In God I Trust, In Games I Kill, Murder, Multilate, etc

- Never Stop Dreaming -

Here one for the really religious people...that is if you like games. As we all know that games are usually an alternative form of entertainment but to some, it might just be an alter-ego to achieve gratifications that are not possible in real life. So being an avid gamer and not that a religious believer, came across a recent entry on QJ Net that questions this illusive form of violence.

The question being impose was, "Is killing in video games a sin?" While there is an obvious answer that clearly defines reality and fiction, the next time you visit your church, or any other religious sanctions that you belong to, ask the most revered pastor, holy man, monk, etc whether killing and murdering in video games is a sin. I am pretty sure there will be some really over the top answers that would probably see reality and fiction as a single entity. Now that would be one really hilarious answer I would want to hear...

Aside from this, if you grew up during the 80s and have been fiddling with Nintendos and Segas then here is a really cool update. In the upcoming Street Fighter IV game, for the first time in history, Ryu and Ken's master who so happens to be Akuma's brother will be featured as a CPU controlled character aka Gouken.
