After reading gamepolitics again, I found this lovely article. Basically MSNBC's morning talk show started talking about a former Panamanian Dictator, and then started talking about someone who was suing the makers of Call of duty for putting in their likeness into the game, or something like that. Then they start complaining and stated "we don't know what is worse, this Panamanian dictator or the makers of call of duty". They then go on to bash the game, say it "damages brains" of kids, and worse.
What kind of retarded assholes are these?
Number 1, Call of Duty is a war themed FPS, far from the kind of games that get attacked on retarded talk shows like this. It's makers are FAR from the kind of people the said Panamanian Dictator are, those kinds of people who kill their own people, help to move millions of drugs throigh the border, ran a country with an iron fist where banks helped to launder money of drug dealers, etc. This idiot is comparing Infinity ward to this?
It's just mind bogglingly stupid.
As for the claim that "games like this damage brains of kids" brought up on the talk show, this is Bullshit used to attack games. There has never been one study that proves that games "damage brains" like this, it's a stupid claim brought up on a talk show, and now that bullshit like this has been spewed, millions of people who believe all they hear will believe this nonsense. It's retarded.
There have been studies claiming that games cause brains to be effected, but they are all funded by the same group who claims they want to prevent entertainment from being violent to save the kids, what does that tell you? Major bias, and engineering involved to the results of such studies.
You have to be brainwashed to say and believe "violent games damage brains". It's a stupid claim. These claims are the kinds of claims brought up by hack researchers and the hack psychologists constantly. There is no evidence what soever to prove them, they just say them, can't prove them, and people believe them because news stations and talk shows like this one keep hosting these poeple and claim they are "media violence experts" when they are really media violence attacking quacks.
What is up with video games being attacked on talk shows?
It's happened since 1997, and it still happens. Talk shows keep on attacking violent games, half the scaremongering and scapegoating is brought up on talk shows, and I wish people would STOP watching crap like this so they would not get the money they are. It's stupid. It's crap like this that keeps reminding me that we need restrictions on what the media can say. If you agree, sign my petition to the Obama Admin to make it punishable by jail time for media to use lies and false truths when attacking games here. You can help stop madness like this before it starts again!
This is the first time in a while nonsense like this has been brought up, and hopefully it's the last in a while, because it's retarded.

My petition to punish newspapers for their anti-video gaming lies is up, Sign it!
I just wrote my first petition at we the people. This petition would petition the Obama Admin to make it illegal for newspapers and pro-censorship groups to make up nonsense surrounding violent games The punishment would be licenses revoked and jail time. I basically said, "the media lies to create a moral panic on violent
video games, it's like yelling fire in a movie theater, why are they
allowed to do this when we aren't?", and cited the most dastardly lie
ever, the "doom will become reality hoax". It's up there, but won't be visible till I get 150 signatures.
I need gamers out there who agree with me to sign the petition. Here is the link:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-it-so-media-outlets-and-pro-censorship-groups-get-jail-time-making-nonsense-attack-video-games/mM4WPXkL
Go there and sign the petition. It's important we do something about this nonsense the media has been spreading. This will help to cut back on crap like the spreadsheet article I've been writing about a lot lately. I hope this works. It probably won't work, but it's worth trying, isn't it? I need 150 signatures soon to make this visible on the We the people site. It's important, gamers.

PROOF that the Adam Lanza "Score Sheet" is FAKE.
Since the Newtown massacre, dozens of news articles have been saying Adam Lanza made a 7 by 4 foot tall spreadsheet with info on previous murders. The articles try to claim it is the work "of a deranged gamer" and that he killed himself to "save points", at the same time, stereotyping gamers as murderers.
I did some more research into the fake Adam Lanza "Deranged gamer score sheet" claim today. Apparently the original article, which is here, said it was a document on his computer. Only problem is that it was found, that he destroyed the Hard drive of his computer, according to this site. How could the spreadsheet document even exist?! A PC with a Hard drive that has failed due to destruction won't start. No way can anyone retrieve info from that Hard Drive. It's impossible. This article proves they did not succeed at retrieving data from his Hard drive, so how could this document be real?
This means that this spreadsheet claim IS fake.
This is PROOF Lupica made up this crap. He is a scumbag. People like him should be rotting in jail for spreading hate speech. It pisses me off. How can a newspaper allow him to spread nonsense like this? How can the government? Since sandy hook, the government has done NOTHING to stop the spread of media fabrications surrounding video games or gamers like the article. It's their responsibility to prevent BS like this. DO something to punish the media for calling gamers murderers and claiming this spreadsheet is real. They won't because they too think gamers are potential school shooters.
I'm demanding it!
And I want your help Connecticut gamers....
I need it.
Talk to your senators about this. Say how you dislike nonsense being spread about violent games like this fake spreadsheet. Say how the article stereotypes gamers as murderers. Say how the spreadsheet document mentioned in the article is fake and that his PC had it's hard drive destroyed so nothing could be recovered from it. The government investigation claims it's real. Complain about that too. It's disgusting. Make them feel your wrath.
I am going through with the plan to petition the government to regulate the media. I plan to go to the whitehouse.gov site and start a petition there. I don't know what it will be, but I will update the blog when I do do this petition. Your signatures will be needed (and appreciated). Stay tuned gamers.

Adam Lanza "Score Sheet" Hoax is the latest of crap BS attacking Games.
My previous 2 articles go into a supposed deranged gamer "Score
Sheet" Adam Lanza made, which detailed the weapon types, kill count and
other things on 500 murders. An Article by a New York Newspaper claimed
the Police found this spreadsheet, and said it was 7 foot by 4 foot, and
had 500 murders on it. Only problem is that for 500 names to fit in a
spreadsheet, it would have to be made in a smaller font than the 9 font
they said it had. Only 420 names can fit on a spreadsheet that is 7 feet
tall in a 9 font.
The original article attacked games and gamers heavily, claiming Adam Lanza was trying to outdo previous shooters done by gamers in a "video game world" when he shot up Newtown. They also claimed killing yourself was preferrable in their stupid BS "Code of a Gamer" to being caught because other "gamers" (they mean school shooters) could take your "points" you were trying to earn while shooting up a school. This whole article stereotyped gamers by trying to say gamers = murderers and is quite disgusting at the least, and hate speech at the worst.
Dozens of newspapers cited this crap and spread the anti-gamer stereotype even further by doing so, each one of the articles citing the original mentions the BS code of a gamer and how gamers live violent fantasies by trying to commit school massacres in their own sick real life version of the games they play. Not a single one of these articles attacked the original for this nonsense, not a single one, and that's telling. You'd think in this day and age, anti-gamer stereotyping would be attacked massively but the gamers just don't care. None of them complained. NONE. I'm the only one complaining, long after the fact, because I recently found out that there are still articles from more recent times citing this crap. And it pisses me off.
But what really pisses me off is the fact that the writer made up a bunk spreadsheet claim, used it to attack gamers and games, and the Government of Connecticut themselves said it was real. It's the latest in a long line of BS claims being used against violent games, and the first fake evidence claim I've seen to be used against gamers themselves. It stereotypes all gamers as adam lanza wannabees with their 500 name spreadsheets and murder fantasies. Most Real gamers don't do crap like this. Most don't obsess over murders, guns, and violence in general. We may play violent games but most enjoy the games for the challenge, story, and atmosphere, NOT the violence. The whole stereotype that gamers are violent sociopaths is being spread by the initial article AND the articles citing it and therefore also by the Connecticut government because they are claiming the spreadsheet is real and it is a product of an anti-gaming article so by default they are spreading the stereotype as well.
Previous fake evidence claims always were about demonizing games themselves by providing "evidence" that shooters killed real people due to the violent games influence. The Doom will become reality hoax, a fake Eric harris website did this, it had a page saying "on april 21'st the fires will light up, doom will become reality", making it look like Doom Influenced Harris. FBI proved it was fake by figuring out the site went up after the massacre, but still hundreds of articles tried to use this to attack Doom. 3 Newspapers conspired after this, to make up a claim stating that a hate site tracking group found a Modified version of doom that Harris used to "train" for the massacre, complete with begging students in the game. Only issue is that the features mentioned could not have been done in doom till 2001 at the earliest (long after Harris was Dead). But people still used this to attack Doom as well in articles citing this. This even got spread to the American Psychological association and was cited in a paper done by them that tried to claim Violent games make people violent. The previous hoax was put in an Amicus Brief by the Eagle forum for Brown Vs EMA to try to sway the Supreme Court with faked evidence. Both of these didn't go as far as to Stereotype gamers. The newest one does, and it's a change for the Anti-gamers, a change that is NOT needed!
If Connecticut is using this evidence to demonize gamers, they have stepped to a new low here. Saying he Spreadsheet is real is one thing, but then citing the article that said it's the work of a "video gamer" by making us all look like Adam Lanza Clones is Disgusting. I plan to Go to Connecticut soon within a month or so. I want to see how far this BS has spread. I will order a Doom Shirt online and go into a Wendies in a Connecticut town (wish it was Newtown but my families day trip to Connecticut is way to far away from there), and see if people give me any dirty looks or crap like that. If they do, it's more evidence Connecticut has become the next Colorado in terms of violent game moral panic related BS.
I don't know what will stop crap like this, other than massively limiting the powers of the media to spread false truths. That's the only thing that will help to me. The problem with that is that neither major party would support this idea. Democrats hate violent games. They would never support something that stops their allies from spreading lies about such games, which fuels the moral panics needed to get their bills voted in. Republicans love the big businesses. The media businesses are HUGE. There is no way they will support it either due to this. So basically this means that crap like this is going to happen and nothing can be done about it. What can be done about it is gamers actually calling out journalists that make up stupid claims like this that demonize gamers. Let them feel your wrath. Gamers aren't doing enough to protest this kind of stuff. When it's obvious it's fake and it makes gamers look bad, post comments on the newspaper article saying you don't like it. This can actually work if enough people did this. Bad comments can make a newspaper look bad. That can get them to have bad reputations. If they were flooded with negative comments over their article they might think twice about spewing the same vile shit again. But the problem is that gamers aren't willing to do this. They are too pre-occupied with games to really care.

Adam Lanza's "Score Sheet" Spreadsheet is a Hoax designed to Stereotype Gamers
For years, news writers have been claiming Adam Lanza created a massive 7 by 4 foot spreadsheet detailing previous killers murders. The article that it first was mentioned in had massive anti-gamer stereotyping in it, claimed it as a "gamer score sheet", mentioned a bullshit "code of a gamer" which says it's preferable to kill yourself then to be caught, and other nonsense.
The police and the state of Connecticut have been massively anti-gaming from the get go, back to the time of Senator Lie-Berman's BS. It's no surprise they are using this against gamers, but I still don't like it. The article stereotypes gamers as murderers, and the police are directly behind the nonsense in that article. Nonsense? Well according to me, this spreadsheet cannot exist.
Why?
The spreadsheet supposedly is 7 feet by 4 feet, written in a 9 font, and contains 500 murders in the columns. I looked at a spreadsheet made in Open Office (identical to Excel in everything but name) and found out that with a 9 font, 1 inch equaled 5 columns. Multiply that by 12 to get columns in a foot and you get 60. Multiply that by 7 (for 7 feet) and you get only 420 columns. This spreadsheet is impossible! It cannot fit 500 names in it. Therefore, it can't be real.
It's BS and the official investigation claims it's real. The state of Connecticut is using faked evidence to attack games again. And they are stereotyping gamers as murders when only 2 out of 211,000,000 gamers (0% of gamers) have killed people in 2012. It's complete BS and it must stop.
It's stupid that Connecticut is doing this. Their Report is a farce. It never mentions why he killed
those people in the school. It only claims he was a gamer and uses that as a stereotype to attack the millions of gamers who haven't killed anyone.I think it's in the best interest that fake investigation like this cease immediately.
