Quake III really has no point other than mindless violence, so think of
it as Romper Room with guns.

Half Life offers you a vivid sci-fi world to be violent in while
you reflect on the evils of irresponsible science.

Rogue Spear is simulational, so you can see what it's like to be in a
violent crack commando squad.

Kingpin is so violent the developer apologized for it before the game
even started, plus the characters say "fuck" a lot.

Age of Kings gives you a sense of what it would be like to be God,
since you get to herd people around and make them commit violence
against each other.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I look for highly detailed human
entrails.

Not applicable. I cooked and ate both my children after a game of Half-
Life.

The difference is that games allow you to commit violence, while on TV
it's usually the government committing the violence. The only
difference I see is that in games you don't have to make excuses
afterwards.

Absolutely. I bet most of America's kids are one or two games short of
killing everyone in their school, just like they did when motion
pictures were invented.

Absolutely. The most violent adults are always the ones with computers
and lots of games.

Yoga is a great way to obtain peace of mind while keeping oneself
limber.

No problem.
