As you clicked on the topic I´m sure you expected a debate on whether blood and gore in CRPGs influences young people. Well you won´t get one in here! ;) This story (a true story ;) ) takes place in a large country on the North American continent. A YOUNG and VERY beuatiful woman is sitting by her computer relaxing with Arx Fatalis, a game presented to her by the webmaster of a certain forum. We can call the woman W. Anyway here´s the dialogue between W and her computer as she runs into 4 gobblers and a goblin lord armed with nothing but her fists.

W: Dang! Come on then you *beeeeeep*!
C: Thwack! Aaargh (gobbler dies)
W: HAH! I´ll kill all of you!!
C: *some fighting noises from the computer* (Another gobbler dies)
W: Did you like that you *beeeeeeep*?
W: Come on then *beeep*!
C: Thwack! (woman´s character takes a beating)
W: You *beeep* cowards! Haha! (takes dagger from fallen enemy)
W: Now you die!
C: Thwack! (gobbler dies)
W: There you go you *beeep**beeeep*

Now at this point W notices her 7 year old daughter standing in the doorway with her eyes and mouth wideopen. You see swearing is not allowed in W´s house. While this happens, W´s character on the compouter dies which promotes another swear word from W´s lips. Needless to say W spent the rest of the evening trying to explain why she is allowed to swear while her daughter is not. This in front of W´s husband who´s shaking from the effort not to laugh out loud.
Maybe it´s not blood and gore from computer games influences young ones. Maybe our children get wrecked for life from their addicted parents lol! :D

Yup, that poor kid is sure to go on a killingspree now.
Shame on yo... I mean on W.

LOL Sounds like home - except I have a son, not a daughter, and very much addicted to CRPGs too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Would you believe I killed hundreds of kobolds and goblins - and can't hurt even a fly in RL ? ;)

A note. W is in no way related to me ;) :D *bows her head in shame* And another addition. W´s neighbours are catholics and abhor bad language. A comment from W´s hubby, "Well at least your lucky it isn´t summer" almost earned him a bed in the garage ;) . W´s windows are always opened summer time ;) .
