Watch this video, and then read on.
Really! Really?! This stuff always gets to me, some politician and or political talk show host who has not had exposure to anyone under the socioeconomic standing of "upper middle class" and who then goes on to comment on a video game, a video game she/he has clearly never played. Just to make sure I cite my sources before I continue on this tirade, I got this from a Kotaku article that can be found here. I would also like to add that I have no intention of insulting Glenn Beck in this post, I am simply enraged at all media outlets who comment on video games without ever having seen the games they are talking about.
Firstly, I must give it to Beck. He at least is insulting all media instead of just video games. He cites other forms of media, such as various shows etc. etc. But this so called "defender of America" seems to want to censor all of these things and put us all in a white room with a bible (freedom of speech is silly.)
The thing that really pinches my nerves is the amazing amount of inaccuracy's he throws the viewer's way. For anyone who has played GTAIV, Niko is in fact a former soldier, and a lot of the more touching cut scenes have a strangely anti-war tinge to them. I simply cannot express how obnoxious this Fox-news-esque reporting is. I sometimes wonder if such ultra conservatives realize that, were their proposed plan of mass censorship to go through, they would be out of a job.
I really just cannot express clearly how much/why this angers me so much, but I believe it is quite easy to understand, as I assume anyone who has the misfortune of reading this is a gamer. Sorry if this is not my top quality work, but I am raiding at the same time heh >.>
