Crazy Happy

About 3 weeks ago I broke Windows. I was trying to manually remove a trojan since I couldn’t find a program to remove it. Adware/Spyware removal programs and my virus scan program couldn’t fix it. I thought I had backed up the registry, obviously I didn’t.

Took me 3 weeks to stop procrastinating and get my system up and running. After windows was reinstalled, it took me 9 hours to get Windows where I wanted it. I hope to never need to do that again.

I’m sick and tired of people saying violent video games are bad! Everyone has violent impulses. Whether or not we act on them the impulses are there.Violent video games allow us to act on those impulses without hurting anyone. Matter of fact, I see violent games as a way to get the impulses out of our systems temporarily. After a particularly bad day at work its nice to sit down with Mortal Kombat or something to get the feelings out of my system. I was borrowing a copy of Grand Theft Auto 3 from someone, and even though I didn’t care much for the game, it did wonders for my stress level.

Speaking of Grand Theft Auto, I have a few things to say on that game. We all have thought of commiting crimes. We’ve all jay walked. We’ve all littered. Some of us even have stolen things. In the GTA games we can do much more than that. For most people it gets those thought out of our heads in a safe non-illegal way. For some people they blame their crimes on the games. I personally think that those people would have done the crimes anyway without the games. Sure, the games may desensitize us when it comes to crimes, but I’m personally desensitized from watching the news. I hear about crimes and murder all the time on the news. Personally I think the evening news is more violent than any video game. That violence is REAL.
