It is not the violence in the video game that makes people throw the controllers, it is losing that makes people throw controllers. People do not throw controllers while they are winning, only when they lose, and this happens in non violent games such as Tetris as well. And not everyone throws controllers...

So now you claim research is "irrelevant" because it is old? Nevermind the fact that the book I quoted was published last year by someone with way more credentials then you, there's nothing more annoying in a discussion then a douche who condescendingly uses informal fallacies to justify his wild unsubstantiated…

It was created by a studio owned by THQ...

SCREW HOMEWORLD WHERE IS DESCENT?

And what exactly is the main point you were trying to make? Violent media does not cause violent behavior. This is a fact. Correlation does not imply causation, trusting random claims with no evidence to back them up is un-scientific, and demanding proper use of science is not "a childish defensive attitude".

That is your problem, you lack understanding. 'Introspection' is a vedic religious concept that has been adapted to modern psycho-psychology. It is not a scientific endevor; it is a metaphysical one.

Introspection is a religious act, not a scientific one. Without science to prove your beliefs all you have is Faith; the act of believing unverified claims without a shred of evidence.

And what exactly is your argument? People should accept random claims with no scientific evidence to back them up?

Remember those gladiatorial games where real live people battle to the death, in an arena or perhaps a colosseum, for the entertainment of a live audience?

By that logic, claiming there is a problem without any proof is much what Hitler said about the Jews back at the Nuremberg Rally debacle.

Well in that case, someone could claim your hateful internet posts cause violence, and it would be your responsibility to prove that they do not.

The burden of proof is on the accuser.

I guess you missed the gameplay video where it showed that combat in TESO was almost exactly the same as combat in every other Elder Scrolls game since Battlespire?

Except it doesn't have a hotkey based system lifted from wow. It has hotkeys.

It is going to be a lot like TOR, but with swords and daedra. It uses the same engine after all.

TESO is going to be very much a pvp driven game.

What open world pvp mmos have you played, might I ask?

When the xbox 360 was released in 2005 it was equivalent to a low end computer; The xbox 360 had 512 mb of ram, a 3.2ghz triple core cpu which would bench about the same as an amd athlon II x3 cpu, and a graphics card equal to about a radeon HD 3450.

First off, just because they were 'forced' to run it, doesn't mean they are not running it.
