I know that global warming is killing our planet but not video games.

Ya, watching cartoons =/= playing games....

No mobile gundam creator... they aren't. Laywers are.
They are killing the planet.

this guy is a pretty big loser.

screw you ass and go read a comic...i won't be reading yours anyways.

Yep, that is pretty ironic but the real test is to ask him if he would give up the money he made from those games in order to prove his point: cut the wire and get rid of the games. If he would actually do it, he deserves my respect, otherwise, he's just another hypocrite.

Wow, this guy likes to sound self-important, as if he cares about the state of the planet. How about instead of attacking the current state of gaming he gets off his own lazy butt and make positive contributions to the gaming industry. Running his mouth doesn't help, anyone is capable of being an "armchair quarterback" or so to speak.

Lots of people *say* they give a damn about certain notion or idea for the betterment of society, the world and whatnot. But if you don't demonstrate or show any initiative to proactively work on solutions to the problems you claim exist, you should really go back to making cartoons, because clearly fighting robot cartoons help make the world a better and peaceful place.

So watching Gundam TV shows is somehow more productive....?

The only difference between evil gamers and people who build gundams are the toxic chemicals

This is yet another example of people becoming total ass when they become ridiculously rich. This is like, Michael Moore, who profited millions selling copies of his movies against capitalism under capitalist system, or Clint Eastwood, who profited from gun-fantasy and Western movies and spoke against gun right.

If people do something productive and don't waste their time watching Japanese space-samurai-armor fantasy cartoon of his creation, he would have not gotten rich and given opportunity to speak against his own interest in the first place.

Thank god I stopped watching Gundam after ZZ. The rest are garbage repeating the same thing over and over again.

Before anyone says

"Aren't there those Dynasty Warrior: Gundam games?"

The creator of Mobile Suit Gundam does not have full control of the trade mark as that belongs to Bandai whatever

Yea yea yea yea... And in the 1940's in the US is was comic books, in the 1950's and 60's it was Rock & Roll, the 70's it was Metal, in the 80's it was Rap and Hip Hop. Now its Video Games.

Im pretty sure Adolf Hitler wasnt playing Video games, neither was Manson, or Temüjin.

BTW, Im pretty sure all the Factories in China and India that produce all the useless plastic garbage for impluse buys, use far more energy then Consoles.

PS: By "Plastic Garbage" I also mean Gundam toys.

He's right about something... what's better than Tetris? >

I haven't played a video game since the days of the Atari 2600.

I actually agree with the guy. Video games do nothing for us except waste our time and energy. Time we could spend educating ourselves to better our lives or helping someone less fortunate then ourselves. This nation especially is filled with a spoiled rotten generation. Actually generations, as one generation to the next it's not getting better.

LOL maybe we should waste our time watching crappy reality TV LOL

It's pretty funny watching everyone "defend" video gaming. It almost sounds like when you try to tell a smoker that smoking will kill you, slowly and painfully and they respond with stupid answers like, "It's my body, I'll do what I want with it!" and "Mind your f&^%in business". Jesus guys, don't take it so personal. You know DAMN well you waste COUNTLESS hours spooging over GAMES. Just admit it, your life sucks and need a reason to feel better about it!

Well, saki makes wonders!

and apparently you waste your time preaching to the choir you self righteous bastard

i was fine with everything you said till you said our lives suck, who the fuck are you to say this about people you dont even know... man my life is very fulfilling, and i play games...and now you have an enemy in me, you really are an asshole. i am speaking directly on what i have seen of you, i am not going to mak assumptions about people... get a life and stop telling people about theirs.

Is that an LOL-sandwich? Pass the mayo, please.

The only way we would not "kill the planet" is if we sat and did absolutely nothing. Read a book? You killed the planet with the trees that were chopped down for the pages. Drive a car? You killed the planet with the exhaust. Watch TV? Waste of electricity. Play sports outside? Well when you get back you're going to be thirsty and drink water that our precious planet needs. You're going to need a shower. Oh our poor planet.

It's a good thing our planet can't participate in frivolous lawsuits or it would have a million ridiculous lawyers saying "You're the victim here, Earth!"

Honestly it's true, each generation of kids seem to be getting worse. Of course you'll have exceptions to this, but majority of these kids have become so spoiled and have lost their own ability to be imaginative. Instead of making their own creative little world or making their own little story, games are the ones doing it for them. I'm sorry, but if you see the kids that I see everyday walk into Gamestop, you would understand why I rarely play games these days. If you are asking why work at Gamestop then, well I'm in college and I need money.

Gundam games tend to suck (Though gundam battle assault 2 was fun) but I generally agree with the idea that video games are a waste of time

this guy's fucking stupid, if it wasn't for games we would be overrun with zombies right now. I know that i at least wasted over 30 maybe 40k zombies shit if i let those guys go where would be know? Besides he cant even play crysis.

so isn't TV, movies, and books just as bad? idiot.

Well, there are so many things wrong with what he said. There is the question about whether someone would be more productive with their time if they were not playing a game or if maybe playing a game made them more productive during the time they are producing. Human society is extremely productive right now; to the point that we have to consider our impact on our surroundings.

But just the environmental issue is disturbing. There is probably very few things that a human can do that have less of an impact on the environment than playing an electronic game (and I don't play games). Most other things such as biking, running, working, etc. cause a human to need more calories and produce more carbon dioxide and consume more resources(if you believe any of that is a problem) than sitting in front of a screen playing a game.

I had a thermodynamics teacher that made us work through the math to prove to ourselves that most of our assumptions about energy consumption and environmental impact were completely wrong.

This person should stick to whatever it is he does best.

And the millions who watches Gundam do not use electricity?

Ohhh no!!! I hit a nerve!! Listen, while you sit here bashing some guy YOU don't even know dont be so quick with your tongue you ignorant, foul-mouth pig! lol
I am referring to Mr. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM CREATOR. Jesus your an idiot. Every single person here who puts this guy down is doing the same thing he is doing. Speaking for everyone else. Who the hell are you to bash this guy when you don't know DICK SQUAT about him? Then, when someone, like me, who acts like an ASSHOLE INTENTIONALLY to prove his point comes along, you get your panties in a bunch. You know what, the guy is RIGHT. But that doesn't mean he has final say, like everyone else says, "Who the hell is he?"

Anyway, why am I the only one to compete against the commenter's? No one likes a little competition? Your allowed to say what you want... but I am an asshole for speaking my opinion? Grow up.
