I was thinking the same thing, they show a druid hitting shit with a stick and talk about how it has umpteen million players and im thinking if a person had no idea what wow was and watched that video they'd be like "why do umpteen million players play it, looks boring, they must be weirdo's"

Its a segment about MMO's, they could have at least showed, ya know, groups.

*shrug* I thought the chick was adorable and never tried to act like she knew what she didn't, and the dude did a really good job of giving decent responses with some substance to the semi-retarded questions. I think it's absolutely hilarious that you guys think it's an atrocity that they didn't get more in depth when it's on fucking CNN. Guess who stuff like this is aimed at: not you or me.

6/10

She certainly tried her best - and he helped her along. It's hard to expect much from mass media on video games...

when presented with the truth, she immediatly spins the shock value and discounts the reality. pathetic.

Everytime I see one of those FOX clips I always think it's some sort of Saturday Night comic parody or somesuch. Then I realise it's actually serious news and I weep.

Sessler did pretty well in that interview coming up with intelligent answers to dumbshit questions.

I've never understood the Sessler hate either. He's actually fairly articulate and a genuine gamer, which is a rare commodity. I pretty much blame G4 for progressively increasing retardedness of xplay.

I still love his response to fox news piece on the alien sex scene in Mass Effect.

fucking hilarious. thanks for the laugh, i needed one.

that girl is clueless. why they take people who obviously have no idea what they're talking about and do a segment like that is beyond me. also, sessler uses his hands too much. gesticulating on TV should be kept to a minimum. it makes people look spastic. but i agree, i think he does know what he's talking about and i never understood the hate for him.

Yay, these are the people "Educating" our population...

I love how they have like 30 seconds to rip on the game with a person from the gaming industry sitting there and 2 minutes of circle jerk material where a guy talks about how he bought my little pony for his 6 year old daughter and wouldn't think of buying mass effect. Also, I enjoy how the parents are refering to the job of actually acting like a parent to their children is a freaking above and beyond chore. Fuck parential controls where they lock the Xbox out from playing games and watching movies above a certain rating, thats too much work for them as parents. I guess what those parents want is a kid that more or less acts like an animal, you get up, let the kid out for 15 minutes to pee / crap on the lawn, put out a dish of water and kid food, lock them indoors for 8 - 12 hours as you work, come home and scratch them on the head and play with them, go to bed...repeat next day for life of kid.

Moving on.

Sessler has major brownie points IMHO, you have to watch his interview VS Jack Thompson.

EDIT:

After watching it again I love this video, Sessler and Thompson get into it and the guy in the middle is like the third leg and he just looks freaking uncomfortable! LOL

Wow...Fox Media at its best.

Not to pull an IRB, but I'd be perfectly happy if some crazed gamer went out and shot Jack Thompson.

Wouldn't do anything but make him a bloody martyr though.

Hell...he probably prays for it every night.

I hope he has a stroke and is forever hallucinating as though he's in the world of GTA4.
