Aaahhhhh fuck you Chavez. That's so dumb. Whomever upholds that stance into the next election is going to get voted out.

Is anyone really surprised in a country where Chavez is in power some freedoms are taken away?

Isn't Venezuela the most violent place in the entire world? I guess you got to stop violence one video game at a time.

edit: yeah, I was one the ync before and saw multiple home videos they made there which they were burning people alive that they thought did something wrong.

I bet the end result would just be a huge black market for video games in that country, which would be hard to police furthermore :)

I remember reading an article somewhere by a gamer in Venezuela talking about how great it was that you could just walk into a store and buy 100 pirated games for 50 cents or something absurd like that. How times change.

"But I'd rather go to jail than betray the gamer culture, partially responsible for making me the person I am today."

An american 'gamer' would never do that, they'd roll out of their chair, get their mom to drive them to washington DC then sing some J-pop song (badly) in protest.

I agree with Hugo Chavez, video gaems are very violent this days, kids in argentina smoke paco (crack) in the streets and then go rob n' killing people randomly imitating GTA also the new Call of Duty and the airport mission plus killing american soldiers wtf :x

Those darn video games DO influence people's behavior. I once played Q-Bert, and soon after I flew to Egypt so I could jump all over the pyramids there trying to change the color of all the bricks one by one while snakes and purple goblins chased me.

I heard a boy swear on the bus the other week. I called it the downfall of society.

Put your hand over his mouth next time and tell him that you're keeping the evil in him instead of the bus.
