  Maybe, before he plays Pac-Man you should give him a nutrition guide. You don't want him to eat more pellets than a healthy pellet-eater should. Maybe it would help in his real life. Regardless, it is unlikely he will become a cold blooded killer no matter how he plays any game. He does, however, look as if he may be headed towards Chubbyville. That is worse than him car-jacking and assaulting everybody on Grand Theft Auto. Real life is not video games and vice-versa. Most (including my two) kids can kill every alien on a video game and then still...

  just finished all the levels in Call of Duty 4. It is impossible for you to violate the geneva convention during COD4. Though your AI comrades do. At one point, your CO executes a prisoner during interrogation. But you can't do anything about it other than watch. It isn't part of gameplay, it's one of the scenes in between levels. None of the enemy soldiers ever surrender. Sometimes when they are shot and wounded, they'll be on the ground shooting at you, but they never put their hands up and surrender. There are no civilians in the game that I...
• SophieStar13 commented on Kid on Drugs
  @ Anonymous # 153: You are lucky if you've never met a kid who acts like that in real life. I baby-sat a kid who was worse than that. He would scream at me at the top of his lungs for no reason, swear at me, throw things at me, pull my hair, punch me, kick me, slap me in the face, and I was JUST just his baby-sitter, not a professional nanny or anything, as I'm only 16. The last (ever) time I baby-sat him, he bit me so hard I bruised for over a week because I was...
