MUD2MMO : Blame Gaming (Bi-Weekly gaming show)

In the fallout of the most recent school shooting, the media and politicians seem more than happy to blame the gaming community over and over again. We take on the question of "Why".

At the behest of a viewer, I’m posting this here on GameSkinny to see if ‘yall like it.  If so, I’ll start posting here more often.  I create a bi-weekly show (mostly bi-weekly, reality happens you know) that concentrates more on the culture of gaming than the “Nerd-Rage” review of the latest DLC for the sequel of the prologue kind of thing.

This episode was a request from a fan asking me about my thoughts on the whole “video games were to blame” mentality the press took with the Sandy Hook shooting, and the ones previous to that.  If you have show requests or ideas, contact us through here or the youtube / blip channel.

I'm a gamer. I'm a reality junkie. I'm a cynic. I'm a dinosaur. I'm a writer. I'm so much more than a paragraph can say. You want more? Ok. I started a video game show on the internet some time ago. See, I've played video games since Intellivision and Atari 2600 and PONG back in the day. Retro-gaming doesn't really fire me up as much as seeing how the community ticks. And after seeing way too many "I'm too young to have played this game when it first came out but it MAKES ME SO ANGRY" reviewers who would happily eviscerate my childhood for lulz... yeah I tossed my hat into the ring. the quickly scooped it back up, I'm told I have a bald spot that needs covering. Outside of gaming... yes I go outside shut up... I like to play paintball when I can. I snowboard a lot, when I can. I go mountain biking, when I can... seeing a trend yet? I prefer reality to video games, but at 4 AM it's hard to find a paintball game going on. Lately I livestream a lot, playing video games for an audience.
