edit - Yeah I play video games with violence too, my point is that video games are a mirror that exposes a less brutal image of ourselves than we are convinced of. The truth of what we desire is as often silly or altruistic as it is selfish or violent, even in the realm of fantasy where the violence is unreal as everything else.

    And if childhood cartoons determined our actions, whole generations of kids would have wiped out the roadrunner population by dropping anvils on them (or attempting to, anyway).

      That many anvils… Maybe that’s wipe out the iron supply.

      Though death valley might be an even stranger landscape, covered in the anvils left behind.
