shortpost: Criminal de Guerra

"
I mean, I've been gaming for 25 years. How many people -- or monsters, or entities, or robots, or whatever -- have I killed? If you add up all those gunfights, laser battles, BFG attacks, crazy Japanese RPG spellcasting deaths, throat-slittings from behind, starcraft pulverized by plasma missiles: Man, it's probably nearing a million or something. That's war criminal territory.
So when you put it that way, this idea -- that the bodies of everyone we kill just sort of wink out of existence -- is so hilariously pregnant with misplaced dread that it's practically Freudian. It's as if our violent games can't quite bear to have us face up to the dimensions of what we're doing. So they just get rid of the evidence...

Clive Thompson en un articulo de Wired

... demonios... cuantas victimas lleva un gamer a sus espaldas... no puedo dejar de pensar en todos los muertos q ahora son conscientes q tienen via libre para jugar con los dedos de mis pies y de paso con mi calma por las noches.

Aunque no seria tan injusto al final... me despertaria a tomar el mouse para hacer crecer la pila una vez mas.

:O
