Do you still feel the same way about the kind of controversy the game is intended to generate as you did when the game's development first started--especially in light of the many video game-related violence stories that have made the headlines in the past 12 months or so? </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P> <B>AM:</B> The concept of video game violence is one that I talk about on my blog frequently. I have Google news alerts set to deliver me stories related to "video game violence," "video game murders," and related topics like "golf murder." It is true that there have been more and more headlines related to the topic. But the strange thing is that I've yet to see <I>any</I> increase in actual video game-related violence. It seems to me that someone out there has a vested interest in making video game violence a headline issue, even though it isn't a real issue. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P> Originally I had hoped that the violent content in Bad Day L.A. would spur debate over the use of violence in art, movies, music, and other forms of expression, and help to validate video games as an artistic medium where the human condition can be exploded and explored. These days I can see that there is a hidden agenda behind all the "video game violence" propaganda, and I doubt that any real debate will come out of the release of Bad Day L.A. or any other video game for any time to come. It's likely that the issue will only really go away when today's politicians finally croak out and some kind of cyberpunk, direct brain-stimulation entertainment medium replaces video games. </P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/bad+day+la/" rel="tag">bad day la</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/video+game+violence/" rel="tag">video game violence</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/american+mcgee/" rel="tag">american mcgee</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/game-related+violence/" rel="tag">game-related violence</a></div>http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/baddayla/news.html?sid=6155891&mode=previewsTue, 22 Aug 2006 13:20:42 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/59E06BE0-0107-4B81-9B00-C964033FBEA0/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/lacrimosa/">lacrimosa</a><br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://textism.com/bucket/fib.html" title="http://textism.com/bucket/fib.html">textism.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><DIV align="center"> </DIV></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/fibonacci/" rel="tag">fibonacci</a></div>http://textism.com/bucket/fib.htmlMon, 21 Aug 2006 21:04:06 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/BF5324B5-923A-4B3F-BFED-58D446699318/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/lacrimosa/">lacrimosa</a><br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.deviantart.com/" title="http://www.deviantart.com/">www.deviantart.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/DC4268D6-D2D7-4296-AC31-0DFC4B1A8BAD.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/259FD08C-E87F-4A41-A987-E4FF4B9EAD69.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/FFD27C77-241D-4165-B3FE-B4FFDA26F436.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/2D529107-FF69-4C7D-94BA-3C295A4A2EA8.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/960D98E6-35AF-4FAA-B943-F199E319C384.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/lacrimosa/512/2A405A34-655D-48E2-9478-AEEBD3DE79D6.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/deviantart.com/" rel="tag">deviantart.com</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/deviant/" rel="tag">deviant</a></div>http://www.deviantart.com/Sun, 13 Aug 2006 14:22:35 GMT
