I don't buy into the theory that video games or movies are responsible for violence. I don't honestly think they help violent people be less violent, but blaming them is purely the lazy way to explain our society when the blame lays squarely at our feet. Humans are just downright violent people and if you don't believe that read history sometime. Video games have ratings for a reason. No ten year old needs to play Grand Theft Auto. That's for me. Someone in his twenties. That said video games do make me violent. Because they can frustrate me and piss me off so much I want to throw things. The controller, the TV itself. But I blame me. It's just how I am. And the game can be as benign as Super Mario. But once I cool down and realize that the game does not cheat, I'm better. But the game is not the dangerous thing, it's me. I blame me. Getting 99% of a mission finished only to get capped from behind can make me scream obscenities better than the rest and throw my chair. I know a few controllers that hate me.
