Video game violence, eh? I wonder what game will get mentioned!
I smell a video games bash Fox News style...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cynical side of videogames (spanish only): http://thelostlevel.blogspot.com/
I'm going to have to agree. This sounds like a one sided slamfest with comments taken out of context for ratings. I'm sure there won't be any mention of the biggest opposing voice being close to disbarment in this lovely piece.

Who the hell watches CNBC?
-GRIZZAM PRIME(c)is property of the U.S. Marine Corp. Wetworks Dept., and also The Incredible Hulk-GRIZZAM PRIME is not to be associated with GRIZZAM 512 or any other GRIZZAM entity under penalty of law, so sayith ZARATHOS.
I'm gonna have to catch the repeat of this Sunday.....
Lost. =\
AMEN, MAH BROTHA! That was most definitely the best season finale of LOST yet!!!

As an investor, I watch CNBC on occasion, and I have yet to hear something vaguely intelligent on that channel. In fact, I'm quite convinced that the reason so many dumb people are in the business world is because all the smart people are scientists doing stuff like curing cancer. Or making video games.

So speak I, some random guy.
DVRing it :)
At 15 minutes in we are already talking about violence, still it is funny that the nintendo guys doesn't even remember that the blood in mortal kombat got turned into sweat. ESRB is talking now, I dunno I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until the end.
Whoever they have playing DOOM is just plain awful at it.
They are also showing footage from some really awful games as filler, I mean why exactly did they choose the nightcrawler game? Still though the violence part was more balanced then I thought, the announcer is starting to irritate me though.
Was that bloodwake as the first game they showed the two people playing? I know I'm one of five people that played it but it sure looked alot like bloodwake.
Watching right now.
My opinion: eh, it's okay. At least they didn't spin the hell out of the violence issue, and stayed respectably neutral.
I'm watching it as well.
As much as I keep expecting it, I'm glad our self appointed enemy hasn't appeared.

GRRRR seeing Hillary makes me mad :P
Ha, it's pathetic how Jack here loves to troll internet forums dishing out "jokes" that I assume he thinks are witty. I guess acting like you're better than everyone else on some website is a nice way to escape the reality of being a know-nothing attorney. (most likey without the "attorney" part after June 4th)
I knew about it from the commercials but then forgot. >_<
So after watching it I'm pleasently surprised, it was a very fair even-handed portrayel. The violence stuff did come earlier than I would have preferred but at least it was short and they showed all the research that shows that there isn't a connection between games and violence. I especially liked that it was people from the industry talking without any of the shrill folks who like to make things up.
All in all I'm pleased with the show, it was mostly complimentary and took a nice look at were the industry is going; still hate the announcer though.
So what you're saying is a little bit of Thompson died inside tonight? Fairness and balance is to Thompson as Arsenic and Lead are to humans. He can handle small amounts, but the more that he experiences the more it affects him, and eventually it's fatile.
Pretty much, we can see that from his comment above. This kind of coverage that acknowledges that gaming is growing and more and more people are going to be gamers and that the old lines about "games cause violence" isn't going to be tolerated. So it's not even so much of an issue of fairness and balance as it is a fact of truth.
There's is a 1AM replay so I'm watching it now. Talking about the MK violence thing, failed to mention the changing of the fatalities on the SNES. I've thought this for years but is it just me or does Lieberman always sound like he's constipated? At least they do seem to have somewhat balanced this.... Well, not really since certain things weren't exactly delved into *COUGHDEVINMOORECOUGHCOUGH* and no real counterpoints or comments from anyone good, plus I think they've recycled some things from their "Game On" program....
Sim Ant? Oh man, I loved that game! Charge, my soldier ants, charge to vic-- RETREAT LAWN MOWER!
I started to watch it...but was willed away by a violent video game
Imagine if you went back in time, and showed the people who were complaining about the video game "Death Race" and showed them GTA IV.
