Pat Robertson: Video Game Murder Is The Same Thing As Real Murder



Yes folks, you read that title right and this is something he actually said.

Pat Robertson who is the host of  'The 700 Club' was doing a Q&A section in the broadcast when one of the question was about what the bible says about "virtual sins".

Here is the video.


So if you've killed someone in a videogame, it's the same as doing it in real life. Oh yes of course, I killed a soldier in Call of Duty with one cut of my knife, it's the same thing as doing it in real life.

In a video game the characters you see are not real, when you kill someone in a videogame that someone in most cases will come back again and will do the exact same thing it did before you took it upon yourself to kill that someone. In Borderlands 2 for example when you kill Hunter Hellquist of the Hyperion Truth Network, leave the area and come back after 10 minutes he's back doing the same thing he was doing when you first encountered him, the same thing does not happen in real life.

When you kill a soldier in Call of Duty, that soldier is not dead, he'll come back again in 3 seconds with the exact same look, exact same voice and exact same equipment he had before you killed him. It's not the same thing as killing someone in real life, in real life that person is gone, he or she cannot come back, in the virtual world that person can come back.

Once again it's this ridiculous accusation that if you've killed in a game you're a murderer in reality.  Merging fantasy with reality and putting a guilt trip onto anyone who plays videogames where the objective is to kill kill kill.

I'm not a murderer in reality because I played Dishonored, I'm a gamer.

The only time I get violent in reality is when lag happens.....and when there's a fly bugging me.

Thank you for reading.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro
