But judging someone you have never met on their youtube personality is just ridiculous. I'm not saying you don't have the rights to do so. But really, you can't be serious?

Have you actually made youtube videos that forms into a "standup comedy" show? It seems like you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

So let me get this straight: You're saying that every day PDP puts on the act of a psychopath, but that deep down inside, he actually wants to take these games seriously, and is disturbed by them, but that he's so serious and masterful in his acting, that not even the slightest instinct of his real and sane self shows through, and that as soon as the camera is turned off, he hugs a pillow and takes meds to get over the shame of laughing at murder and ruining serious games, and that he only does this because he loves his audience so much, because he's somehow convinced that his fine-tasting audience would abandon him if he would get serious?
That's like a multitude of different favours of bullshit.
Nobody but a psychopath would freely choose to put on "an act" of a psychopath.

It's easy to talk shit when you got nothing on display.

You're just twisting everything I say. Wouldn't you put on an act if it got you one million views a day?
You already have your mind set on that PDP is insane. Why do you even bother arguing about it? Cranky old fuck indeed.

Yes, of course you're a psychopath too. You're arguing because you're a PDP fan, and because you can't see anything wrong with what PDP does, don't you? There's bound to be psychopaths attracted to PDPs LPs, and they're bound to respond to my criticism. In my eyes, you've basically selected yourself as a potential psychopath.

Quote:You see, things aren't that black and white. Different people can distinguish reality from fantasy to a differing degree, it's got nothing to do with psychopathy or sanity.

"It's just a game." doesn't apply, as part of every game is to imagine that the fantasy is real. It's one thing if you don't succeed in immersing yourself, but if you don't even bother to try to do that (like if you don't read story notes because character feelings or character motivations doesn't interest you, or if you would rather laugh at torture instead of trying to take it seriously) then that is not sane. Saying that you're not even going to invest emotionally in the axe-murdering and the executions of people in Condemned, is not sane. Actually, even choosing to play through Condemned, is not sane, because no sane mind would want to expose itself to that level of realistic violence for any reason.

"because no sane mind would want to expose itself to that level of realistic violence for any reason."

The point of a videogame is that you can do things that you cannot do in rl...

The reason we don't do such things in rl is because we will feel guilty, sorrow, compassion. We will also get in trouble.
In a videogame you know beforehand that no real being is being hurt. Therefor no compassion is produced. Please don't tell me you feel bad for a voice actors recording along with an 2D image made out of pixels?

But what you are saying is that everyone who has ever screwed around in
GTA or anyone who has ever played a violent shooter/rts/horror game or
even watched a violent move/video is a sick person.

Well, I guess you are the only sane person on the face of the earth. Gratz!
