Most of O'Reilly's demographic can remember when the TV was invented. Really.

Looks like someone's grumpy over the Republican defeat. Quick, someone get this man a PS3 so he can blow off some steam.

WHAT A RIOT to watch hundreds of slackerboys rise up to defend their rights! If I had Bill's platform I'd say the same stuff just to piss you off!

This just in: Bill says somthing stupidly ignorant and offensive. More at 11!{/sarcasm}

Interesting that Ben grimm isn't replying to this at all.

screw bill o'reilly. I didnt think negatively of him before cause my dad watches his show all the time, but now.....what a dirty dick.

Oh so it was another "LOLZ IR BIG STRONG MANLY MAN MAN MAN! ME NOT NEED TEKNOLOGY! NERDS R B SMASHED!" rant?

Seriously, he has at least one of those a day. It's either about how evil this newfangled technological advance (that he obviously dosen't understand, but he dosen't need to because understanding things is unnessasary for a manly man), or how lame that new "chick flick" (like, you know, anything that isn't about WWII soldiers led by John Wayne kicking nazi ass) is, andhow he'd never watch that because he's a manly blah. Hell, he even finds a way to insert it into his daily ego stroking: "Well, those girly men at random local newspaper said something about me again. You know, if I wasen't such a manly man I'd point out that *my* show is way more popular than them. So there, neener neener, suck it you lame nerds lols!"

And that's why I finally stopped listening, well, that and I'd broken two radios...

I'd like to see or hear the no spin zone put Dennis or Andrew on. He'd be too stubborn to concede anything with either of them, but it would definately be a great debate with deserving people instead of the usual media whores out there.

And just so we're clear, I am NOT saying Dennis or Andrew are media whores ;)

[...] More amusingly, GamePolitics is reporting on a hilarious “IT’S THE MACHINES” style rant from none other than Bill O’Reilly. Americans will need no introduction but here’s a taster of the O’Reilly style for those not so familiar with him. Video: [...]

OHNOES! INVASION OF THE MACHINES! THEY SPENT HOURS TO GET IT! HOURS!

1982 here we come!

this one time i farted real lous and poeple look at me like wft

What's wrong with his face? Has he been dirty on the phone again, becuase it looks like his face exploded in acne.

OldschoolVgamer:
"I’m a tad sick of this anti-nerd bias in this country. [...] Why is it that we have so many people in the news and in sitcom writing that feel it is OK to just bash the nerds anyways? And why the hell don’t we have our own civil rights organization or group to defend us when we are bashed?"

Because we've got better things to do.

On a related note, perhaps we can agree that no one should reply to O'Reilly on these issues? He is notorious for being a troll, inciting people into e-mailing flames to him, which he gets to mock on the air. O'Reilly is garbage and not worth your time or mine.

This really reminds me of an episode of the Twilight Zone.

O’Reilly is just an irrelevant old man, who is afraid of change. He is even more afraid of becoming totally irrelevant. He spends time attacking Stewart, Colbert, and now Playstation 3 when he should be spending his time getting an education, so that we wouldn't have to hear so much ignoranant garbage spewing from his mouth.

Bill O'Reilly complaining about not being able to carry on a conversation with someone is funny when you consider what his idea of 'debate' consists of. Almost as funny as his ironic use of the term 'No Spin Zone'.

I like how someone - who comes from a society that constantly ignores the fact that there is a world outside America - actually bashes on the population group most likely to know more than himself. :)

Sorry to double post, but I had to:

Bill O'Reilly:

It seems to me that Mr. O-Dumbass is making broad generalizations about the whole of gamers based upon a specific minority of us that really do need help.

Dear Mr. O-Dumbass,

The vast majority of gamers play games as a means of simple stress relief, or casually for fun. Most of us do know our neighbors. Most of us do interact with the real world very well. Most of us are very normal people. There is a minority of gamers who do need some help dealing with the real world, but it is my guess that these people would be doing something aside from gaming if they didn't have a "machine" to plug into (probably obsessive reading of fantasy material, or D&D/other role playing games).

You are usually an intelligent person, so please do some research and THINK before talking about gamers in such a bigoted, knee-jerk way again. You are steriotyping a HUGE percentage of the population, and as a person in your position such an action is extremely irresponsable. Bringing in someone from NIMF without bringing in a gamer to dispute their claims was also quite short-sighted. Essentially, you formed your own opinions and brought in a "yes man" to confirm them. Congratulations, I hope you're happy with yourself.

I hate it when I get to the party late and everyone's already covered everything I wanted to say! =)

I would like to attest, however, that the iPod is definitely beneficial to one's health...I'd never go to the gym without it. (24 Hour Fitness never changes their music and working in a nightclub, I've heard enough hip-hop to last me ten lifetimes.)

//O’Reilly doesn’t seem to consider that the violent crime rate has fallen substantially in the last ten years, moreso since the PS2 came out.//

Well, technically, he's complaining about how video game addicition is at an all-time high.

He does make some good points (albeit he could've said them WAY better) about how the addicition is happening. True, not EVERY gamer does what he says, but there are a number who do. Sure, maybe not knowing the temperature off-hand isn't the most important thing in the world, but the point he's trying to get across is that sometimes you should just put the controller down, and go hang out in the sun and make sure you're actually living a life.

However, if I read right, that's what the other guy is saying, and this guy is just taking the whole issue to a new level.

I've been reading GP for a fairly long time, and I have to say I never cease to be surprised by the complete and total ignorance that large sections of our society live in. You'd think after all this time one would be numb to it.

What really gets me is the quote about the "computer geeks," I mean, there ARE the classic reclusive computer-type people out there, but by and large programmers, sys admins, game devs, etc etc etc that I've known and worked with throughout the years have been some of the smartest most informed, most interesting people I've ever met.

His rant actually made me feel like puking ;p

Bill Butler is correct here. We must destroy the abominations of God which are machines made in the likeness of man's mind, and kill all those who assist them! Death to the unbelievers!

Seriously. What a luddite.

So, regarding that last paragraph, is he saying gamers aren't killing any real people? Can we have that on paper from him, so we can shove it down his throat next time he's blaming computer game violence for actual violence?

Hell! Maybe we should give the terrorists some PS3s!

Anyone else old enough to remeber the sea's of people wanting Cabbage Patch kid dolls way back in the day? Yeah we are so wrong and different from our forefathers on that one.....

OldschoolVgamer,

I agree with you completely. But just because the problem is on a small scales, does not mean that we should ignore it's existance. And that goes for anything that people delve into too much to escape reality. Whether it's gambling, sports, eating, exercising. All of these activities can pose problems for those who become dependent on them. Instead of getting automatically getting defensive, like a lot of the responses above, we need to say, "Hey, that's not all of us, but a small portion need help". We can't ignore it.

And escapism can be healthy, especailly if the alternate is unhealthy. But when people are ignorning their personal and professional obligations, no matter what the vice is, they need help. And that happens to be a big problem in video gaming.

Videogame addiction is no more shameful than gambling, eating, or a sports addiction. It's a problem that mah people have and should be taken seriously. Not ignored.

I think that, unlike Jack Thompson, Bill O Reilly poses no real threat to our games. He is just an old man who can't understand why people like to blow things up in a fantasy world. Well it's because it's fun and entertaining. As for all gamers failing in life, that's bunk and he knows it. I've played for many years and I only would really say my life revolved around a game once in my life. One time in my life, everything was bad for a few months, so my whole world was Mortal Kombat 4, but that was many years ago and I'm very greatful to the game for taking me out of a crappy reality. This man is old and old fashioned and he's just wrong. It helps you escape the real world when everything is bad and is a very good source of entertainment.

However, it did really irritate me when he said that these games were like drugs and alcohol. These games are not at all like that. If they were, you couldn't play and then drive. They don't turn players into the living dead, like drugs do, and that's what I was complaining about a few posts ago. Some countries ban these innocent games as though they were drugs and alcohol. They don't have the damaging effects of drugs and alcohol, so the entire notion is ridiculous. That misconception is very dangerous to our games and I hope no one buys it. Then again, Bill O Reilly is no Jack Thompson, so I don't think we have to worry about him as much as about Jack Thompson. He doesn't write letters to judges and politicians trying to get games banned, but he represents the kind of thinking that is behind it and that's not good.

Move along, people, nothing to see hear. Just the delusional ramblings of another Luddite.

This is just an, "I want to say something that will anger some people on a topical subject to boost my audience."

He's done this before with other things and will do it again. That's how these people try to earn their living...

Guess who has been in a cave on Mars with his eyes shut and his fingers in his ears and yelling, "LALALALA!!!" for the past couple decades.

"Basically what you have is a large portion of the population...who don’t deal with reality"

well, its good to know he knows what hes talking about.

Don't worry O'Reilly, with the extent of technology there will soon be at least one game in which you can kiss a lot of ass and lie through your teeth which will help gamers become successful, just like you.

In all fairness, there are a lot of people on the interw3bs who could stand to turn off the games for a while and spend the time learning to spell. I think he has a point, although it be buried under layers of bothersome hyperbole and exaggeration.

His site has a *picture* of an iPod on the main page next to the "give me money please" link. I would call him a hypocrite, but then I doubt he has any real say in what goes on his site other than his rants. He must have a web team doing the work for him, because there's no way on earth this guy actually uses the internet.

WHAT?!? Ok, we're all doomed because we have PS3s and iPods and the Jihadists don't because they're too busy killing folks? Good going, idiot. You had to just connect terrorism to not-playing video games. In that same train of thought, playing video games stops terrorism. Stop hating America, Bill. Let us play video games because we're FREE to do it. Just like you're FREE to say stupid stuff.

So, when do we send a huge shipment of 360s to Iraq?

Its gonna be said sooner or later:

O RLY?

Clicked too soon. I was just trying to get the point across, are we gonna be violent killers from playing this game or mindless zombies? Can't these people make up their mind.

bill o'reilly is nothing but a biased conservative douchebag,and its pretty sad that little shitbag is afraid of technology,when the real thing thats destroying life is the bullshit he spews out of that mouth of his.

You see, I'm not angry at what he said. It's Bill O'Reilly, after all... But in fact I'm sincerely HAPPY of his anti-game bashing.

You know why ? Actually, I have no problem having things in common with someone I strongly disagree with (or even despise). And on the opposite, I have no problem having serious points of disagreement with someone I love or deeply respect, although I can regret it. This is why I'm happy about the French culture minister's policy supporting video games, although this is almost the only thing I approve of him.

But in the case of O'Reilly... I'm glad that his rant on videogames, gamers, etc... confirms exactly what I think of him. And I really prefer to disagree with him on that subject.

Mr. O'reilly

A) Google the words "Tickle Me Elmo". Slap in the face, isn't it?

B) You're using a machine to get your message out. Those same machines had people just like you in the past deliver the same message. How many slaps can you take?

C) I live in an apartment. I know all my neighbors except one. Scratch that, we became friends when he saw me come home with an EB Games bag. This is close to a TKO.

D) As a personal trainer I have to help clients through such issues as obesity, family illness histories, anorexia, depression, and all the social ills from being out of shape to all the social ills of being in shape. I also just found out my ex-girlfriend (whom I wanted to marry) is now pregnant with a guy who is unemployed. Don't tell me I don't deal with reality.

Some gamer is o going to h4xx0r Bill's site.

You know it's going to happen.

@Rigor Mortis

-- No no, what I meant was, I thought the jihadists were coming out with various video games (I don't remember the titles off the top of my head...) (and the 9-11-01 hijackers, I thought, trained a little on Flight Simulator)

I like how he blames people not having jobs on things like "the job-seekers sit around playing games all day" and not "the job-givers outsourced everything overseas where people work for pennies on the dollar."

Does the man ever realize what he says? I know my old Current Events teacher liked hearing him (maybe to find something to either talk about as discussion or just to contest with his thoughts), but god does he like his own voice.

There are people out there that specify with the field of their choice. Business men like to talk about business, while artists like to discuss things about art. It should be a no-brainer that Computer "geeks" enjoy talking about computers. The field is so wide-spread that it extends the arms to more than one field to know (Computer hardware, software, programing, etc) so it's no surprise that gamer's would discuss things on gaming. It's the whole human psyche of likes and dislikes that make unique beings co-exist with others that do the very same.

...some may call it friendship, or maybe even love.

[...] Via: GamePolitics.com - Bill O’Reilly Slams PS3 Launch, Gamers, iPods, Digital Tech (not in that order) [...]

Ok. Deep, calming breaths everyone. I was irritated when I read the article myself; but I think we need to look at what is, in my opinion, the underlying point.

As a society we have become incredibly reliant upon machines for everything. I'm not saying that's good or bad but it does present certain problems that we've never had before.

Lets look at the recent mutli-day lines and some of the ensuing violence that broke out with the release of the PS3 for example. It IS a little nuts to wait outside a store for three or more days just so you can get a PS3 before someone else. Its even more nuts to shoot someone over it. These can be seen as an example of spme people thinking that a game system has more importance than a human life. I mean what employer is going to be ok with you taking off that many days of work just so you can buy a game system?

There's also the problem of addiction. There are people out there who become so enamored of a game, MMO, or similair product that they lose their sense of self. I don't know how common it is, but it can happen and we need to acknowledge it.

I'm a traditionalist myself, anyone here who knows me will know that about me. I can see where Mr. O'Riely is coming from, though I may not agree with all of it. Yelling and cursing him out solves nothing. The matter needs to be approached without condescention and a mind open to the debate. Otherwise we're just handing the anti-game crowd a victory before the fight's even won.

O RLY?

Yup, his name reminds me of O'RLY too....

You know, if Bill would have used the anonimity of the internet a few years back, maybe he wouldn't have had to pay off that one woman that he tried to force into dirty conversations.

O'RLY's a dick about 90% of the time, but there is an occasional moment where he says something that's either right or agreeable with. If I had a choice as to who to send to the moon without any oxygen or a space suit between him and Nancy Grace, it'd be a hard choice though I think I'd favor ol'Tweety.

Isn't Bill O'Reilly's core audience people who have a hard time dealing with reality? You'd think he wouldn't be insulting them.

Ironic isn't it that O'Reilly makes his living by diverting people's attention with a machine that lets them escape from reality?

Using drugs and alcohol to escape reality is a better choice than video games? He didn't come right out and say it, but he certainly implied it.

"I FEAR CHANGE!!"

Bill O'Reilly == Career Troll

Did he just say video games were worse than alcohol and drugs?

I swear, Bill O'Reilly has to be one of the stupidest humans alive today. He thinks WE have social issues and aare unaware of our surroundings, he should take a look in the mirror. RRRGGH! It makes me so angry. I take this as a personal insult.

"Can you carry on a conversation with them?"

Yep, yep I can. I often-times do, since talking to people like Bill O'Reilly is like debating with a log...except that's probably insulting the logs of the world.

Well, you are not going to believe this. I found some one who believes it! Believes it! Agrees with O'Reilly! I don't think I could stress that enough!

And the irony? He's arguing about it. On the Internet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure computers qualify under the definition of machines. Along with the fact everything we own is manufactured with the aid of machines.

Heath J. Chaney
same for movies same for books same for date....anything can give you that rush ...so should we never leave our caves or think so we will never be flustered??

"Addicted to a machine" look who's talking. If the video camera had a dick O'Reilly would suck it.

Bill O'reilly is a fat-cat putz who wishes it was still 1950. I'd bet you money I know more about the future of the world economy, the state of technology, the sociology behind it's effects, and how to perform the Infinite 1-Up on Super Mario bros way more than he does.

Wake up Bill! TV is color now, there are no real cowboys, and you're still just a blowhard sitting in your little media room in the world YOU created by surrounding yourself with Reublican yes-men.

Get off my ass about my hobbies and grow some 'nads.

Bill Gates is a gamer, Is his life a dead end?

There is a saying "don't dis' it until you have tried it" I seriously doubt that O'Reilly has played a single game in his life with an open mind. And people vote for bush..

Why are people like O'Reilly on TV?

Wasn't TV, his medium of choice, recently thought of as the vacuum sucking American values away? How long before he has his own game?

[...] GamePolitics.com caught this gem from the Radio Factor with Bill O’Reilly: I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life - the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there. [...]

I love that terminator 44 can't even spell, but he can talk about luddites. That just makes my day. What an ass.

[...] Well…  Apparently Bill O’Reilly believes there’s something fundamentally evil about computer geeks.  The iPod and all the other fancy technology we have today is leading to America’s downfall.  Somehow it all leads back to the jihadists in the middle-east…but I’m not quite sure how… [...]

While they're there shooting bombs and dropping bullets on us, you're going to be there trying to summon Ifrit, and then we'll all be dead because he's not real.

@Heath J. Chaney

OK, it's my fault. I thought you were just trolling as you stated something with a link that was off making me think it was an opinion. I was just too busy at the time to notice that it had a period in it. I was doing something else at that moment and I was kind of thrown off. Sorry for that. :)

I fully well know that gaming can be an addiction, but as Ashla said the article may be slanted and non-neutral which is common to some Wikipedia pages making them either biased or advertising (take it from an on and off amateur editor there), so I'm not so sure of the accuracy of info there.

"I am an avid gamer, and I do believe that gaming is an addiction. Activities like video gaming can put you on a dopamine high, and once you pop, you can’t stop. And neither does the fun. Well done, Bill."

In a matter of semantics, you said you "believe that gaming IS an addiction" when considering the sentence afterwards say it "CAN put you on a dopamine high", the first should be "gaming CAN BE an addiction" but not necessarily IS. Sorry for the nitpicking there. ;)

But yes, I do agree that it can be an addiction as I have read stories of other people doing things after playing games like MMOs or over a game system such as the PS3 riots prove.

Also, the fact that a dopamine high can cause people to come back for more and not be able to stop is true (although I'm not a science expert so I wouldn't know so I'll just use the WP info here), but then again the effects of anything with the brain ranges from person to person as you probably already know.

A person could walk away from a game addiction feeling withdrawal symptoms and anger, while other addicts might not feel or do anything different from what they normally do if they didn't have the addiction. It greatly depends on other factors like the environment and way they grew up and were raised that would factor in as well. So the term "game addiction" and it's definition and effects is up for question depending on who you ask. Science can't explain everything

But, I think that these people who can't talk to anyone normally or riot over a PS3 are game addicts that took it way too far in a direction of depending on a machine, whichever they chose, to be their source of satisfaction, social life, and the thing they wanted, choosing either anti-social behaivor or violence which isn't healthy. People prone to stuff like this over A DAMN MACHINE need help badly either medically, physically and/or psychologically.

Just my two cents and sorry for the long rant. These are just my two cents and I may be wrong considering those people who may not feel effects from game addiction may not have a game addiction but game obsession.

Yeah Bill is right! All children want to do these days is listen to the grunge music and ride around on skatingboards! In my day children had the common sense to work 25 hours a day in the coal mines. But kids today would rather use the Walkmans then die of blacklung. Lazy good for nothings.

Whats really funny, is after reading most of these posts, most posts just make O'Reilly llok more and more right. Sad

Does anyone have the full transcript of that rant? I want to give a copy of it to some O'Reilly fans who "don't believe he'd say something like that" but I don't care to give O'Reilly my money to do it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, I say. Bill wants to declare a boycott on all those things he claims he offended by (phone sex apparently not being one of them)? Fine. Let's do as he says and fight the "real enemy".

It's time for a good, ol'fashioned Podcast burning. Light'em up!

http://warriorvisions.blogspot.com/2006/11/burn-podcast-to-show-bill-you...

wow...that has to be one of the most ignorant things i've ever read. "did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them?" What the hell is up with this comment? I would consider myself a geek, and granted we have our own lingo, but I find it just as easy to get my point across as the next public speaker. Apparently our vocabulary isn't as sophisticated or as refined as his is, but when I talk, I at least know what I'm talking about and don't base it off of unbiased, unfounded assumptions that you can't defend with anything other than, its my opinion or I think...Jeez even the specialist didn't agree with you. Crawl back into the dark hole you came out of because nobody cares what your opinion is. Do your homework next time.

[...] [Transcript courtesy of GamePolitics.com] American society is changing for the worse because of the machines… In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine… [...]

Tell Bill that President Bush owns an iPod. How about the folks that buy all of Bill's books and get them autographed, printed books made by machines? Bill has every right to rant and rave since that's what the USA is all about. Remind Bill that the machines is what puts his face on the airwaves and sends him a paycheck! ;-)

Okay, so Mr. O'Reilly probably needs to be told that the US armed forces actually love for recruits to be hardcore video gamers. To fly satellites that do recon, to fly drones that do recon or drop bombs on people like members of Al Queda, who clearly don't play video games (must be why Katusha rockets never hit anything), to flying airplanes that slam smart missiles down the throats of America's enemies, to infantrymen using heavy automatic weapons, nightvision goggles - oh, the list goes on but maybe I should just say two words that Mr. O'Reilly will probably have to eat real soon - "SPLINTER OPS". What a stupid f**k. I have an alternative reality he should look into - it's called IRAQ. Suit up soldier, and bring your frackin' Xbox 360.

anyone else wonder if sony actually paid the guy? the rant offers some odd choices - "Now this is a machine that allows you to play games in hi-def and all this other stuff… It’s the newest state of the art system from Sony…. It has a video game console, plays DVDs, connects you to the Internet,"...

i mean, it sounds like a plug for the damn thing!?

Looks like somebody's grumpy about midterm elections.

Wow, this guy needs to go actually meet some gamers so he knows what he's talking about before spouting that sort of crap.

OH SHIT GUYS, I'M A GAMER WITH FRIENDS AND SKILLS HANDY FOR AN OCCUPATION! HOW COULD THIS BE?

O'Reilly is a stupid cunt.

It really is as simple as that.

- Dang! those damn machines.. I don't get them.. they are evil!!

But now a lot of people can read his rants, because of these machines!
Nobody would hear him if these machines was not here!

So Billy boy, you should send a big 'thank you' to the machines and the tubes on the internet! :)

Hey, these machines cost less than drugs and alcohol! And there is a new "flavor" every month.

I'm much more tempted to get a PS3 now that I know it will tell me I am handsome!! Thanks Bill!

WAIT A MINUTE!

has no one noticed the obvious .... what's Bill O’Reilly doing with a paysite that contains podcasts if he's totally against ipods and technology?
or does he use this tool to reach out to the "know nots" ? lol

its actually scary the amount of people in real power in both the USA and UK who are so out of touch like this.

i am from the UK. when i was younger i was in a car wreck with a friend. i had to give evidence in court to help my friend (as he was being charged with careless driving).
at one point giving evidence, the Judge asked me to estimate the distance that the other car was behind us when we stopped.
I answered with "about 200 metres".
"In feet!" demanded the judge!
"i'm sorry, i was only taught the metric system at school, i wouldnt be able to estimate accurately in inches" i replied
The judge then repeated his question and demand for it in inches, to which i replied something like ...
"You are a JUDGE, YOU should know yourself what the measurement is in both metres and inches, i dont HAVE to know"
(which was followed by a few chuckles from around the court).

It's people like this that need booted OUT of the system to make room for new and forward thinkers. The world has changed so much in the time that they have had their positions that i think it just scares them and they lash out like that.

Unfortunately he does have a few points, even though I disagree that "video games are all bad", he has to realize that SOCIETY itself is fucked up, free market capitalism is a fucked up system, the lower you are on the economic totem poll the more enslaved you are, you're worse off then tribes that existed 1,000's of years ago in terms of control over where your time is spent.

He needs to look deeper at why people are checking out to drugs, alcohol, tv, and games in the first place - the society and economic social order itself.

People socialize less or socialize around virtual environments with many people they will most likely never meet.

Although he misses the positives: Isolated people who have trouble socializing without machines get some form of socialization at least esp if they live in communities far away from urban centers..

Help! I have agreed with O'Rilley twice this week.

"In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine…"

Think more people probably escaped into a good book!! and personally think better to go into a game rather then put myself and others at risk via the use of drugs or alchohol.

The other great fantasy escape has been the use of religion and often this has and continues in some places to be compusory. At least with IPods you are not subject to being a public burning, stoning etc (whatever is the specific religions chosen method of explaining reality) if you do not agree with that faith. Would require a whole extension of corporate law ;-)

[...]  (original article) A couple soundbites to help…. [...]

[...] STORY 1, STORY 2 [...]

Is Bill trying to say that Video Game related violence is the same and as widespread as Drug related violence? Hilarious!!! Maybe it’s Bill who’s out of touch with reality? Here’s some advice Bill. Take a few years off, work a normal job, hang out with your average American, enjoy life and then come back to TV and tell us what you think?

P.S. I think it’s absurd to compare video game addiction to drug addiction? I don’t think the prisons are over run with Video Game addicts?

Take comfort and solace, my gaming brethren, in the simple fact that this guy and all the other techno-morons of his generation will be dead within 20 years. THEN WE SHALL RULE.

Please don't think for an instant that I'm defending Bill, I consider him a dangerous fool.

Nevertheless, there are some parallels between video games and milder drugs like alcohol and marijuana (it's going a little overboard to bring opium into the mix). These are potentially addictive drugs, and video games may also be addictive to certain personality types, and can cause problems not unlike those seen in drug addiction.

I've seen some of these symptoms in some children (irrational craving, inability to focus on other tasks), and it is a pretty scary situation.

Remember, even an idiot like Bill can stumble over the truth once in a while.

You all shouldn't get worked up over BOR. He's just an old-fashioned carnival barker, saying anything he can think of to drum up business. His thoughts have zero intellectual weight...obviously.

[...] I get tired of all this nonsense about how bad video games are.  Bill O’Reilly’s rants on the topic just make him out to be the world’s biggest luddite: “American society is changing for the worse because of the machines… In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine…” [...]

basically, what i got from this article is that the jihadist are killing real people and americans will fail unless we kill real people too... wtf?!

this guy couldnt be any more wrong, i know what my neighbors look like, i have an EE degree, so i'm not a "know-not" and i've been "addicted" to video games since i could remember (atari 2600, the good ol' days)

and he fails to mention WoW, obviously ignorant ranting, now WoW's something to worry about... yeah, you know who you are!

Don't tell me I don't know about the real world! Bill O'Reilly is one of the hardest end bosses ever, and thats for real. I can't win him! I tried with my Super Saber of Manifest Destiny and the Spell of Good Intelligence and they both fail!

I'd write more but I need to go cash my unemployment check to buy a new controller for my PS3. If I could have found my Cloak of Great Rewards earlier, I wouldn't be here now, but rather adventuring through the Mighty Woods of Highway 101 to the Magnificent Bank in Lost Dreams City.

Funny thing I see here is the left wing right wing argument. We slam Bill O for spewing this crap and then blame the right wingers. Have we forgotten Tipper Gore assault on the video game industry? You certainly cannot label her a right winger. Bill Clinton did us the dubious favor of the DMCA. Or how about Hillary Clinton to purpose legislation to keep “inappropriate” video games out of kids hand. Should we expect such a vague law on this like the DMCA that battles against Fair Use?
I am by no means a right winger or left winger but I am smart enough to see the problem is on both sides. The problem is not the party a politician is affiliated with but the industries they are affiliated with.
While I think Bill O has a right to his opinion I too have a right to mine. And my opinion is that Bill O is an idiot.

[...] Over the weekend, Bill O’ Reilly slammed the Playstation 3. Here’s a tasty quote for those too lazy to read the article: Now you have the “knows” and the “know-nots”, because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines….. you’re not going to know anything…. You’re gonna fail. [...]

Bill O'Reilly's complete ignorance never fails to amaze me

All I'm seeing here is another tired old man repeating the same arguments his elders had when TV and video became popular. I'm sorry, but if you can't deal with the changes in a society, there are plenty of places where the communities are that dated

Yeah. I wanted to comment on this guy.. But why waste the time? He's a joke. You don't take jokes seriously, do you? then why bother commenting on them. Anyone up for a round of BF2? I'll bring the beers! (OMG, Alcohol! I must be mad.... Games AND Alcohol?!! hihihi)

I got my first computer in 1982. It was an NEC w/ CP/M. Oddly enough, I've never played games. I just don't get it. I get my kicks from programming, a.i. and hacking linux into doing all kinds of stuff. I got no problem with gamers, but man, their reaction and interaction with the game is kinda scary... like a freakin drug addict or something.... and it definately has a negative impact on kids. All the time that these gamers spend on games could be used to do so much more.... but to each his own... maybe they don't give a shit and it will help them forget that all the jobs are leaving the country and they can be good little drones and get a job at wal-mart. Leaves less competition for real computer people I guess...

I guess Bill doesn't realize that probably (this is just a guess, my papers with the actual findings are already down the toilet) over 50 to 60 percent of the people that make it possible for his voice to reach your ears/eyes are the very people that he is chastising. People that use technology everyday to do different things. Heck, I wonder what he would do if all the tv's on his stage were to stop working... or his own personal computer? What about his pc? He'd probably go to someone else with a pc and ask if he could use it, or just buy another one. That being due to the fact that he is payed for what he says and does, which gets broadcast to people who are often very attached to a piece of technology that he has at some point bashed. So what do I have to say to him... good job, hypocrite.

Ignore gidaon everyone and don't respond. Silent treatment... Shhh

Rofl, Yes, The Jihadist go home, play their daily 2 hour dose of San Andreas, then walk down the street and kill people.

this guy is a fucking retard (look at his eye). He obviously doesn't play videogames because (according to him) he's succesful. And he probably has NEVER seen a list of most gamers REPORT CARDS.



*pokes his eye with a stick*








T

O'Reilly's a clueless old fart.

[...] Sure, you've read our detailed launch coverage of the PS3, but how did mainstream outlets, usually harshly criticized by gamers for a lack of understanding, cover the system? Just how accurate were they when describing the PS3 and its capabilities? We set out to find out. New York Times -- Seth Schiesel believes that he's played more games than anyone outside of Sony (I guess he doesn't know Shane): "I have spent more than 30 hours using the PlayStation 3 over the last week or so and may have played more different games on the system - 13 - than probably anyone outside of Sony itself. Sony did not activate the PS3's online service until just before the Friday debut. Over the weekend a clear sense of disappointment with the PlayStation 3 emerged from many gamers." How accurate? Well, he fails to directly mention the two versions of the console (something mom and dad might want to know -- if they can save $100, they'd be interested to know how!), TIME -- Levi Grossman declares the PS3 not worth the hype in the article's title, and doesn't think there's a redeeming quality about Sony's new console: Playstation 3 doesn't have a battle-tested, feature-rich online service the way the Xbox does. It doubles as a Blu-ray DVD player (that's the main reason for the high retail price), but guess what? Nobody cares. And did I mention Playstation 3 controllers don't rumble? Whose genius idea was that? Without rumble, it just ain't a jungle. Give it time. The price will (probably) come down. Sony's online strategy will (probably) mature. More decent games will come out -- the PlayStation 3 is notoriously difficult to develop for, and game-makers are still figuring out how to get the most out of it. Next holiday season, it just might be worth it. How accurate? Grossman comes in at second place for a well rounded look at the system, despite his skepticism. He notes that there are two different SKUs and prices (but doesn't talk about the difference between them), mentions that the system doesn't come with HDMI cables, and makes note of Blu-rRay, even if he calls it a "Blu-ray DVD." Bill O'reilly -- Game Politics shelled out $5 to hear and transcribe what the Fox News' talking head said during his radio show about the PlayStation 3: "The have-nots are growing. Why are they growing? Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being deemphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that... Now you have the "knows" and the "know-nots", because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines... you're not going to know anything... You're gonna fail." How accurate?: Bill doesn't clarify that there are two versions, and I, for one, haven't been able to access the "tells you how handsome you are" feature he mentions. Isn't this what researchers are for? Newsweek -- N'Gai Croal and Steven Levy provide an article that, after the corny intro, is easily the most comprehensive and reader friendly to non-tech heads: "But this year, when PS3s are harder to come by than dragon's teeth, it's a different story. Just ask James Short, a Kentucky game fan who scanned the Internet 'day in and day out' to find opportunities to reserve a PS3 from a retailer and finally heard that a Toys 'R' Us in Lexington was doing a limited presale. He arrived at 5:30 in the afternoon to wait for the next day's 10 a.m. opening, partied with others in line and bought a voucher for one of the seven units that Toys "R" Us will get on launch. And like every other person on line, he sold the voucher on eBay. (Winning bid: $2,000.) This Christmas, he'll play Xbox. PS3 will have to wait." How accurate? Explains what's included in both the $500 and $600 models, and explains differences between the PS3 and the 360, quoting various executives to paint a complete picture for readers. Top notch stuff. CNN -- Using the ol' mock question and answer format, this article gives readers a quick synopsis of what the PS3 has (and doesn't have) to offer:Sony is styling the PS3 not as a humble games machine but as "next-generation entertainment" -- it will be compatible with the Blu-Ray next generation DVD format and promises near movie-quality graphics and the most realistic gaming experience ever. Users will be able to browse the Web, chat online and download movies, music and games. For those who already have a well-stocked collection of PS2 games, the PS3 is also supposed to be "backwards compatible." How accurate? Misses a variety of information regarding the actual difference between the SKUs (never even establishing the max price for a US PS3), but was one of the few to mention that the European launch had been delayed. That counts for something, I guess. The Evening Bulletin -- Commentary from Steve Feldman isn't just harsh, its downright caustic: "Now I'm glad for U.S. retailers that this product is in such great demand that people are waiting days in parking lots to buy one -- I believe in and try to support a strong U.S. economy. But I so much wanted to say to this fellow and the assembled others: 'Aren't there more important things to think about and amass for beyond a video game?' But at best my retort wouldn't have registered, and at worst he might have slugged me. This man was bent on getting his PlayStation 3. It was the most important thing in his world. I wasn't sure who to pity more: him or our nation." How accurate? He spelled PlayStation 3 correctly. That's pretty good for a radio show host. Washington Post -- Mike Musgrove focuses heavily on the console wars aspect, as well as the scalper market, but is relatively light on the technical jargon :This is the most-anticipated weekend of the year for video game fans, as the three big names in gaming gear up for a console war that not only renews a long-fought battle for a place in the living room but also looks to entice folks who otherwise might not be interested in video games. The PS3 costs as much as $600, but Sony's supply is so small that the cutting-edge multimedia device is expected to sell out across the country within hours, possibly minutes. How accurate?: Doesn't go too deep into the technical aspects that separate the PS3 from the 360, but makes mention of the price and even goes so far as to talk to analysts like P.J. McNealy (who they call P.J. McNeal, a minor gaffe) and Michael Pachter to bring an educated opinion to the copy. Definitely more substance than most. Baltimore Sun -- A column from Dan Rodricks urges those waiting in line to pick up a PS3 to get a life: "I know I speak for many Americans - some your own age, believe it or not - who find your obsession with video games, your dopey surrender to the hype, and your willingness to give time and money to the pursuit of an overpriced, made-in-some-other-country electronic toy to be wholly vulgar, crass and (insert synonym for wholly vulgar and crass)." However, the gem of his story might be: "If you want to "experience the most realistic combat ever," sign up for the Marines and go to Fallujah!" He apparently wants to here from us, though, as he went so far as to leave his phone number at the end of his story, (410)-443-6166. How accurate? I called the number and it was his, so it's pretty accurate. The phone number, not the other stuff. USA Today -- Complied from staff and wire reports, this article paints a picture of all the mayhem surrounding the launch -- the robberies, the muggings, the sweet success of snagging a PS3, and the sadness of returning home empty handed: Enthusiasm for the PlayStation 3 wasn't dampened by its high price tag -- $500 for the basic model with a 20-gigabyte hard drive and $600 for the 60-gigabyte version, which also has built-in wireless. ... Sony crammed the PlayStation 3 with the very latest in cutting-edge technology, and it dominated the previous generation of consoles with 70% of the global market. How accurate?: It's able to create the best "mental picture" for readers the experience of waiting in line with reports from Boston, MA, Allentown, PA, San Francison, CA, Connecticut, Wisconsin, etc. While it could be criticized for not having enough info about the PS3, this is the most interesting from the social aspect. The USA in the publication's title is extremely apropos this time.

Fuck Bill.

[...] Political-types have a love-hate relationship with video games; they love to hate them. The person doing the hating doesn’t always have to be in office (Republicans and Democrats equally hate video games, just to stop that argument short), he just has to have enough riding on the political game. Bill O’Reilly, hyper-conservative, is the newest member of the anti-video game crowd, and he has some spin for you. [...]

Is this the same O'Reilly from the episode of Faulty Towers with the builder O'Reilly? Sounds like it.
Anyway.... I spent my youth playing computer games on my PC. Now I earn $800 a day looking after them for people like O'Reilly... all on a high school education. Most geeks I know earn a decent living doing geeky things... non-geeks are the ones finding it hard to make it in today's "real" world.

Sounds to me like the rantings of an old man who sees the future and fears it because he doesn't understand it. Times change, get over it

Bill's got a point.

In Vancouver we have binners using these IPODS so when they slam garbage bin tops in the middle of night, the sound only bothers residents, not them. Great.

We also have pedestians walking around like zombies into traffic without even bothering to look just expecting everyone to stop for them. They are as Bill says disconnected. People are wired with cell phones, IPODS, and palm pilots. You're in the middle of a conversation and they keep interrupting. The last meeting I had with someone after the third interruption by gagets I told him either turn them off and converse or not.

O'Reilly is just feeling threatened that people will use their TV sets to do other things than watching his show.

He'd prefer the masses to be diverted by Bill O'Reilly instead of other inhuman machines.

I don't think he is talking about everyone who plays video games and has an ipod, but those who sat outside best buy a while back, for a day and a night, that is who he is talking about, that is rediculous, if you don't have enough of a life to get by for a few months untill ps3 will be old, you probably don't have any ambition to succeed. Go ahead, tell me how many of you make 800 bucks a day and all that, very few and best of luck to those who do. Perhaps you can throw down for your buddies who are still on the couch waiting on a welfare check, or their 'big break'. I'm 18 and I wouldn't own an ipod either..mainly because they don't work, and 3/4 of all ipods i've seen are broken or are very...shady, but it takes away from the personalization of people, you don't get to relate with people if you walk around campus with headphones on your head or a cell phone in your ear. He doesn't see most of us, those going to college, getting degrees and all that, but he knows that we are here and those people who do well, are not attached to a 360, and sure as hell don't have time to sit around waiting for a ps3.

[...] So I was cruising the tubes of the Interweb when I stumbled into a blog called GamePolitics that deals with the intersection of … well … games and politics. There is a gem of an post dealing with the darling of right wing jibber jabber, Bill O’Rilley, and his views on why PS3s and iPods are killing our culture. [...]

O'Reilly is making a point about the priorities that we as a society should have. People take their gaming more seriously than terrorist attacks--and that is not a joke. By living in our own "realities" as he so calls it, we truly do shut out the real world and numb ourselves to the reality outside of our front doors. However, O'Reilly is pinpointing gaming in this case and not TV and the internet, which also have a much too powerful influence over our "personal realities." It isn't hard to sit around all day day-dreaming about our favorite Final Fantasy or other gaming characters, or strategizing a way to beat that Big Boss on level 10. The main point O'Reilly is really trying to get at is that some people become so involved in the gaming world (and it's true) that they blow off any responsibility that they have to society--like volunteering in the community, helping your parents around the house, cleaning up after yourself, etc. Gaming is fun, but like everything else, it requires moderation in order to keep it healthy.
Waiting in lines for hours for a new console may seem weird to Bill, but that's just his opinion. If I wanted something bad enough I would wait in line for hours, too. The PS3 just isn't one of those things, especially at the price it is now. I'm willing to wait for the prices and the bugs to die down before I make a step towards the cash register.

to address an earlier comment... the violent crime rate has been rising since the 90s, substantially.

I have one word for Mr. O'Reilly: Loofah.

Practice what you preach, sir. You're like the people who thought Elvis was the devil and that comics destroyed the brains of children, and all along, you're doing reprehensible things yourself.

Why not focus on the true problems within our country, like rampant poverty and the second highest infant mortality rate of industrialized nations, behind only Latvia.

I know why; you're a bigot, a fool and a hypocrite.

bill o'reilly is dumb he hates ludacris cuz he makes more money than him and he hates americas youth because we are better than him LEAVE US ALONE!!

If we have turned to video games instead of drugs and alcohol, then it seems to me we have made a step in the right direction.

Bill needs to fall into a pit of vipers.

[...] Apparently, I scare the shit out of Bill O’Rielly. And no, it’s not because I’m infinitely smarter and more learned than he could ever be. And no, it’s not because I can see through his bullshit without having to take a second whiff. It’s because I’m one of those scary computer people. You see, everything wrong with the country (including, apparently, terrorism) can be blamed on us interneters. [...]

Nerds not being successful? Bill Gates. Need I say more?

Geeks being anti-social? My Space.

Let's just revel in the irony of this moron's rant generating communication between his "anti social geeks" accross the world, and point out that Skills in these destracting machines are getting to be required if you want to do anything besides flip burgers or make an a$$ of yourself nationally by rebuking them, and further more, most of our nations hero's going over-sea's to combat terrorists, choose to unwind after after a long day of protecting his right to idiotic speach by playing video games

[...] Bill O’Reilly is awesome. Yes, the story is from earlier last year, but I still really enjoy reading his crazy rant against video games and iPods. The have-nots are growing. Why are they growing? Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being deemphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that….

I think it's about fair time we get some sort of spam-control in here. The latter half of this page (this post excluded) is utter bullsh#t and should be removed asap.

[...] Which is how he thinks of technology, apparently. On almost every appearance lately, it seems, Bill O’Reilly tries to do toe touches with his tonsils. He cosistently mocks technology and those that use it, calling them ‘have-nots,’ and just seems to be against the advancement of humanity in general. Here’s some choice quotes from his show Radio Factor, courtesy of Game Politics: American society is changing for the worse because of the machines… In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine… [...]

it is a shame that kids kill at all.yeah,im a kid,but i have no killing urges myself.

Bill seems to me that he would rather have people killing people and doing drugs instead of playing a game. I really think he is an idiot with a Ph.D. Let us play our games. My parents say that they would rather me spend
2-6 hours on a game then 2-6 hours doing drugs, killing people, or anything illegal. That would be how i feel about my children if i had any.

Christ, what the hell happened here?

If any of you would actually like to defend your points instead of trolling on a news article that's a couple months old, then come to the forums.

MR BILL ORILEY YES I FEEL SORRY FOR VICKI LYNN HOGAN
{ANNA NICOLE} AND HER BABY GIRL DANNIELYNN AND FOR HER FAMILY. HER FAMILY IS A VERY WONDERFUL FAMILY THEY ARE CAREING AND LOVEING. AND I THINK HOWARD K STERN IS A COLD HEARTED PERSON NOT TO LET HER REAL GRANDMOTHER BE A PART OF HER LIFE. VIRGIE IS HER HER REAL BLOOD. HOWARD IS NOTHING TO DANNIELYNN. IT WILL ALL COME OUT IN THE END AND LARRY BURKHEAD IS THE FATHER.
I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR BABY DANNIELYNN BECAUSE SHE ISN'T WITH HER BLOOD RELATIVES. BOY WHAT AN AWAKEING SHE WILL HAVE LATER ON IN LIFE. THIS IS VERY VERY SAD. I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT HOWARD STERN VERY GODD HE ISN'T BEING FAITHFUL ABOUT HIS LIES AND DOING. GODBLESS ANNA NICOLE,DANNIELYNN,VIRGIE AND THE REAL FAMILY OF ANNA NICOLE {AKA} VICKI LYNN HOGAN. MY PRAYS ARE WITH YOU ALL. MARION FROM TEXAS

Phew. Thank god i'm not from the US :-) ;-P

LOVELY SPAM! WONDERFUL SPAM!

Where's Dennis when you need him?

[...] GamePolitics.com » Blog Archive » Bill O’Reilly Slams PS3 … Apparently sparked by the PlayStation 3 launch, conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly took off after video game culture and digital technology generally in yesterday’s Radio Factor http://gamepolitics.com/2006/11/18/bill-oreilly-slams-playstation-3-laun... [...]

all i know about temperature is, when i go to school at 6 o clock, its about 40 F, but when i get home it's 80. as for my neighbors, on my right is a gamer, as big a gamer as me. on my left is an old lady that never leaves her house (probably playing GoW), people i think we've all been through this, only psychopaths take video games as reality and shoot people, but they could take it off of movies or anything else. Ipods? wtf? it's a music playing device. I don't know anything? i have a 4.0, and an above-college reading level (I'm a sophomore). The real people that don't know anything are the Jocks and the Druggies in our school. alotta the gamers i know are smart, alot smarter than the majority of the people i know. actually base your rants on evidence.....douchebag

[...] However, when I read GamePolitics.com's piece about O'Reilly's outburst on his RadioFactor show this past Friday, I went beyond, "he's got a point." [...]

All one has to do is read so many of the above statements to see that Bill is so very right about the "Game" people. The new machines would be fine "IF" these people would get out and get away from their machines and see just how well MOST of us see and how we can interact with each other in the REAL WORLD. Thanks Bill, but some of these people can not face the real world because they are week just like drug users.

"In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine…"

Is he saying that drugs are better than machines?
