While I don't claim to follow any of the political analysts, I want to put it out there that this reporter responded pretty nicely, he was polite and brushed it off with a little bit of humor, to something that's pretty hurtful and a little mean-sprited. As the "reader", I perceive that the game is directed towards Huckabee's persona and don't really associate his actual person with the video game. But if I were the one being turned into a zombie and (or if a member of my family were) beaten to death, I don't think I would view it the same way.MattieK4https://www.blogger.com/profile/14507229385658350062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830057612844883385.post-74232460145311254152012-04-12T14:05:25.354-07:002012-04-12T14:05:25.354-07:00http://dinspinroom.blogspot.com/2012/04/fundamenta...http://dinspinroom.blogspot.com/2012/04/fundamental-misunderstanding.htmlTwo Guys who Review Videogameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129830447473842309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830057612844883385.post-32459835033333927072012-04-12T13:28:30.252-07:002012-04-12T13:28:30.252-07:00"some of the self-righteous elites who buy it..."some of the self-righteous elites who buy it will do so without a twinge of guilt over promoting murder, mayhem and mutilation of other human beings." <br /><br />This type of misinterpretation of the nuances of videogames is so incredibly prevalent in those people who have never spent any time with videogames. I'm going to respond more thoroughly in my post.

I find certain ideologies and beliefs completely wrong-headed and often hateful but the fact that we've sunk to this sort of "petty rhetoric" is sad - and it takes away from the content of the important things folks really need to talk about in DC.NewMexicoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606630990174684788noreply@blogger.com
