PBS Culture Shock

As an artist and a gamer, I have to say games can be a form of art. Art generally is a silent story, and games are louder versions of it. When I come across game in form of pictures, I see it as art because I know someone had to design, color, and publish it. Which is what most artist do with paintings. To say if I find some of the images offensive or not really depends what the theme is in the picture itself.  If robots fight each other than I am not offended, or find it hard to vote it being on their homepage because the picture is base on fantasy. 

      Most of the quote didn't deter me, but when the question "What if you knew the Columbine killers loved playing violent video games?" it left me to ponder. I know Columbine was a big tragedy, and I feel for the loss of those kids. It makes me angry to think the Columbine killers could possible went on a murder spree because they were playing violent video games. Everyone one should know the difference between reality and fantasy. Video games are for entertainment and a stress outlet, not a guideline to massacre. 

    Obviously, it's illegal to hurt people, and there is sometimes where all of us get angry and frustrated. We turn to video games to release the tension we feel. We can put our frustrations into these fantasy worlds.
