The StarCraft one is so true, there's this Korean kid in my art class and he never stops talking about Starcraft.

Using "'Killing' characters in a video game" as a measure of aggression seems like cheating; when achieving the goal of the game requires killing NPCs, of course you're going to see a lot of digital death, so using as a measure of aggression is just futile and doesn't prove anything.

So mamy streotypes the media is the worst with the violent videogames cause kids to kill.

This was really funny, definately the starcraft thing. I had seen that shirt Brett was wearing but never noticed that it was an FMA shirt. FMA IS THE BEST THING EVER.

Great article, Tyler! And THANK YOU for getting in some PvZ (a.k.a. Plants vs. Zombies). I love, love, love that game. Also, because I have two meat paws for hands and function much better on a pc, I only own a Wii for a console - thank you for again bringing up one of the few, fine examples of a great game on the system. Again, well researched, and funny!

back in 2007 when wii bashing was getting started I thought to myself
"surely when people realize that there are quality games such as Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, and Okami the wii will start getting the respect it deserves"
2+ years later and I'm still wrong.
PS. although it is not be the same, video games do cause violence due to very bad games, (I wanted to find a sword and start cutting people up after I played Red Steel) also for the wii lol

I like you guys own up to being a part of the perception of gaming stereotypes (which was a really fun article by the way, I could lump each of my friends in each stereotype apart from the snot-nosed little kid type) and also saying how much fun it is. Hell, even I'll own up to that because I'll be the first in a drinking crowd to start bashing on gamer stereotypes, and then move on to bashing frat boys, preps, emos, goths, women, etc. Its all good fun. Any person who has any passion can be made fun of, from cars to sports to games. Anyone who can take the ribbing in good fun I say should always dish it out tenfold to everyone else. Spreads the love.

Anyone that honestly thinks Jeff Gerstmann was ****ing fired over a goddamn video game review is a moronic douchebag, period.
Sometimes, little nerds, the truth is not at all like the dumbass fiction that you make up.
Sensationalism goes both ways...

First of all, great job Tyler.
Now, about the whole Gerstman thing. Has there ever been an official "official" (and I mean official) story put to the incident?
I know there have been some claims about this and that but never(according to my knowledge) the 100% true story, or what?
