Rush Limbaugh has defended video games on his radio show saying they are not responsible for the violent actions of the school shooters and other similar violent acts among young men and women. In related news, hell has frozen over. I'm glad there is a major player in politics who has come out and defended video games. While he does mention that video games may desensitize people from the violence, he indicates that people are looking for a quick fix where it does not exist. As a frequent gamer myself, I absolutely hate it when people chalk violence up to the violent nature of video games. I love all video games, but especially the ones where I walk through room after room blasting zombies/aliens/mutants without reserve. However, in real life I hate guns with a passion and the one time I went shooting I hated it so much I asked to leave early.
