Swords... poison... spells... battles...maiming... killing!
Hat tip to the Jessica for this one. Harrassment by those against video games, role-playing games, collectible card games or any other healthy form of entertainment has been an annoyance of mine since Dana Rohrabacher and friends were telling me we would all go Tom Hanks and try to fly off the World Trade Center or something.
It is interesting the majority of my gaming compatriots when I was younger are much more advanced (in general) in their careers and/or relationships (err, except for me) than those who didn't game with us.
Of course, the only problem with attacks like those in the story above is now technology gives every geek more power than 100 would-be censors. (Or, in terminology floating around the blogosphere in the last couple of days, we are an army of Davids) It is telling that in the story above it is the gamers who end up donating to a worthy cause while the weasel weasels out of it.
Advantage: Gamers
