New media and video game personality Patrick Scott Patterson took to Twitter today to demand that Fox News bring him on its network to discuss video games and cultural violence.
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
for the past couple of days I've seen only on fox news s about gun laws and they mentioned Video Games, really.
Get ready for some ambush journalism.
Patterson talks too much some times but he's not wrong. There's never been anyone who actually works in the industry on a panel to discuss this alleged "issue" of games breeding violence.
'News media outlets like Fox News then noticed that Lanza liked Mass Effect and quickly accused the game of influencing the massacre.
Facebook users then left angry comments on the Mass Effect Facebook page, denouncing the game and accusing the game developers of playing a part in the school shooting.'
I don't know whats more retarded, Fox News for latching onto Mass Effect without even knowing what it is or the Facebook Fox entourage dropping abuse on Facebook.
I must have missed the part where biotic implants were available over the counter in walmart, or the mission in Mass Effect that had you storm a school and shoot anything that moves.
You really think he'd get a fair debate:
- Fox (and their fanboys) has tried to say they are "fair and balanced" for years but evidence has proved otherwise.
- You have hosts that will do whatever it takes to make sure they don't get smacked down with facts they can't easily whisk away with a shouting match (even abruptly ending an interviews, as they have done before, too).
- This is a debate that has a political tie in (Republicans love their guns, after all, and gun control has become the center debate of all of this), so of course there's going to be that hanging over heads.
- We've seen how smart gamers that know what they are talking about get treated in the mainstream media in the past.
