Another Videogame Webcomic... Is that really all they could come up with?

... How can anyone take this game seriously?

Down with Corpse Run and Nerd Rage!

Methinks you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and set out on a witch hunt today... Alas, you are finding offenses where they don't exist.

Honestly, that's like saying "I don't think I can look past all the glaring similarities to Call of Duty/Halo" every time a new FPS comes out. FP puzzlers are a thing, Portal just happens to be one of the first.

I agree with you 100%. That's the kind of answer I would have liked to see on Twitter.

Loaded questions can still be appropriately diffused by people who understand logic. And again, as someone who thinks that violence in video games is ok, I still think that a question like this is worth asking ourselves, even if the source is being antagonistic. Is there anything positive about it, or is it just…

Not all games are about war, and not all games are about the mob. She wasn't asking about "the positives of violence in a FPS." There are plenty of stories to be told in video games that don't require explicit violence to provide a challenge, or to tell a story. Take Bioshock Infinite, for example. I loved that…

She may not be asking the most *pressing* question, but if anything is tangential, it's an answer that doesn't address the original query directly. And if violence is a tool contributing to the creation of conflict in a game, asking about the positive aspects of its use may indeed be worth asking, especially when…

Like I said, some did a great job of addressing it, and I appreciated that. That was one of the best answers for sure.

I love a violent video game as much as the next guy/girl, and there were a couple responses up there that I really appreciated. However, I think the vast majority of these "positive" responses completely missed answering the question. They tried to address why video games are good, not how violence in them can be…

Wow, perfect! Now they just need to give us more incentive to use those. haha

Agreed! They should add underwater cities, too. If you could enchant helmets to provide an enhance oxygen supply underwater, that'd make for some fantastic exploration (especially if you had to fight hostile mer-people).

I think I agree with most of this guy's points. I really enjoy Minecraft as it is, but a lot of what he suggests could really drastically improve the game, especially the issue with ocean mobs. There's so much water in the world, I think the game would really benefit from the ability to build functional ships…

Yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen someone liken it to 90s material. Chris britta'd it.

How exactly did that system "drag down" Bioshock?

I usually mention the Wii U just to see how they respond. They usually have no clue what I'm talking about, as expected.

You're absolutely right, and I think it's horrific. The fact that it's wide-spread doesn't mean we should put up with it. If that was how everyone treated socially acceptable atrocities, the Civil Rights movement never would have happened.
