Jason Risk: Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare

In the article John Leo talks on the Colorado massacre at Columbine high school in nineteen ninety-nine were Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris used pistol-grip shotguns “As in some video-games. The pools of blood, screams of agony, and pleas for mercy must have been familiar”(John Leo). The massacre was a tragic event having “two teens cackled and shouting”(John Leo) as if it were just a morbid killing video-game after killing innocent people. Then to end the massacre by ending their own lives by “shooting themselves in the head, the final act in the game Postal”(John Leo). This event awakened people to the seriousness on violent video games and the effect that it could have on anyone to influence them to do tragic things. John Leo believes that the “outlandish weapons, the cheering and laughing while hunting down victims one by one. All seems to reflect the style and feel of the video killing games they play so often.”(John Leo) the similarity of the killing games and actions taken in real life is too similar making people think that killing video games are the reasons for the shootings and massacres. John Leo also believes that violent video games can almost be as a dress rehearsal for some of the unstable kids that play these games obsessively and that don’t know the difference

It was a hot Sunday morning and it felt like a million degrees outside and I was ready to go. “YAWN!” I could feel the terrible aroma flying into my nostrils into my lung capacity as I yawned. “That reeks!”That didn’t bother me because my friends and I were about to start playing the most intense, hardcore, brain teasing game of the century…. TAG. I dashed into the powder room to eliminate the horrendous aroma and get ready for the game of tag. I sped out the door to

School massacres have become more prevalent in this last decade. As part of the police investigation that concludes the shooting, they look for a motive. The first thing that people are frequently told from the news media is that the suspect’s motive was from playing a violent video game, not that they have a mental illness that may have caused them to execute their mass murder. Sane players of video games grasp the fact that they are playing a video game. “Their ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality prevents them from emulating video game violence in real life” (ProCon). Whereas people who have a mental

Some people think kids shouldn’t play violent role playing games because they think it gets kids to stalk other kids, but i think it’s good because it promotes teamwork, strategy, and espionage, all three of which will help the student in the future. At St. Ann's high school a game lasts two and a half weeks and has built up a seventeen-point rule book, a map of the safe zones around the school, a judge, and an entry fee, all for a harmless water pistol game. In the end this was all just about Killer, a last-man-standing game of water-pistol ambush, just because people considered it a violent role playing game even though it teaches the kids a lot and is just a water pistol game and if you still disagree with me go out out and try it for yourselves

The story line behind some violent video games includes games in which players earn points by carjacking taxis, scoring drugs from cursing thugs, and mowing down pedestrians.(see http://www.feedmag.com/vgs/duncan.html>) Some cartoonish tag lines in some sadistic video games include : -- "As easy as killing babies with axes" and "More fun than killing your neighbour's cats". This kind of themes definitely influence the players, especially the younger ones, and inflict violent tendencies on them. It is no wonder, that this killing mania in violent games was seen to seep out into the actual world when a high school junior opened fire in his school cafetaria in Littleton, Colorado, killing two of his classmates. The gunman was reported to be an ardent fan of Quake and Doom, some rather violent video games. More proof of the relationship between video games and violence is revealed by a study which clearly reveals how this kind of entertainment affects our lives. Greater details of the history of how high school students turned gunmen in Columbine High School are given, which shows that the effect of video games in their lives was a major source of influence in doing what they did best.

In a world that is centered around technology and the media, it is no wonder that Harris and Kelbold fell into the violent virtual world of video games. Doom, the boys’ favorite video game, displays you as a space marine whose mission is the kill people on the planet. High levels of violent graphics and the Satanic imagery embedded violent thoughts in the boys’ minds (“Nineteen Minutes”). The video, Natural Born Killers, also put aggressive thoughts into the boys’ minds (Rosenburg).. These media images as well as hateful music, planted the seeds of the future massacre in both Harris and Kepold’s minds. In a world of criticism, Peter also turned to the virtual world to escape. His interest turns to HTML code as well as violent music. Grand Theft Auto, his favorite game, ranks points by killing innocent people. He ends up creating his own video game, Hide and Shriek, in which his avatar runs through the school slaughtering jocks, bullies, and other popular kids. (Helium)

These violent role-playing games are influencing bad behavior in adolescents. “High-Jinks: Shoot Out,” by Guy Martin reveals the dangers of these games. “All other players are anonymous, so that in the days leading up to the game the school becomes a souk of intelligence-gathering and disinformation.”(Martin) This quote is stating the fact that as the game gets nearer kids start to lie to each other. Lying is something that kids have been taught not to do since they were little. But when they play this game lying becomes okay.

Meow Media Inc. made and sold their video games with no intention of them falling into the hands of a troubled child. The likelihood of a mentally/emotionally stable individual taking action to endanger innocent lives in order to mimic a game is low. Learning and understanding right from wrong is instilled during an individual’s early youth. Depending on varying circumstances, the environment that a child is placed in may have an adverse effect on the child’s development. Genetic defects are major circumstances that, if not handled with care and caution, could alter a child’s reaction to his or her environment. In 1978, A Dutch woman took action to stop the vicious cycle that haunted her family. Her family consisted of multiple aggressive men that carried a long history of rape dating back to 1870. When she saw that her son acquired some of these familial traits, she immediately took action (Richardson, 1993).

“I feel like getting a baseball bat, breaking it over his head, and then STABBING him with the broken end!!!!” vents Eric Harris about his local weatherman on his web page (Anton 5). Harris, being one of the killers in the Columbine High School shooting, was called a “die-hard gamer who loved the interactive bloodbath called DOOM” (Anton 2). Doom was thought to be one of the factors in Eric Harris’ violent tragedy. The question is: did playing Doom lead to him being a violent child, or did being a violent child lead him to playing Doom?

Upon meeting Jason, anyone would believe he is the epitome of the all American male. He received a scholarship into his college of choice, plays quarterback for the football team, and made the Dean’s List during the first semester. Anyone would believe that Jason really does have it all together. However, just a year earlier, Jason’s father passed away from colon cancer. As a result, Jason has been drinking, and occasionally engaging in drug use. Before coming to Grief Group, Jason may have headed down a more destructive and dangerous path.

If this boy is the example of the affect video gaming has on children and teens of the world today then we must take a stand and eliminate the problem. Parents must limit or completely get rid of gaming and expose their kids to the real world.

In 2028 the human species were very technologically advanced and traveling in space was as common as flying in a plane. The moon was place for housing and vacations. They had placed a giant air bubble around it so humans could breathe without a suit. They had also been able to put soil on it so they could grow plants. Scientist came there like moths to a light. Digging into the ground they found a green crystal they named emeralite, since it looked like emerald but it could break like clay. Scientist melted it and discovered it didn’t turn to liquid but into a gas. In every story there is an evil person who wants to mess up everything. This person was Professor Vaus. He wanted to be the ruler of since he discovered it first, but there had been a mix up. He didn’t have a phone on him so would have to drive back to the lab, but other scientist found it somewhere else after him but he called the lab before he could get there. So it was as if the other scientist found it first. So Professor Vaus went to court tell them. The judge said that there was no proof so he couldn’t change who discovered it. Professor Vaus was furious, so he ran illegal, extensive test on it putting different items in it before it made a special gas. One was human blood; after he made it into gas he put it into an air tight box. Then put a lizard it, unfortunately it died minutes later. The next morning it was alive and was walking slowly in the cage on its hind legs. As

“I like video games, but they’re really violent. I’d like to play a videogame where you help the people who were shot in all other games. It’d be called Really Busy Hospital.”-Demitri Martin. Role playing games have been a source of fun and entertainment for children and adults. There are more safe and calm games such as Just Dance, and there are more Perilous games such as Call of Duty. Role playing games such as killer are perilous for school age children putting them in danger, teaching violence, and teaching reckless behavior.
