said: "Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you're a hit man or a video gamer."
I am glad I was not the only one to see this. So fucking silly!!!! Merge with the 10GHZ CPU thread now plz!!!Thompson needs no introduction to the gaming community. For years he's been vocally condemning games as the cause of youth violence, global warming, hurricanes, bird flu, and teen pregnancy.

Yes, but the difference is some nutjob on Foxnews being ridiculed for protesting soldiers' funerals won't have any impact on your life. Having violent video games become banned or heavily restricted will (unless you don't play anything violent).PoweredBySoy said:Well, he's free to say what he wants. So the best way to deal with him is to just not pay any attention.
Hundreds of people spawn stupid shit out of their mouths every day in the media. None of which I get worked up over.
Mr. Thompson is right!!!!!, they do go for the head!!!!! OMG!!!!derrick45123 said:I think Mr.Thompson needs to be hit across the face with a big bag of WTF.
Hate crime FTWjunehhan said:Towards the end of the article, he accuses gamers of this. Maybe as gamers, we should file a civil lawsuit against him for slander.
lol, I think they really want you to shoot the shoulders-- it causes them to lose control of their hands, and thus, their weapons. Odds are that shooting an armed criminal in the torso will simply make them mad and cause them to fire back 9th time is a charm?Trimlock said:well .. small correction to something thats really not all that important, but military personel and cops are trained to aim for the torsoe, being the biggest and widest part of the body is also the easiest to hit
not really that big of a deal but going through M4 training over 8 times, it gets stuck ones head

My point is, people that know better (both gamers and non-gamers) have enough sense to just ignore him. The more press and attention he gets, the more likely he'll just continue on his little crusade.
Look man. When you need to take a videogamer down, you must shoot them in the shoulder. They shoot people in the head right? What if (in your perfect world) the videogamer does not fall down immediatly after being shot in the tummy? Uhhh ohhh I hope Mr. Thompson is your lawyer...Trimlock said:shooting for the shoulders is ideal but to say it would only piss them off if you hit them anywhere else is really weird

Khaydarin said:Although mostly true, the act of aiming for the head by soldiers is not unheard when they can help it. There are many military videos of US soldiers in fire fights over in Iraq and Afghanistan where they take headshots.
Anyway, i thought the primary target was the heart, not the head.
