[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And video game makers know their games are horribly addictive to teen boys. What else is new. [/quote]

Are you really claiming that video games make kids violent? Go back to the 90s, Tipper Gore. [/quote]
