The rant that wouldn't die.
Back in November, we mentioned an article in the South Dakota State University Collegian in which a female student complained that Halo was sucking up time rightly spent with girlfriends. A couple of weeks later, we mentioned a rebuttal, by Lady Rziha. Yesterday, the Collegian posted yet ANOTHER followup, again from a woman, condemning not the attitude of the gamers who responded the first time, but the responses themselves. "In the time it took each person to write a letter about the game, he or she could have donated cans to the food pantry, picked up trash outside of their house, or have been a mentor to a small child." I gotta wonder... what could Sara have done in the time it took her to write this tirade? Next up - angry words from video game characters themselves, annoyed that people are manipulating them to make social points. It's a game, folks. (Louis Wu 17:41:50 UTC)
