Sound Off continued plaint that we were too hard on it as well. Our reviews allow a range in terms of scoring the points based on the reviewer’s impressions. In this case it was me. We also acknowledge that we are human and can make mistakes. So if you would please provide specific content, and the corresponding section of our review scale we can put it into a re-review. We allow each reader to recommend one game per year to go into re-review. And any game can only go into re-review once a year. Almost every single game that has gone into rereview (and there have been a handful) drop in score by a point or two. So I doubt it would drop below 70, but its possible.
Just Entertainment How can anyone think movies, television, and video games are just entertainment? Are they stupid? Are they lazy? Have they ignored good books on the subject? Do they have a mental illness? - Samantha {Paul}: Thank you for such a thought provoking question. It can be a complex issue, where some people may fit into all of the categories you mentioned. I would not be surprised if we found different people in different categories. Here is how I look Family Friendly Gaming
at it. There are certain lies in the world that people believe. They believe them because they want to fit in with the incrowd, they have never been exposed to truth, they do not think for themselves, and they have never had an interest in researching it. I have met people in my life that openly admit they are lazy. They expect everything to be brought to them. They want God to be some performing monkey that comes when they call, and on their terms. This is a high form of arrogance. Closely tied to the entitlement mentality some in our culture have. A big part of the problem is there are too few voices out there exposing this as a lie. We get all these school shooters and the industry is quick to try and divert attention. Some people watch Star Wars and decide they want to create a religion off of what was in there. Most people look at them as complete freaks. Yet the idea was not there own. Someone else brought the idea to their
minds, and they ran with it. You would be amazed how many times I have heard people tell me Video Game Lies opened their eyes. Because the concepts and content in Video Game Lies can be applied to other areas of life. I thank God that I could be used to free each and every single one of them from that bondage. It is an honor that following God’s plan for my life can help others. I have hope for those dogmatically stuck into the lies of the world. I also know it can get tiring to point some people to truth, and they just repeat the same lies over and over again. At some point you have to leave it in God’s hands. Some people just want to argue. They want to try and get you into the gutter with them. Resist the urge to follow them into the gutter. Better to tell them move along, have a nice life, we are done talking about this, etc. Would you like to be heard in Family Friendly Gaming?
