GameFace Episode 118

I found the CNN article regarding video game violence you were quoting from Shane, very handy for my college assignment on social impacts of gaming.

Nice discussion - as always. There is the thing: so-called "common sense gun control" won't be helpful here, nor video-game tax. Neither options are good - problem isn't in only ONE thing, it's societal - and scapegoating will not help. As for "younger voters" - that also not true - look up 2016 voting patterns. Also, the same was happening when Dems were in charge - so, it's not a partisan issue - don't make it so. As for "mass" shooting and "that only happens in US" - BS. Russia, two cases last year: in one, two middle-school kids stabbed 12 kids(hospitalized in critical conditions) and teacher (stabbed to death); another, college student shot 19 people in the dorm. In both cases guys went nuts - and politician ALSO blamed video-games and films. Japan, Akito, last year - same thing, but with long blade. Nothing changes. As for "self-censoring", it's already being done due to cries over "sexism" and "racism" - not issue there, i suppose - thx to a certain feminist. She argued for the same thing. "Strict gun laws" Yeah - it's much stricter in Russia, or Japan: in one you can buy full-auto, in another - long-barreled; in both nations you can buy rifled guns YEY, "strict". - Cats vs dogs - Dogs just more loyal, Cats don't care about owner. - Companions is games: Depends on the game: but no escort mission - there are dumb. - Some people can't persuasive 60 fps - nope, everyone can. Otherwise is just a deflection of - mostly "console peasants". The best option so far had been Titanfall, where player has an option for either 30 or 60 fps - or games for PS4Pro\XbOX\Switch. "Shadow quality" XD Nope - it's Aliasing that take more resources. - On "remasters", maybe some people have nOt played it, and don't have PS3\X360?

It would be great to get all three of you guys on the pod. It's like Brent is a hybrid of Shane and Matt from a personality perspective! Great episode gents.
