    Yeah, that is what parents really should have been worried about rather than violent video games. The first time I saw someone die online was way more traumatizing than watching a videogame character get dismembered.

      Yeah, seen a guy get his brain poked out with an umbrella trough his eyes while he was still alive. Got the image tattooed into my brain. Definitely more traumatizing then any kind of video game including postal.

      The moment of death when everything is over. All the horrible shit is done but you just have to sit with the fact this person’s conciseness is gone. That’s what fucked me up back in the day.

      Execution was a public spectacle just a few hundred years ago, and gory combat was just a sporting event in Rome… For the last few hundred years humans have seen less gore and dismemberment than at any other time in human history.

    My dad didn’t let me download The Offspring because it would’ve been a bad influence, but I was allowed on the early internet without any supervision.

    At that age I was playing Flash games on FRIV, a10.com and my country’s agame.com variant (gioco.it). It was literally all I did online, and all I did on computers.

    How the hell do you manage to find those.
