From Gun Games to Gun Stores: Why the Firearms Industry Wants Their Video Games on Your Child's Wish List (http://www.vpc.org/studies/vidcont.htm)

Screw VPC.

[Justin]

Working for the VPC has got to be the cushiest writing job since being a reporter for the Weekly World News.

I would imagine they both cater to the same demographic, too.

OK with the exception of SOF, those games look pretty cheesy.

Videogames teach you to kill.

Well then I better stay away from railguns, quad-rocket launchers, and BFG 9000s or Ill turn into a homicidal maniac.

soldier of fortune is incredibly gory, but the weapons are lacking. the sniper rifle is rather inaccurate, and doesnt have a lot of power to it.

it is fun to set the cheats on and just annihalte everyone.

their multiplayer has died off somewhat, last i checked anyways. couldnt find too many servers.

SOF I and II were entertaining until the novelty of explosive limb removal wore off. Give me a bloodless Allied Assault or similar any day: it's the play, not the gore.

As to the topic, let them go after games. Maybe it will alienate them from the younger crowd that knows better.

The first sentence says all I need to read. "The gun industry has struggled with stagnant or shrinking sales for several years due to the saturation of its primary market of white males"

Do you see the way they say white male? It is like they are saying "primary market of THE CAUSE OF ALL THE SUFFERING IN THE WORLD.". I hate being an upper middle class ambitious and successful white male. I am serious,no sarcasm, no BS. I am a second class citizen because people with an similar skin tone to me did awful things. I wish that I was black or asian or mexican or gay or female. Because then at least I would be judged based on my performance as an individual. Thats all I want. I want to cry.

[DigitalWarrior]

Sorry about that, I don't want to burden you with those feelings. Here let me put on a happy face:D

[Duncan Idaho]

VPC hates video games, too! Of course they do.

[Wanderer]

I guess they don't know that soldier of fortune has nothing to do with the magazine. And did you read the caption for the top shot game "Stop the hijackers". That's what's called a good message VPC!

Except that articles about Hillary's torrid affair with an alien in his UFO Love Nest are at least entertaining. There is nothing entertaining about the VPC.

Right now the easiest target to hammer on is white male conservative Christian. We are the only 'unprotected' class.

It has very little to do with what people of similar skin tone did in the past, every race has made efforts to wipe out another in the past.
We are treated as second class citizens because of some spineless quivering liberals who want to show how enlightened they are by feeling for others and renouncing the guilt they feel for their ancestors. They feel that if they can say ' We are all bad but I can see it so I am above these peons!' And their version of 'renouncing their historic guilt' means putting it off on those around them, especially those who don't share their cowardly ways.

Go ahead, be gay if you want to :D
