Complete Morons on twitter/the News blame Charleston Shooting on Games!

It only gets worse. Not even a week after the stupid censors bash Doom 4, we get this nonsense. Looking on twitter I saw several posters blaming the Charleston Shooting (which was PROVEN to be caused by Racism :  The shooter was demented and  blamed Blacks for Rape crimes and wanted to "protect women" by killing blacks), on video games!

It doesn't get any more disgusting then this...

These idiots are complete morons. Number 1 the complete idiot who said that portraying mass murder as "Fun" in video games and TV is the cause for the shooting, is a complete idiot. Most Video Games don't portray mass murder as "fun". That's a complete bullshit statement. The only kind of games that do this are extreme "ultra-violent" shooters like GTA. They make a very small % of games, unlike what he says.

And the idiot who sayed "the shooter probably thought he was playing video games" is another fucking idiot too. I already discussed the crime. The shooter didn't think he was in a video game, that's stupid. That excuse has to stop. It's idiotic.

Witchmobs like this annoy me. Whenever some group of idiots start immediately blaming a shooting on video games without even knowing if the shooter played them, it pisses me off. That's exactly what's happening here. It's pathetic. I wish people would stop doing crap like this. We already know why the shooting happened. It had nothing to do with video games, PERIOD.

Edit:

It seems the idiocy has spread to the O'reilly factor. Bill O'reilly is claiming that video games are the problem, and even though violent games are not harmfull, "people shouldn't play them". HELLO, it's OUR choice whether we want to play violent games. Not yours, O'reilly. So stop using a tragedy to spread an agenda against violent games when the killer was a racist fanatic and games didn't have anything to do with it!

EDIT 2 :

Look at this moron:

Video games don't teach people how to kill. That's bullshit made up by the hack psychologists and disproven here.. You're an idiot. You don't lose a grip on what's real and not real by playing violent games. Anyone who says that is a propaganda source, plain and simple.

Edit 3:

Another idiotic person on twitter posting crap about violent games..

You're an idiot. "Navel gazing social media", "violent shooting video games".  No site even said WHAT KIND OF GAMES HE PLAYED, yet you want to blame FPS games. Video games didn't make him violent, the paranoid belief that blacks were raping American women did!

EDIT 4:

It looks like we have yet another fucking violent video games moral panic on our hands. Who knows what will happen because of this. Will Obama try to get them banned. They will certainly try something to attack "violent" games even though the motive has nothing to do with that. It's pathetic...


FYI : People in SJW circles are already using this to post fake bullcrap that says the shooter was a #gamergate member and are using this to blame Deus : EX Mankind : Divided (and maybe the next DOOM game too). It's complete bullshit. If you ever hear the claim that shooter wanted to play either of these games, it's not remotely trustworthy...

Complete idiots on Twitter bash the upcoming Doom Game...

Lo and behold, the idiots attacking good games just because their violent have not learned to shut the hell up.

This all started during E3. The new Doom Game was shown off at E3. Now mind you, this is a pretty Violent Doom Game, much more violent than previous ones even, but still, all the violence in it was being done to Demons. NOT humans!  Just like all the Doom games before it. This didn't stop complete idiots like the stupid Video Game Critic below (that everyone should know about) from bashing doom because you Chainsaw Demons... DEMONS...

He is basically complaining that Doom Should be Banned. In a previous tweet he bitched and moaned about people at E3 cheering when the chainsaw in the next Doom game was being shown off. He has no credibility. He's a complete moron with an agenda and it shows. Within seconds, the entirety of gamers on twitter immediately attacked him (and rightfully so, he was whining about a game where you chainsaw demons?)
 

But the bullshit doesn't end there...

Lo and behold this wannabe gamer starts his own "activist campaign" to get rid of Doom. Just look at this...

 He starts bitching about the violence in the game, and comparies it incorrectly to the upcoming ultra violent game "Hatred". Which is bullshit, because at least doom has evil monsters you are fighting, not innocent people like in Hatred. But to him the demons were not demons because he cannot tell the difference between people and demons?

It's complete bullshit people. We'll see if this spirals out of control and gets more people to want to ban Doom. I hope not. The previous Doom Games have all become targets due to Bullshit Hoaxes being spread about them after Columbine. This is a bad trend if the new one also starts getting bullshit like this said about it..

I will update you people more to show how this moral panic in progress, progresses. As of now it hasn't spiraled out of control, but all it takes is one self proclaimed video game violence/sexism bashing video game critic to make that happen...




EDIT: He (the first poster whining about doom 4) also tweeted this but it got deleted apparently...

Columbine Doom hoax search results and Fake Doom BS

Today, after reading the articles I posted on the Doom Hoaxes, where Doom was blamed for columbine using fake evidence, fabricated in 1999, I decided to write another article about video game related nonsense and how my efforts to debunk such hoaxes have really helped to show how idiotic the doom moral panic was.

The first such hoax "Doom will become reality", supposedly was said on Eric Harris's website but several sites proved that it was fake at the time. But their proof did not get far, because many more sites said this was proof that Doom did in fact cause columbine, all attacking violent video games at the same time. At the time, any and all search results for the phrase lead to sites attacking violent games. My debunking it helped to change that however. Go search for "Doom Will become reality" on google.com and you get this:

My blogs and videos debunking this nonsense are now at the top of the results. Surprise! Saying that the Doom will become reality hoax is just that, over and over again can do wonders to the search results. My stuff has seriously trumped all the anti-gamer nonsense BS sites saying Doom was the cause for the massacre.
But this thing doesn't end here.

Another much more complex hoax involved 3 articles from 3 newspaper saying a modified version of doom was found on Eric Harris's website/or computer. (it differs per source, weirdly). The modified version of doom had begging students saying a certain phrase and many features doom could not do in 1999. At the time searching for some phrase in the articles themselves led to tons of sites all citing the claims like they were a fact. That is still true. But if you google "modified version of doom columbine" you get the most popular article and my debunkings right below it. Not as successful as the last debunking, but close.

Now if you googled the phrase "Doom caused columbine" before I mentioned the phrase over and over again with various articles here, you would get tons of sites saying that Doom did in fact cause columbine. Now this is what you get:

After the wikipedia article, my debunking is right below! I never expected the debunking to get so high in the search results. I expected that some people would read it and then stow it away, and at best I would get mentioned on some gaming forum. I wasn't expecting my results on the Doom will become reality hoax to include my articles first. With all the sites (100's) saying that this hoax is proof doom did cause columbine, you'd expect my post to be much lower, but no.

But before we go, I want to do another Fake Doom BS debunking right here. Not quite as popular in the game attacking sites as the 2 last ones but still mentioned from time to time is the following long paragraph written by Harris himself:

"everyone should be put to a test. an ULTIMATE DOOM test, see who can survive in an environment using only smarts and military skills. put them in a doom world. no authority, no refuge, no BS copout excuses. If you cant figure out the area of a triangle or what "cation" means, you die! if you cant take down a demon w/ a chainsaw or kill a hell prince w/ a shotgun, you die! fucking snotty rich fuckheads [Censored by J.C.Sheriff Office] who rely on others or on sympathy or $ to get them through life should be put to this challenge. plus it would get rid of all the fat, retarded, crippled, stupid, dumb, ignorant, worthless people of this world. no one is worthy of this planet only me and who ever I choose. there is just no respect for anything higher than your fucking boss or parent. everyone should be shot out into space and only the people I saw should be left behind. 4/12/98"

This phrase is clearly talking about doom multi player, not actually putting people in a school shooting situation. Any gamer can see that. But the people who never played video games would see it a different way, because of the way the articles using this against doom quoted it. The "ultimate doom challenge" is clearly just multi player. Not a school shooting. After that he goes into a total psychotic attack against people who are rich and says they should be killed. But this is used to blame doom constantly. How do we debunk this?

We look for other references to doom in his writings. In most of them Doom is mentioned with other things such as war, with no context to what they are actually describing, such as "this will be like doom, ww2, the korean war rolled into one". What is he talking about. You can't tell. There is no way to know, so how to the anti-gamers know this is about the massacre? They don't. They just want others to believe it is.  In all of his writings there is plenty of evidence that Doom was NOT influencing him to commit the massacre.. this following quote proves it:

"someones bound to say "what were they thinking?" when we go NBK or when we were planning it, so this what I am thinking. "I have a goal to destroy as much as possible so I must not be sidetracked by my feelings of sympathy, mercy, or any of that, so I will force myself to believe that everyone is just another monster from Doom like FH or FS or demons, so It's either me or them. I have to turn off my feelings." keep this is mind, I want to burn the world, I want to kill everyone except about 5 people, who I will name later, so If you are reading this you are lucky you escaped my rampage because I wanted to kill you. It will be very tricky getting all of our supplies, explosives, weaponry, ammo, and then hiding it all and then actually planting it all so we can achieve our goal. but if we get busted any time, we start killing then and there, just like Wilks from the AlIENS books, I aint going out without a fight."

Notice how he said he would have to "force himself to believe all students are doom monsters" to turn off his feelings during the massacre? No way is this  something doom did. Look for more references to Doom in the writings I linked and you get one reference to WW2, and one to the doom shotgun, the ultimate doom test and this. That's it.

Speaking of ww2. Why is the obvious fact and motive that Harris was a Nazi fuckhead completely looked over? Do I have to quote the exact quote where he worships hitler/Nazi's. now. But search for it and you will find more info on his obssession with Nazi's. Why was this totally ignored by all the groups that attacked doom? It's all over his writings, Racial Slurs, references to Nazi's, swastika's, plane as day to see. Yet this was totally ignored and Doom was blamed instead? WTF!

In any ordinary mind this would be much more likely motive than being "brainwashed by doom". But people in Colorado started blaming doom right and left till it was mass hysteria.  It got so out of control that even I was threatened by some dickhead on a forum over it (long story).  This is just more proof that the people blaming doom, skipping over his hatred of people/love for Nazi's, are complete idiots. His multiplayer "Ultimate Doom test" was used like the "Doom will become reality hoax" to demonize Doom constantly in  various attack sites, even to this day. It's rediculous.
At least I can try to stop this nonsense, and I think I have been relatively sucessful.



Damian Ichabod 1 Idiots 0!

Denverpost.com 1999 death threats and the coverup Revealed.

So I told you in an old post how my anti-video game censorship crusade began. I was brutally threatened by an Internet troll on a denverpost message board after rudely responding to him after he did the same to me after I posted how I hated how denverpost and other news sites were making up utter BS about Doom's fake connection to columbine.  It's a long story but what isn't is there culpability in allowing someone to threaten my life and how nothing has been done about it since.

The troll swore, used sick sexual innuendo, threatened violence AND rape to anyone who said something trying to defend violent games on the forum.  And for 3 months the troll was allowed to do that, threaten to crack my skull in and much worse. The final post involved the troll saying "I have enough evidence to prove gamers get violent" or something like that, something very lawyer like.  It was almost like the troll was a lawyer and was trying to get evidence that gamers are violent through  a warped method of insulting gamers constantly till they eventually would threaten him back and writing down the responses.  I have no proof this troll was a lawyer, except for this and 1 other thing, the persons email address was justicemail.com, email for the law community.

Eventually the site was shut down, the entire forum service actually, and the entire email service was also shut down. The account for justicemail.com that this person used does not exist and this image taken with my web browser proves it.

It seems this whole thing was being covered up. First the post that said "I have enough evidence" was taken down suddenly, no more than 20 minutes later. Then the entire forum service goes down and the email service too? Too weird to be a coincidence to me. But what really proves this is that actual evidence that proves the identity of this troll (probably a fake identity) was found by me recently, and it was taken down too!

For years I have been using reverse email lookups to find the Identity of the troll who threatened me. Almost all of them were scams and the ones that weren't gave me no matches.  I kept looking for more for 12 years or so and until this year I didn't find any clue who this idiot troll was. I tried spokeo.com and It gave me a match to a person in San Diego but nothing else. That was a start... But the more I tried the more I failed to find out more. Dozens of google searches of the email led to nothing, I was hoping to find an account of the troll threatening gamers on some other message board lazy enough to use the same email but no such luck. Until this year. Google searching "kissle@justicemail.com" lead me to this result which I took a screenshot of because I was afraid it would be taken down:

So the troll in question was "Mike Pope" from Thailand? Somehow I think this is a pseudonym because Mike Pope doesn't sound like a name from a person living in Thailand to me. It sounds fake. It's besides the point because this result was taken down by google mysteriously.  Another cover up? I don't know but if you google "kissle@justicemail.com" you don't get this result anymore. It's a coverup, I tell you.

So denverpost allows this loser to threaten my life, threaten to crack my skull open, threaten to "fuck me up the ass" and worse and nothing was done to ban this user, what so ever, no action taken whatsoever. Their scumbags, I tell you! They first publish an article making up nonsense about doom after Columbine saying Eric Harris made a version of Doom to train on that has features Doom Cannot do, then they do this? It pisses me off, that this idiot and the idiots in this fake newspaper get away with this.

MA tries to start another violent game Witchhunt!!!

Well it seems the idiots attacking violent games never stop, do they? On the heels of the idiotic study into so called violent games "effects" on kids  set up by Senator Jay Rockefeller, We have my state trying to start the same old nonsense again. A politician in MA has decided that it would be a good
idea to start a biased study to study the effect of games on kids again.... Right after MA stalled their bill aiming to restrict violent games so they could not be bought by adults. These "studies" popping up everywhere get to me. Because just like all of the other game attacking studies, these
are bound to be biased, and engineered to show a certain result. A lot of other studies are funded by the Center for Successful parenting, a group that has this in their mission statement "We aim to motivate leaders of <insert tons of industries here> to change culture so violence is not shown to
children" basically meaning "ban violent games", because changing the culture of violence can only done by removing the violence.

The current studies by Rockefeller and this idiot in MA are troubling. The Rockefeller study, has language in it's text that tells that the studies can find whatever results they want, because it asks if the violent games have any "new" effects on kids. After the brief but stupid moral panic
surrounding child molestation and it's nonexistent link to violent game playing, spurred by that
Preacher Boykin and Ralph Nader, I wondered if they could use the vague language in the study to find that violent game playing leads to child molestation and pedophilia.  To see what the Study in MA does I  looked at the text of the study closely...

I got the text from this source:




"That a special commission is hereby established for the purposes of making an investigation and study relative to video games as  a form of media and as a training tool. Within that context, the commission will focus upon video games that allow the player to  simulate severe battery or killing (“killing games”). The commission will study, investigate, and provide conclusions regarding:  (i) the social benefits, impacts and implications of video games in general and killing games in particular, comparing the impact  on youth with the impact on adults; (ii) the use of video games as military training devices, educational devices, and other training  applications; (iii) how video games compare to other forms of media in terms of their ability to recreate a realistic experience, to  desensitize the consumer, to train the consumer to accept certain ideas, and to teach the player new skills or capabilities; (iv) the addictive quality of video games; (v) any connection, including any exposure t or imitation of behaviors exhibited in video games,  between killing games and actual violence, including rampage killings that have taken place since 1990; (vi) the reasoning and  conclusions drawn in the majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, as well as  other freedom of speech considerations relative to the regulation of video games, in light of the conclusions drawn by the commission  pursuant to (i)-(v); and (vii) the anticipated cost of any proposals to regulate video games. The commission members will play or
observe killing games directly during the course of their investigation."

So this study wants to see if games are an effective training tool. We've been told BS in the newspapers from the hack psychologists that violent games are being used in the military to break down the inhibition to kill. But this blog, written by a military trained
soldier debunks the whole thing. I quote:

"I'm not aware of any military unit that uses video games to break down the inhibition to kill. In fact, this breakdown really only occurs in one place:
Boot camp.

Boot camp doesn't even specifically concentrate on the inhibition to kill. Rather, they follow the CIA training manual for brainwashing almost point  by point, in order to instill in recruits 'instant and willing obedience to lawful orders' - that is what they do. The assumption, of course, is
that these orders may be to kill; But they could be to drag a wounded child to safety, or set up a bunker in 100 degree weather, or pull night watch  after being up for a 36-hour convoy.

The inhibition to kill can only be broken down by, wait for it . . . killing.

When we were parked on the outskirts of Fallujah and watched as night fell and the Iraqis came out onto the streets, even though our orders were much  more liberal than the current Rules of Engagement, there was still hesitation. And this after our convoy had turned around after taking fire at the  front.

When we got ambushed, it was actually unfortunate that my extensive game-playing hadn't prepared me at all for the sheer confusion, excitement, fear  and horror of those moments.

If you think America's Army is anything but a half-decent game and a lame recruitment tool, you've never run an obstacle course, or been  'quarterdecked'
by a DI.

If you think Halo can help you learn how to shoot, you've never tried to get ten in the black from 500 yards with the piece-of-shit M16A2, with your  elbows getting ground by sand trapped in your cammies and the sun causing sweat on your forehead which drips into your eyes.

Video games, or things resembling games, are being used in some areas of the military.

During training ops higher ups often pit virtual countries against each other, but these are basically pushing pieces, simulating battles and  using the troops to set up comm architectures and run test flights.

Some first-person-shooters are used by infantry troops to plan out tactics - but these are mostly for higher-level planners; Games will never,  ever take the place of constant, demanding, mind-numbing repetition. Proper execution of maneuvers rely on muscle memory; Drill, in boot camp,
forms the introduction to this doctrine.

Rainbow Six may let you breach and clear, but this doesn't translate to the motions or related actions: Which direction do you break? What  targets are you responsible for? Who can declare a room 'all clear'? Did you check your overhead?

Flight simulators seem like video games, though I'm sure those responsible for both maintaining and operating them see them more as necessary steps  to save billions of dollars worth of equipment from inexperienced hands.

If you want to know how to make a person prone to suggestion to kill, look here.

If anyone would like my breakdown of how boot camp uses the steps for Interrogation of Resistant Sources, just let me know.

The only way, then, I would even consider the argument that violent media makes for violent children is if it could be proven  that those children who have been violent were denied any sort of balancing social forces. That is, if you took a child and locked him in a room
and forced violent images day in and day out and brought them to the level of an infant and replaced their language with one of your own devising  and had them progress their violence on increasingly complex organisms -- THEN, and only then, would I be willing to entertain that the media was
a factor. And even then, it was not the cause. The cause was you, the sick fuck that provided no guidance other than a violent outlet.

That's how fascists work. They replace free social exchange with their ideas, they re-form language to their own ends  ("Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself . . . "),  they make natural human sexuality taboo, they declare the War on Some Drugs, they attempt to regulate and control every aspect of human growth and exploration. They embrace stagnation of society and the mind."

The fact that the studies author is bringing this nonsense claim up to the Government is proof that the the government is trying to ban violent games again, IMHO. It must be stopped before it gets to the 90 day phase (see below), or we could have a MA ban on violent games to adults. Not to kids.


"The commission shall consist of: the Governor or a designee, who shall chair the commission; a member of the general  public appointed by the Governor; 3 members of the Senate, chosen by the Senate President, 1 of which is a member of  the minority party; 3 members of the House of Representatives that are chosen by the Speaker, 1 of which is a member of
the minority party; 1 constitutional lawyer who specializes in freedom of speech; the Massachusetts Attorney General or a  designee; 2 psychologists or psychiatrists, at least one of whom is a mental health professional specializing in addiction;  the Secretary of Education or a designee who is an educator; a member of the military who engages in military training;  a representative of the video game industry; and a representative of the law enforcement community."

At least one of the people involved has a bias against violent games if I am right. They mention "a member of the military who specializes in military training". This fits one of the Hack Psychologist to a tee. Another Hack Psychologist could be in it too if I am right, "1 constitutional lawyer who specializes in freedom of speech" sounds a lot like a retired anti-game activist everyone
in the community hates to me. They also mention how they need to study the impact of the proposed regulation on free speech, probably as a cheap way to see how they can make a constitutional law that causes violent games to not get in the hands of adults, such as the Oklahoma tax on 1% of all property every time someone in OK played, stored, bought and otherwise consumed violent games.

They also want to study how violent games have caused mass killings like columbine (I assume). Whats to stop them from not believing the nonsense spread by the idiots in the government, the media, and unknown parties that says violent games influenced Harris/Klebold/
Lanza, etc? Such things include the Doom will become reality hoax and similar "tidbits of information" that seem to make it look like mass killers played violent games but this info is badly written at the least, and is outright lies at the worse.

"Legislative appointments shall be made not later than 30 days after the effective date of this resolve. The chairperson shall  meet with the full commission not later than 90 days after the effective date of this resolve. Members shall not receive  compensation for their services but may receive reimbursement for the reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out their  responsibilities as members of the commission. Upon appropriation of sufficient funds, the commission shall engage professional "advisors as needed to accomplish its purposes.

"Not later than 270 days after the effective date of this resolve, the commission shall report to the general court the result  of its investigation and study and its recommendations, if any, together with drafts of legislation necessary to carry its  recommendations into effect by filing the same with the clerk of the House of Representatives. "

We have 90 days to stop this, gamers.  I want every gamer in MA to write their Representatives, using this message:

"Dear Representitive.

I am your constituent, and I am alarmed by the  study our senate has started dealing with video game violence and the whole idea that the effects on kids and how violent games are a training tool for the military needs to be studied. For years studies like this have been done and many are methodologically flawed, using cheap ways to say violent games lead to  violent behavior or aggression, such as subjecting the violent game playing kids to electroshock therapy. It's very important to note that any evidence that violent games cause real life crimes has to be doubted. There are many hoaxes going around and media fabrications that make it seem like violent games cause real life violence. If you do a google.com search for the "doom will become reality hoax" you will find a blog debunking a
claim that was used to "prove" eric Harris was influenced by the video game Doom while shooting up the school. This claim is a hoax, a fake website said "doom will become reality" and the FBI proved the site was not Eric Harris's real site. Also many claims are spreading that violent games break down the inhibition to kill. These are false claims spread by 2 anti-gaming activists in the 90's and the below linked site debunks them totally. The site is a blog ran by a Soldier in IRAQ, telling how violent games could never break down the inhibition to kill, and only Boot Camp obedience training does this.....

http://designsynthesis.blogspot.com/2005/03/training-our-kids-to-kill.html

I find it disgusting that the government would spend millions of tax dollar money on a bill that would
have restricted violent games to minors so adults could not buy them. There is no reason to study
the false connections between violent games and Real life killings, all invented by the media and anti-gaming groups. The hoax mentioned above was used as "evidence" against  the industry in an Anti-Gaming Group's Amicus Brief.  This group is from the Midwest, they are called the Eagle Forum, and they are pro-religious zealots who think violent games should be banned to adults and gamers should all be dealt with somehow.  They were trying to fool the Justices in the SCOTUS to think this evidence is real and not a hoax. One of the people championing the break down to kill "theory" is a zealot former lawyer who once said on the gamepolitics forums that all gamers need to get the Death Penalty. If you plan to study these things, you must be sure NOT to be swayed by these types. For they tried to sway the EMA vs BROWN Case and others..... I just don't think this study is a good thing because it looks like people like these kinds of people are on the group conducting the study.

I don't like the idea of fake evidence being used to sway any people to believe this nonsense is real.
A study like this is almost impossible to be Not swayed by people like this. I am against
it for this reason, and I hope you are too."


Send this message to your Representatives, gamers. Maybe we can get them to stop this now... If it doesn't work, I urge people to resend it over and over again, till they stop the study. Flood their Inboxes over and over again, till their network slows down, if they
fail to listen. It's important to stop nonsense like this.

Idiots online DARE to blame the Boston Bombing on VIOLENT GAMES!!!! And threaten to put gamers on terror list..

 So.... I've been on Twitter following the Boston Bombing since it first happened on April 15'th. I suspected someone would try  to blame it on violent games. A preacher from Worcester did, but that doesn't nearly piss me off as much as this......   Some idiot anti-gamer set up this article DARING to link violent games to an OBVIOUS Terror attack where the perps are Radical Islamic Terrorists, not even gamers and you get a bunch of people trying to link Violent games to the Bombing, Gamers and video game Manufacturers to Terrorists, and worse.... Here is a text link to the comments in question...

 http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/2013/04/24/should-something-be-done-about-shock-video-games-like-the-boston-marathon-terror-on-the-streets-and-kindergarten-killer/


Notice how all of them IMMEDIATELY assumed the "terror on the streets" game was being sold to kids despite proof that the Industry does not sell violent games to kids...

"To answer your question, Greta, yes. Something should be done about these violent games. They are a form of mind control as they 'train' a brain. A child's brain is not fully developed until his or her early 20s. If they choose to play such games after age 25, then let them choose to do so then. The First Amendment, as I understand it, protects a person's right to speak freely, even assemble publicly, when done in a peaceable manner. Somewhere along the line manufacturers inserted themselves into the First Amendment, and some profiteering attorney supported them. I don't recall there being a statement that anyone has a right to manufacture demoralizing and brain training products and sell them to young persons. Has anyone noticed how lax so many parents today are? The children who run a house? Grandparents are raising their grandchildren because mom or dad don't want to be bothered--and these dear people are tired; they may let things slip because they aren't aware of what the kids are doing, or perhaps they do know, but need some rest, so they allow it. Let these game makers (and abundantly violent TV and film producers) create their games for their own pleasure. They can sit in their lounge chairs and play/view their lives away. We need to make them feel our opinions of their work in their pocketbooks."

This is more BS that claims violent games "train kids" when this blog post completely debunks the claim.. There is also the BS claim that kids are running households. This idiot blames THAT on violent games? There is only ONE thing that can cause THAT... BAD PARENTING... Simple as that... This is a BS excuse to support more BS that shows up later in the article...  He also claims that some lawyer and the industry have perverted the 1st amendment/free speech... That's also BS coming from an anti-gamer idiot..  This shit is being used to attack VIOLENT games after the Boston Bombings?

"It's not the game makers,it's the sickos that buy these games and the sicko parents who buy these type of games for their children. If there was no market for these type of disgusting games they would soon stop being mad. Blame society not the game manufacturers."

Again the nonsense claim the game is being sold to kids... It probably isn't even being sold. NOT ONE person went out of their way to even remotely prove these games are FREE online games made
by internet idiots and not games sold to kids!!!!  Then this idiot who wrote this quote goes out to say we gamers are all sickos? He's the sicko!

 "The game of this nature is sick and demeaning as well as anyone who plays the game. Yes, this is free speech without respect and dignity to those involved."

Another fucking idiot claiming gamers are sickos.... Rinse and repeat...

"It's part of free speech however as others have posted -we should make every effort to ridicule and marginalize the developers, sellers and users of these products."

Yet another idiot proponent of anti-gamer stereotypes... This sick shit SHOULD not be happening after a Terrorist Attack. NO GAMERS caused this terrorist attack but these people are acting like it's our fault...

"This is preying upon young innocent lives for what purpose? When trash goes in...trash comes out. And this sickness n violence is being drummed into these young lives and everyones lives 24/7 from the "Entertainment" industry."

Another complete idiot calling violent games "Trash"..... And putting "Entertainment" in quotes like the Violent games are more than entertainment, like training simulators for terrorists maybe....

"Warped minds that create these games brainwash the minds of those who "enjoy" playing these games. The Lanza boy played violent videogames and then acted them out. The parents of Newtown should be suing the manufacturer of the games that enthralled this mass murderer. Hitting these lowlives in the pocketbook will send a clear message that these violent brainwashing games' creators will be held financially responsible for the disturbing results of their depravity."

Another fucking idiot trying to link Sandy Hook to Violent games when there is NO proof he "Acted them out"... This claim is just made up because there is NO game sold by the Industry where you go around killing kindegardeners.... If there is it isn't the industries fault that 1 out of 1000's of games is sick like this.... He certainly wasn't acting out "Call of Dury" or "Mass Effect" when he committed the massacre. The mere claim that he was is just BS by an anti-gamer.
The anti-gamer shithead then goes on to saying that we need "to hit this lowlifes in the pocketbook" and calls violent games "brainwashing" when they aren't... REAL brainwashing is done to people like this by religious zealots. This idiot is probably ALREADY brainwashed at a "treatment" center they all use to force people to by zealots that uses Military Discipline to make people zealots... He calls for a lawsuit of violent games makers after Newtown when they weren't even responsible. Only an idiot would blindly believe such tripe. Idiot doesn't begin to describe this moron. These kinds of people should be locked up...



"Free speech is a cornerstone of our law and our society, but not all "speech" should be protected and these video games are Exhibit A for what needs to be banned to have any chance of having a civil and well-ordered society. Bryan T. Hodges, bryanhodges@comcast.net"

An idiot calling for the complete ban of violent video games. Oh Jee. He even left his email address. I will not personally send him hate mail, but if anyone reads this and decides to hate mail him, I will definitely not say you shouldn't. He's an idiot. And it's HIS fault he left his email in the comment. He's asking for it...


"What's disgusting is that some 'adults' play these games with their children.
Of course something should be done, but if they are put on a ,only adults could buy them, Some adult or parent will buy them for kids.
What we have a problem with is too many liberal thoughts in the country today."

Another moron implying violent games should not even be sold to "adults" (like were not adults but SCHOOL SHOOTERS/TERRORISTS/CHILD MOLESTERS/SATANISTS/any other stupid stereotype we gamers have been called), because "adults" sometimes play "these" violent games with their kids, so now because of that "adults" should not be able to buy these games, and because of this "too many liberal thoughts" are the problem... This moron is clearly a wackjob!!!


"Or better yet, why do people in our society pay money to partake in depraved violence as entertainment?

People who support censorship are not understanding the root problem. If people didn't buy this junk, no one would be making it. No amount of censorship is going to fix the core problem in our society - it's going to take a society that shuns depravity, like we once did."

This idiot is complaining about people "buying this junk" (where junk is violent games AGAIN), and claims that that is the problem and we need to stop this "Depravity". Like adults buying "Uber violent" games like Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Doom, Hexen, Jedi Knight and other "SUPER Violent Killing games" which the media keeps on scapegoating as the cause of Newtown is depravity now? None of those gamers are "uber violent". But the media keeps on quoting features from 1 or 2 super violent games like Postal 1-3 and GTA and keeps on saying "most games" are like this so you get idiots like this who think that they are....

"This is pornography with violence being the subject matter. Stop this type of violence. Young minds do not know how to assimilate this mayhem. It is being shown as popular, when it is not. This trash media thrives on the destruction of societal values. Please stop them NOW!"

Another idiot calling violent games "trash" AGAIN...  Asking this "TRASH" to be stopped and (assumingly) their Creators as well because this person FAILS to even mention WHO should be stopped. Another brainwashed fucking idiot.

"It is called indoctrination to blunt the young so that they will be numb when they see death or are apart of it. It is going on in the radical jihad nations. If these video games are not stopped we are going to see more school and other place killings.Indoctrination is not free speech it is like stoking a fire and hoping it won't burn but it does."

Ok... So violent games are indoctrination now... Do they make gamers "DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY FUCKING MAGGOT <insert racial slur here> FUCKNUT"... No. Do they sleep deprive people.. Not in normal circumstances... Do they wake you up at 4 am every day after being put to bed at 2 am. No... Do they take the players completely out of their normal life 100% of the time so all they can do is be indoctrinated. NO... Do they do ANYTHING REAL INDOCTRINATION like in Military training camps do.. NO. Because they can't.. Violent games can't train anyone.. That requires. 1) Abuse 2) Intimidation 3) Indocrination 4) Removal from normal life and complete
isolation from it.  5) Constant drills, sleep depravation and exhaustion. Games do NONE of this. Who ever is comparing Indoctrination to games has probably been brainwashed to do so and is another fucking brainwashed asshole.

"Violence in the media is what is desensitizing our culture. Hollywood and msm don't want to take any responsibility for what they market as entertainment - violence for violence sake- they line their pockets at the expense of our youth. They stand by abortion Dr.s as "choice" yet save the baby whales.... They assuage their guilt by "social activism" that suits their self aggrandizing persona"

Even  though I proved at the beginning of this article the Industry doesn't sell to kids, this idiot goes on and claims violent games are "desensitizing our culture" to violence I assume, but fails to even what they are desensitizing the culture to, Blames hollywood, claims they are making money off of kids, blah, blah, blah, Fuck you! They claim Hollywood supports abortion, so therefore so must gamers and game companies now! Right? Right? Isn't this what this fucking shithole is implying. So now abortion is something gamers and game companies support... We're all a bunch of fucking toddler torturing baby killers!!!! OH NOES!!!! No proof whatsoever for such an allegation of pure bullshit is there? Nope. NOT ONE SHRED....

"Free speech is only free when it is harmless. You can not do something without consequences if you hurt someone. These type of things, video games, videos etc, that are promoting violence like this one should not be permitted. These things are giving bad ideas to others to be copy cats and the promotion is giving the wrong message like if it is OK to do those kind of things to others. GOD HELP US. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO WILLING TO DO OTHERS HARM, AND THEN PROMOTE IT AS HARMLESS TOO. SICK."

Another bullshit claim by an idiot... Saying free speech should not apply if something is called "non harmless" (probably by an idiot because only idiots call violent games harmful...)  He then claims violent games cause "copy cat" murders and more BS.... What an idiot.. But he's nothing compared to the next moronic turd...



"We cannot afford any more legislation that takes away liberties. People need to step up and make these gamers stop the gore by protest and boycot. Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists."

Ok... So were school shooters (us gamers that is), child molesters, and worse... But this idiot dares to claim that "gamers" are "terrorists" now... One step away from blaming "Gamers" for the Bombings in boston no doubt...  I quote:  "Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists.". Does this idiot REALLY believe gamers are terrorists? Apparently so. So now we, game manufacturers and Terorrists (we are all of the above now) need to be "Boycotted". What a fucking moron. Anyone who DARES to equate "Gamers" to "Terrorists" is a fucking idiot... Nothing more to say... Just hope this doesn't spread to more morons who believe everything they hear like 99% of the dumbfuck population of this Country after a Terrorist attack done by NON GAMERS.

"There needs to be a better online system to monitor not only those who created this offensive video game, but also those monsters involved in child porn, drug distribution, etc. We need to prosecute those who are inhumane. "

Another moron doing the following A) Saying game manufacturers should be monitored like Child Porn creators. B) Implying Child porn is caused by violent gamers like that boykin moron I attacked earlier in the year... What an Idiot...



"These DAMAGED people who put this TRASH out for everyone to see are just as DAMAGED as these two terrorists. Three PD's who gets three public defenders,stop wasting taxpayers money and put him out of his misery...."

Whoops. Not two sentences later and someone else DARES to blame the Terrorist attacks in Boston on VIOLENT GAMES! What a fucking moron...  And also calls for the execution of whoever "him" is... Could be anyone...



"Personally....I think the game makers should be added to the terrorist watch list."

 Another moron calling game makers "terrorists" DARING to claim we should be put on a "Terrorist" watch list for WHAT? We didn't do the fucking bombing. 2 RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS from the middle east did. WTF? How are we "terrorists". These fucking turds can't give a straight answer can they?

"I take it they are making money on it .. a class action lawsuit by the victims would be good .. .hit them in the pocketbook .. make them defend their sick game."

Another moron daring to claim that Parents should file a class action lawsuit against the makers of this "sick game", not even stating what "sick game" it is!!!! It could be any fucking game this moron finds "sick".... Any!!! Any!!! Another Litigational loser..


Out of 144 stupid comments attacking violent games, only 3 tried to link them to the Boston Bombings, but about 17 more spread bullshit about Gamers, Gaming Companies, and Violent games.. Complete bullshit like this fuels censorship... It's disgusting.. But what is even more disgusting, is we have "Lowlifes" so paranoid that they must find a scapegoat for a TERRORIST ACT that has a Suspect  in Custody with Charges filed against him, but that isn't good enough for them.. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's  the violent gamer child molesting Satanic Toaster Terrorists!!!" (Gamers).... It's our fault... More bullshit from assholes on the internet. People should NOT BE SCAPEGOATGING games AND Gamers for something they did not do. WE are NOT terrorists, we should NOT be put on "Terror" watch lists... It's all bullshit...

Gamers! Mail your Rep's about the video game nonsense. They are trying to regulate them again...

Checking Gamepolitics today I learned the truth about Obama's Violent game's conference between the ECA and the Senators, hosted by Joe Biden. According to the ECA, the whole thing didn't go down well and the senators still blindly believe "Video games cause violence". I quote:

"Senators are convinced that there’s a connection between video games and violence. One has even said that a proposed study is simply “laying the groundwork for new regulations on video games.” We know that’s not true - so write to them today.

Yes, even when presented with the facts that violent crimes have decreased since 1980, while video game sales have increased, and that other nations that consume more video games than the United States don’t see the same level of violence, those we talked to pressed forward with the need to legislate video games and waste money to find a connection between games and violence we know doesn’t exist. These Senators believe that playing games leads to real world violence. They have even gone so far to say in private discussions they disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision that video games are free speech.

We’re not going to take these insults and lies. Video games don’t lead to violence and are protected free speech. That’s reality. We need gamers to speak up and tell Congress this.Write to your elected officials and then spread this action everywhere you can.

This year is going to be a rough one. No matter how many facts we present, folks seem to want to stick to their fantasy that we gamers are time bombs waiting to go off. It’s insulting to me, it’s insulting to you, it’s insulting to us and just not true. Take action now.

Keep on gaming,"

 This is, Frankly Disgusting... Number 1) None of these senators even care that people don't want video games regulated,  As gamers we have to stop this mess NOW. We can do it. We need to mail our Rep's and Our Senators, but their message refuses to show the real issues, the media fabrications, the nonsense, the real reason behind school shootings.  The Representatives will assume the default message is  just Industry Rhetoric. Why would they listen to it? You must send them a much more detailed message like the one I have put below. One that shows the scapegoating by the media and how violent games have nothing to do with real crime. This is really important.  My message is a lot longer than theirs but covers a lot of stuff that very few people know about but is all true and people simply are not talking about it. If people want to use this message, go ahead. Edit it and choose the parts you agree or disagree with if you want, but make sure to tell them that A) Violent media studies never have proven violent crime is a result, and that B) Special interest groups in the CDC Study will try to hijack it with hoaxes, for extremist groups did that before at the Supreme Court, quoting the "Doom will Become Reality Hoax", which was actually not on Harris's real site but a fake site made after Columbine.
This is really important. This could be like the columbine moral panic on "Doom" times 5 if you don't act... Seriously.










Title : "Regulating Violent games solves nothing!"


"As your Constituent, I would like you to know that I am not happy about all the scapegoating happening surrounding violent games by the Government, and if you don't know this already, the scapegoating has been going on for over 10 years (since Paducah!), and it continues without anything to legally stop it.

Most comes from the media who are fueled by right wing extremist groups who are pro censorship such as the The Eagle Forum, the Parents Television Councel and others. For years they have been sending people on to talk shows especially right after school shootings, to make up utter lies about violent games such as the "fact" violent games make kids violent, the "fact" violent games break down the inhibition to kill, and the "fact" that violent games are military training tools. None of these are true.


The truth is that, video games don't make anyone violent, no study has ever been done even linking video games to violence, the aggression studies have been misquoted by people with anti-video game agendas on talk shows as proof they cause violence, without proving which studies they are talking about. One was a guy who was trying to sell a book. The other guy is a Defense Attorney for Murderers who gets them all to say "Video games made me do it" and is trying to get people to believe it, so he can win as much cases as possible. In fact no study has ever linked video games to Violence at all. Why do we need a study to link them now?

The Link between Adam Lanza and the Video game "Call of Duty" was based on 1 UK Tabloid basically saying "This kid lived in the basement (a video gamer stereotype), and had a computer. He had posters of lots of tanks and old fashioned Military Weapons. Since Call of Duty Players can name a lot of old fashioned weapons, he must be a Call of Duty Fan!".  This all came from a "plumber" who visited the house. This article doesn't prove he played call of duty, but then 25 newspapers all Quoted this plumbers words as proof he was obsessed with Call of Duty and some even said Call of Duty made him commit the Massacre. See the nonsense the Media Spreads? Millions of people now believe, that Call of Duty caused Sandy Hook. But it's not true.

The same thing Happened after Columbine. Some unknown party made a fake Eric Harris Aol Site with a page that said "The fires will go off in the 21'st, Eric harris Hates you all, Doom will become reality!".  This spread around to people and then the media quoted the "Doom will Become Reality" part and immediately everyone thought Doom Triggered the Massacre. Only Problem is that Harris never wrote these words, the site was made on April 21'st. It was proven by he FBI. But no one listened. One News article verifying that it was a fake Aol Site was taken down to cover it up by someone.... The media makes up bogus claims right and left about violent games. FOX News hired a fake hack psychologist to say "Bulletstorm causes rape because Rape is a violent crime, and since Bulletstorm is a violent game, it has caused rape!". Millions Believed this.  A preacher recently said at a public function of some sort, that "Pornography releases Endorphins, it's like a cocaine High, the more you view pornography the more you need that high, till Heterosexual Porn doesn't satisfy you anymore, you then jump to Homosexual Porn, then to Bestiality or then to Pedophilia. Look at all the Rapists and Child Molesters who said they were addicted to Porn. These Violent Video games are the same way". He basically said it in a way to make some people think Violent games lead to child molestation.   In the Columbine case, the Hoaxed page was used as evidence in the Supreme court case EMA Vs Brown. It was submitted by a Right wing pro-family Group who is anti-violent games. I fear some similar group will use this or other bogus claims (imagine if they use the Child Molestation one.....), in the upcoming CDC study as evidence... This must not happen. It's not true and things like this could lead to Regulation when no evidence of a problem exists...



  Legislating violent games will not cause Tragic School Shootings to stop. Doom didn't have anything to even do with Columbine. The CHS Massacre was a revenge crime against the police in Colorado, and according to a freedom of information act request for documents the FBI was keeping secret,
Eric Harris was Raped by the Police in an arrest in 1998. This triggered the revenge crime, Not Doom.

We still don't know why Adam Lanza killed 26 people. Why jump to conclusions till a real investigation gets done?

Thank you for your time and consideration."

My New video game Onslaught, finally released...

I was originally going to wait till October 31'st on midnight to release onslaught... But a serious issue has come up. We are getting a tropical storm around that time where I live...  So I have to get the release out of the way now... Because I will not be on my PC to do it then.... It will be off and unplugged... Hopefully the Storm doesn't damage too much stuff.....  So here we go... I spent the whole night last night play testing most of the maps minus the secret maps... And it's complete...


The game, which is called Onslaught : the cult within, is based on an old idea for a FPS game me and a friend had back in 1995. We thought of the whole story, who the villains were, what you were as a player back then... You played as a cybernetic mercenary named "asshole", who happens to listen to extreme metal.  You get hired by a mercenary guild to stop a mad cult who is bombing all the cities in the world in an insane attempt to bring on the apocalypse. Since they control the secret military programs of every country they can actually do this... They also have access to nukes and worse. In 2078 they nuke Paris and Washington DC...   They then use secret experiments gone wrong, horrible abominations of nature, to wipe out the survivors.  Then by using technology gotten from tortured aliens they are able to clean up the radiation and set up a base in the ruins of DC. The group you work for is fighting this CSC cult and is losing. You are hired to do missions for them to stop this cult, from stopping more experiments from being created to stopping future nuking plots by the cult... As a cybernetic mercenary you can do things that most people cannot do, such as put a impenetrable forcefield around you, regenerate health, etc. A trailer was made for youtube recently, which you can view here:

The game is an old school/tactical  hybrid FPS game with a non linear level system and many other features. You choose what missions you want to do with a mission computer in your HQ which is always the first map you start. The HQ has no enemies in it, and you can use a switch to chose missions and then another to start the mission you chose.... You can also buy items and weapons with money you earn in each mission, 5 minutes in, based on how many kills you get...  In each mission you face enemy counts from 150 to around 1000. It's a lot like serious sam. But in difficulty and realism terms it's more like STALKER. You will die very quickly if you don't take cover and remember to heal yourself often with medical kits and other methods, such as cybernetic upgrades and "eating gibs" to heal yourself.

As a cyborg, you also get cyborg powers you can use at any time. You have 5 powers, activatable with the f1-f5 keys. F1 cloaks you. F2 heals you to a certain degree. F3 gives you nightvision mode which makes cloaked mutants (very common and annoying) visible. F4 puts a forcefield around you for at least 10 seconds making you invincible. F5 is called metal rage and by default makes you fire your guns twice as fast for 20 seconds or so. All of these powers can be upgrade by buy able upgrades available at the HQ levels.  Make sure to use these wisely, because they are needed to survive even basic levels on higher skill settings.

In the HQ map the "exit door" on the right in the second room leads to the mission computer room. The switch (grey notched texture) on the column selects the mission you want to do next. Press it again to select the next one. It will keep selecting the next one till you get to the end... The other switch warps you to the mission you selected....  If you go back to the previous room outside the mission control room, and go the other way away from the entrance of the level, you will see an open door on the right hand side of the next room.  This room leads to the item store.. There are 2 more switches here... The left switch cycles through items to buy and prints the cost of the current selected one also. The right switch buys the correct item but only if you have enough credits to do so...

Level design wise, I ended up using a random map generator that makes great urban themed maps to make all the levels. I really don't care if idiots say this is bad.... Blah blah blah...  I don't even care... It works for me... But really I never even cared if the maps were hand crafted or not...  I did end up editing them quite heavily afterwards, by adding dynamic lighting, enemy placement changes,  etc...

The textures were taken from many sources, mostly free texture download sites and a HL1 texture pack called the Photorealistic texture pack... They were all enhanced with a free Painting program, using a bump mapping filter, since Gzdoom cannot do bump mapping.

The enemy, item and weapon graphics came from custom enemies that came from realm667.com. This is a repository for  items, weapons, and enemies made for zdoom that are brand new.. Many of them used or use sounds from other games... I tried to remove as many as possible by replacing the sounds with sounds from Freedoom (what this is based on), and custom recorded horror styled screams, etc... But I may have missed a few.... It's not my fault really,  many custom enemies use sounds and graphics from other games... I didn't make them.. so Don't blame me. I got most of the skyboxes from a Jdoom skybox pack, and some other sources, a skybox pack made for Gzdoom. Something like  that, I forget where...

The game is quite scary at times... Mutant enemies (the CSC experiments mentioned above) are very scary in nature and make loud screaming noises often. At least one has the ability to scare you shitless. There are also randomly played ambient sounds that sound like a monster but are not, to freak you out... and randomly occurring night zones, when the whole level will go dark to freak you out for 20 seconds, accompanied by a screaming noise and a monster teleported near or behind you. The game also has a scripted day/night cycle as well, using appropriate skyboxes, and light coloring effects. The game's time scale is increased so each day goes by in 20 minutes, so it's more obvious in the smaller levels....


Anyway... The actual game has been released and tested quite a bit.... It's available here. Download the zip file and unzip all files  to a new folder, C:\ons or something like that. Then run gzdoom.exe in that folder to play... Doom itself is not required to play... It is totally standalone, but uses a free copy of freedoom as an IWAD, because I don't know how to make an IWAD myself to make this standalone any other way. Freedoom is a completely free and non-id software based resource set and IWAD that allows people to play Doom levels that are custom without actually owning doom itself. All of the content in it is new, So I thought it was the perfect base IWAD to include in this, because I cannot be sued for simply distributing it, unlike a copy of the doom2.wad that comes with Doom 2. The game requires at least a system with these system requirements:

Pentium 4 1.8 GHZ, 1 GB Ram, Ati-Radeon 8500 or Nvidia Geforce 4 TI or higher, decent soundcard, and   450 MB of free disk space, Windows as an operating system.

I tested it on my system which has these specs:

Pentium Dualcore 3.0 GHZ, 2 GB ram, Nvidia Geforce GT 520, soundblaster live external USB soundcard, Windows XP.

Make sure to configure your controls with the options menu > configure controls options before playing. I recommend new players to play now higher than "badass" (medium) due to the difficulty.


Neccisary but pointless Disclaimer : This game has lots of bad language, gore, bathroom humor, and other "offensive" content... Just a friendly warning... This is for mature gamers only... Not something that should be exposed to young kids..

Onslaught : Free FPS video game being made by me.

Back in 1995, me and a friend came out with an awesome idea for a FPS game.  In it you played as a cybernetic mercenary who happens to be a die hard metalhead/heavy metal music fan.  You started down in cape cod, MA or in a prison in outer space (in later drafts of the game idea).  A mercenary guild called the Anti-Social Services (or A.S.S. for short) would contact you and offer to hire you to do work against the main villains of the game, a mad cult called the Cult of the Serpent Church, which was in total control of at least the US and Canada during this time (the game took place around 50-60 years from now, in post apocalyptic ruins of cities). This cult was attempting to exterminate humanity, for whatever reason. They nuked washington DC and Paris a few months before the game started. They had total control of every major countries militaries. The Anti-social services were fighting them and losing. So they hired you, the cybernetic mercenary to help them out. You would be whisked off to many different cities along the whole east coast of the US, the move to the west coast, then Canada, then Antarctica, then finally the ruins of DC for the final level to fight and kill the mad cult leader. We named the character you played as as bastard at the time. He was really a badass, Duke3d like character, with BAD one liners, etc. My friend wanted the character to be a real anti-hero. Not a goody too shoes. The plan fit. For the next 6 years from 1996 to 2002  we kept on thinking of enemy, weapon, and level ideas. We had hundreds of each. The plan was getting so ridiculous that we eventually stopped updating it and scrapped it. We wanted it to be  given to a game company, and get paid. It never happened... But that doesn't mean Onslaught is not being made.. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Using Gzdoom you can easily make standalone games without using anything from the parent game (doom 1/2 etc). I've been doing just this to make onslaught as a standalone Game, using Freedoom as a base. Freedoom is a free Doom IWAD, and allows anyone to play any doom addon without the full game even installed. Using resources from realm667.com I have managed to recreate many of our old ideas for monsters, cult soldiers and weapons. Only thing left was levels. Not a big fan of doing my own maps for Gzdoom I decided to use a really good Doom Random Map generator that does really well designed urban levels (for that time anyway). I used these levels as a base and simply retextured them with free Photorealistic urban textures, and added enemies here and there and tweaked other things. The project is almost done, after almost 15 years of developement time! I plan to release it by midnight on Halloween 2012. Some things need to be changed though... Not major changes mind you, but some minor issues. But most of it has been completed, including all 32 levels.

Gameplay wise, onslaught is quite different from normal shooters. Number 1 it is excruciatingly difficult on higher skill settings, and even has heart attacks simulated in it's scripting library for low health. Number 2, since you play as a cyborg (now being called Asshole), you get to use cybernetic powers with the f1,f2,f3,f4 and f5 keys. F1 gives you a temporary cloaking ability. F2 heals you. F3 gives you nightvision that allows you to see invisible mutant enemies. F4 puts up an impenetrable force field around the player for at 10 seconds at the default level.  F5 is the best though. It's called Metal rage, and is aptly named. After screaming out a metal related phrase at the top of his lungs, our character gets 2x boost to weapon fire rate for quite some time.  Using Forcefield and Metal Rage make the game much more bearable because you do 2x fire speed and are invincible.  F2 can save you from some bad situations. In this game you get punished for low health a lot more than others. Once your health drops below 75 you start bleeding, making your health drop slowly over time. The lower your health gets, the more health is subtracted per 2 seconds.  It's important to keep your health above 75.  Good thing that there are many ways to heal you. Health kits are everywhere but you can use them any time you want... Also killing enemies gibs them even with light weapons. You get health by eating gibs in this.  The more gibs you create per kill the more health you will get.  Using machineguns is advisable because you cause more damage per second. Adding metal rage doubles it so always hit f5 to make it more gory. More guts, more health. In this game enemies are around every corner at the start and you eventually run into 200+ per level later on. It becomes like serious sam, enemy concentration wise. Combine that with the difficulty and you get a mix of tactical and twitch shooter gameplay aspects. I think it's quite cool.

In terms of level progression, this is quite different from most FPS games. Each level is linear for the most part but the progression from level to level is not. You start the game in your HQ. Once you go into the computer room, you get to flip a switch that selects what mission you want to do. Flipping it again selects the next one, till you reach the last, and flipping it then will select the 1st again.  Flipping another switch warps you to the selected mission. Once you finish the level the mission is in you return to the HQ with your guns stripped from you to ensure you start each level from scratch. There are so many guns in this game that carrying them over from level to level will make it too easy. 25 guns is a lot. You can replay all the levels multiple times and more levels will be made later to make it even more fun, so that you get not 32 but 64 levels to explore. 32 more bonus levels... This in scope is closer to something like Skyrim then a normal FPS game. although each level is totally linear (the random level generator has no option to remove locked doors, etc to make it nonlinear), it is still fun. In a bonus pack down the road you will get an option to go on a "vacation" and explore a randomly chosen map from the 32 bonus ones.... Something to make the game more replayable.

You also get money in this game to use on spending on new guns to start new missions with. Once you visit every room in the first HQ map you will run into buy and sell switches in another room.  Pressing one selects the item to buy. Pressing it again selects the next one, etc. Pressing it once you reach the end makes it select the 1st. Pressing the second switch buys the selected item for the mentioned cost.  The difference in Onslaught is that the money comes as a bonus for good performance 5 minutes in in any level. The more monsters you have killed by the 5 minute mark, the more money you get.  So in harder levels, you get better rewards, money wise... The game has innocent civilians who are all big assholes but are not hostile... You get generic male civis, female civis, teachers, violent video game protestors and idiots from doomworld.  They all count as enemies to kill so killing them will get you more money..  Each is a parody on idiots of real life.  Male civilians, and female civilians are based on idiots I dealt with in real life. Teachers are based on the idiots we had for teachers in many schools I went to.  The video game protestors were a semi-joke making fun of real life anti violent game activists. Killing them is optional and often time they get killed by the enemies by accident... There are at least 10 per level in most levels..

In terms of how easy it is to use stuff to make a game, you really have to be careful what you use. I had to change sounds for 99% of the enemy cast, and had to cut many enemies and weapons because idiots on realm667 were uploading custom monsters and weapons that used sounds from other games. This is something that can get you sued as a game developer, for distributing copyrighted sounds from another game, even though you weren't the one who ripped the sounds from the other game in question. I had to cut out a LOT to get around this and it pisses me off. You'd think the people in charge of that site would add a stipulation that says (non-infringing content only!) but they don't. It isn't my fault that half of that stuff steals content from other games and it pisses me off.  I had to get rid of 40% of the old stuff due to this. Not a small %.

The textures I used come from many sources, but none come from other games. Most are from a photorealistic texture pack released on half-life forums years ago. Since gzdoom supports hires textures this was the obvious choice for good looking GFX. Add the dynamic lighting around torches that you can boost by setting the max size and intensity of all lights,  and you can make the old gzdoom engine look as good as HL2 graphics wise, maybe not architecture wise, but it looks almost that good.  Some textures came from free texture download sites which don't exist anymore. I altered many to get them to tile and bump mapped every single texture in a painting program to make them look even better. The sheer amount of graphic detail the environment has in it is insane in Onslaught.... Here is a trailer I uploaded to youtube today...

Check that out... I plan to release it soon, within the next 2 weeks or so.... I plan to release the game as a free download in 2 week or so. It won't require any doom game to play.. Completely standalone. It WILL require hardware acceleration though because it uses lots of dynamic lighting and high-res textures and skyboxes.Stay tuned...

Comments attacking violent games on news articles, filled with BS, Surprise!!!!

For years, I have been seeing BS comments on newspaper articles that attack video games for controversial reasons such as causing school shootings, violent content, etc. Calling violent games "trash", "junk" or "garbage" is a common one I have seen thousands of times since 1999. Always being bugged by crap excuses like this and people saying crap about gamers, I committed myself to studying just how many of the comments from articles I found, could be considered inflammatory toward gamers, games, the industry, and most important, spread lies about violent games. The results were quite shocking, to say the least...
So I embarked on this study last year. The total results were from 7 parts published on my wordpress blog and the details are cited below... Part 6 is available here as well. (The first 5 out of 7 were deleted due to possible libel complaints down the road... I wanted to avoid that, but the specific comment types were recorded in another post online, but that was accidentally deleted last night)


"I am continuing my study into the nature of comments attacking violent games on articles in newspaper sites online. By definition the comments must fit these categories to be considered ‘attacking violent games’…

A) Spread lies about violent games

A2) Making up new lies about violent games .

B) Call for games to be banned outright

C) Call for games to be restricted to adults

D) Enforce negative gamer stereotypes

D2) Shows dislike, hate, or a grudge towards gamers.

E) A Bias towards gaming, such that the person commenting thinks games don’t deserve 1st amendment

protection,  the industry is marketing “trash” to my kids, etc.

F) Not sure what violence effects on kids are a restriction might be in order…

G) Attacking the ESRB due to some flawed thing like the FTC study or the fact ‘my 9 year old’ could get bulletstorm.

H) Wants violent game manufacturers sued or games boycotted.

The Previous 6 parts of the study found that, out of 77 comments, 57% were spreading lies about violent games, 31% had a clear bias towards violent games, 7% wanted violent games banned, or violent game makers sued, and 4% wanted violent games restricted to adults.

Results:

Out of all 97 comments in parts 1-7, 64 are spreading lies about violent games. That’s 65%

Out of 97 comments in parts 1-7, 26 have clear bias towards violent games, violent gaming companies, or the industry. That’s 26%

Out of 97 comments, 5 wanted violent games banned, and 5 more wanted the companies that make these game sued. that’s dropped to 5% for each.  3% wanted violent games restricted to adults.

Out of 97 comments, 7 made up totally new lies about violent games. that’s 7%. It’s small but still significant that this is happening.

Out of 97 comments, 4 enforced negative gamer stereotypes.  (4%)

Out of 97 comments,  4 showed a clear hate or dislike towards gamers. (4%).

Lies that are made up from the blue seem to be getting more popular in the last few articles. These lies are brand new, and are being spread by commenters. They are not from various news articles, or psychologists. These ones are troubling. Who would gain from complete nonsense being spread about a violent game by people who knowingly spread these lies that they know are not true? If you make up a total nonsense claim about a violent game you know you haven’t heard before, you have to know it’s a lie… Right? So who would gain?

Do anti-gamers sign up under fake names and spread more lies?

I can’t say. But these lies seem to hint at that. These aren’t the things I have heard from the so-called “experts” on media violence. These are totally new to me….  And they are false… But…  Do we really have a generation of libeling right wing anti-violent games groups hiring members to sign up with fake names to make up BS claims about violent games and post them in comments? I think we do. But I can’t prove it. But if they ARE doing this… It is VERY alarming… I will keep track of these lies that seem to be made up by commenters to see if others repeat them in other articles. I have an idea to see how many people are gullible enough to believe nonsense that is spread. More on it later…."

Now to read the worst of the comments and my response (if I responded to it in the original surveys at all):

(A certain comment, quoted from part 6)

“And it games cause violence, so be it. If a gamer tries to be violent with you, remember this one rule of thumb, so to speak. Since gamers spend a lot of time inside playing games, they are physically weak. As long as you can avoid their powerful, unnaturally strong thumbs, you should be able to subdue them.”

Pitiful. Who in the hell actually thinks that “violent gamers” should be “subdued”. Someone who hates gamers who think gamers cause school shootings, like that idiot who threatened to kill me on the newspaper forum back in 1999 after Columbine. This goes beyond a mere perpetrating anti-gamer stereotypes and goes to wanting them physically hurt. Is this a trend? First we’re bullies, and now we need to be “Subdued”. Moronic.

“others are using pseudo facts to support their bias towards games in the guise of anti-censorship”.

"games have 'passive and casual avatar rape and murder' in them"  

2 Words : Custer’s Revenge. 1989! Stop making this damn fake claim of rape simulators up… It’s idiotic. These people read biased articles that keep putting that lie in the game and everyone believes this  tripe. It’s ridiculous.

“Remember when the cigarette companies kept saying that no one had “proven” that cigarettes CAUSE cancer? So we continued to let the ads run where all the kids could see them. Lots of people died. Has it yet been scientifically proven that cigarettes cause cancer? Do you believe they do anyway?

Here’s the future of gaming: TVs as big as your entire living room wall. Life size enemies. Realistic wireless game guns with a loud bang and a huge kick. Maybe actual gun makers will make a wireless game clip that you can pop in the real gun where the bullet clip goes. Maybe someone will make an accessory that throws fake blood all over you when you shoot a game enemy at close range.

That’s OK, because no one has scientifically proven that violent games make the players more prone to violence. Until they do, let the carnage continue! “

Now you can see the idiocy being spread by commenters and how many comments attacking violent games are filled with anti-gamer stereotypes, hate towards gamers, games, the industry, etc, and how much they spread complete lies, fabrications, all designed to make violent games look bad after a school shooting. Every time I heard the media using fake claims like "violent games make kids violent/aggressive", "violent games are used in the military to break down the inhibition to kill", "violent games link to real life violence is greater than cigarettes link to cancer", "Violent games are being marketed to kids", "violent games are recruitment tools", "violent games that allow you to rape and pee on people", "violent games that allow you to stalk virtual women and rape them", "violent games are training tools", etc, I always here at least 1 commenter per article respreading them, and in some of the claims, you get "special anonymous advertisers" repeatedly and maliciously advertising the book for the author who made up the "video games are being used in the military to break down the inhibition to kill" BS claim, on talk shows after Columbine, a Hack Psychologist. You also get TONS of comments, on how gamers are psychopaths, sociopaths, how gamers should be subdued, how we're "gamer shitheads", how we are "gamer druggies", how gamers are all potential school shooters, and much worse. It's a real problem, because the exact same claims made about gamers being sociopaths/potential school shooters/violent people were also made by certain anti-gaming fundies on newspapers as well, after 1 or 2 immature gamers threatened their lives.... Being a death threat victim myself from similar people to the people  who claim they are being threatened (and multiple ones claim they did, without proof of course), it makes them look like complete hypocrites, because they unknowingly (or knowingly) support people who intentionally make other peoples lives miserable on message boards just to prove "gamers get violent", as  the moron troll on the message board of a newspaper did to multiple gamers 24/7 for 3 months, and said "I have enough evidence that gamers get violent" (the responses to their death threats probably), has been swept under the rug and covered up. It's pathetic. The fact that there are people out there that think all gamers are sociopath's because of people like Eric Harris, or any other damn reason, I don't give a fuck, is sick in itself....  I know at least 10 guys who have played video games before, 5 were serious gamers, NONE were sociopaths. Maybe 1 or 2 gamers are "sociopaths" but that's just a goddamn coincidence, not proof that games take completely normal children and turn them into sociopaths... Sheesh..

Now to show off comments making complete NEW lies up, all completely false, but apparently some people besides wackos in anti-gamer right wing religious groups like to make up false claims about violent games...

“But the videos in question, which the court ruled that kids can see, allows them to virtually stalk, beat, rape, and defile virtual women in a range of perverse and degrading ways. That is purely sick”

THERE ARE NO GAMES THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO DO THESE THINGS….

“It’s offensive and embarrassing the Supreme Court will afford murder in all its contexts—self-defense, revenge, military mission, zombie killer, mobster—and variety–disembowelment, decapitation, abassination, guns, chainsaws—more protection that sex.”

Most of these things aren’t even murder…… Only assassination, mobster are… The rest are either military combat, “self-defense”, or combat…. how is “zombie killer” murder? Idiots like this astound me. Especially when they bring up disembowelment, and and decapitation, which are rare in most violent games!

"1 comment of type A2) Making up new lies about violent games – Claims violent games as training tools to recruit military at young age, says violent games ‘permanently burn memories’ into the minds of children, blah-blah blah… Common. Back up your crap. You can’t therefore it’s a lie."

1 Comment of type A2) Making up new lies about violent games – Claims violent games and action movies have too much things happening at once, overloading the brain, causing ‘anti-social behavior’ in kids. WTF?

"The Commenter Claims just because he drove around for days and because of the length, he was forced to automatically do things without knowing he did them, the ‘kids that play games 18,20,24 hours a day will go into kill mode!’ Is this another hack psychologist worshipper unknowingly or knowingly advertising his best seller?"

Now they are making up utter crap about games in comments.... Some of these comments seem like something a moron in a right wing pro-censorship group would say, like the "perminantly burn memories", and "overloading the brain", and the "going into kill mode" ones...  In my honest opinion we have a bunch of pro-censorship morons both saying things like this, all completely made up to the media, especially after school shootings, and also on forums with fake names. I can't prove it, but those 3 comments are too suspicious to ignore, in light of all the very similar nonsense made up claims anti-gamers keep on making on talk shows, newspapers, etc after a school shooting. I have heard every single goddamned fake claim being made up about violent games by the anti-gamer right wing morons. I know them all by heart... These ones are new to me... What actual gain would a normal person have to actually post some claim they made up to make games look bad on a message board? None. Now what gain would a right wing anti-gaming moron from one of  those anti-gaming groups that keep spreading crap about violent games in the media, have to post something like this on forums? More people could believe the lies they post, and their claims could be spread to other forums. It all spirals out of control when one person online says one fake claim, others repost it quite quickly, everyone believes it because people today have been brainwashed to believe everything they hear.  This effect, greatly aids such right wing violent game censors, trust me it does..

This whole spread of lies is, IMHO, part of a much bigger scheme to get violent games banned for 1 reason, they offend religious right nutjobs.  There is evidence to suggest in many places that the media makes up utter crap about violent games, and the politicians believe it. But that isn't enough to get a ban to happen, because they need faked evidence to sway the supreme court, to fight against a claim of unconstitutionality. Faked evidence in the form of hoaxes were spread in April/May 1999 and in an Amicus Brief done by a right wing pro-family group, these hoaxes were cited as evidence to prove violent games make people violent.... This group has been known to recycle 2 very false claims about violent games over and over again, the claims that games have "decapitation of prostitutes" and "sodomizing victims with broomsticks". This groups claims cannot be true, because research done by me on my wordpress blog revealed how fake these 2 claims are. 

This whole thing is been engineered to create the violent game bans the censor/anti-gamers want.... The thing is that the media spreading lies and hoaxes being made by the media and others are being used to hijack the supreme court now.... You then add in justices who are for violent games through the election of a conservative christian president (like the candidate who supports a complete game ban), and what's to stop the supreme court from having a hung jury (and going back to the law that was passed before they looked at it on grounds of unconstitutionality), or even finding it constitutional via faked evidence in Amicus Briefs and 4 justices who support the idea of a violent games ban. This could happen if you add these 2 things in, the faked evidence in Amicus briefs and new justices who support bans... It's scary... Something must be done about it and the lies being spread... More on that for another article or video... Stay tuned gamers
