» Tue May 17, 2011 12:52 am MBC did a news story on "game violence", focusing on how violent games can make children, well, violent. To illustrate that point, the program conducted an experiment: in a net cafe, it had the power on all the computers shut off simultaneously. The segment showed how gamers in the cafe began to speak in loud voices and use bad language.
...the report pointed out that the reaction was filled with cussing, adding, "They've been transformed into the violent characters they are playing."

That makes sense. I never thought of it like that before. Now I'm worried I'll turn into an italian assassin and start climbing up building and jumping into haystacks to ambush my templar enemies, you know, since I've been playing Assassins Creed 2 a lot lately.
This is a bit like walking up to someone who is reading a newspaper on the train, snatching it out of their hands, ripping it up in little pieces and going, WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY?
