Video Games Cause Violence

A scapegoat mantra chanted by ultra-conservatives and the news media whenever a violent incident occurs in the United States
Just one of many forms of Americans shrugging off accountability.
Damn dude, did you see the news? Kyle got arrested for beating up an old woman at the Waffle House. His alcoholic mom just got interviewed by the local news. She was blaming Marilyn Manson and Minecraft, on that whole "video games cause violence" tangent. When is she going to wake up and see that her son has always been an asshole and she's had 27 years to do something about it?

"Mom, don't come in. I'm playing video games. Let me beat this boss, and I'll be right out."

video games 

An escape from life, like (see weed). When you get back, the problems of life hit you in the face like a brick.
mother: why are you on those games so much?
son: Everything else sucks.

movie video games 

Video games based on a movie, typically released around the same time as the movie the game is emulating that no self respecting gamer, even if a fan of the movie, will willing purchase for themselves or another gamer.

Known to typcially suffer from poor controls, extremely short development time compared to other games and have elements found no where in the movie or lore.
Gamer 1: Dude why are you playing avatar the game?!
Gamer 2: My grandma got it for me and my folks want me to play it to make her feel good, I keep telling her I dont like movie video games to....

Old video games

Old video games rock. No matter how you slice it. Back in the day developers didn't rush to get their games out. Nowadays, when games are rushed for their release date, they lose features!! But thank god, many old games are still being played. Sadly, it only takes ten years for a game to become old. Hell, I know some kids who have never heard of Pokemon Crystal (THE most badass pokemon game ever.)!! Even the earliest Final Fantasy games are old, and still kick ass. I own a SNES and I play on that about twice as often as I do my Xbox 360. Sure, the gameplay isn't as nice on old consoles, but who cares?

I just beat MegaMan 2 in an ALL BUSTER RUN!!
