Look, I’m not normally one to get all hot and bothered by the stuff people that don’t play games say about game. But this rant, by CNN’s Glenn Beck? As a gamer I’m stumped. But as a gamer and a history grad, I’m…less than amused. It’s like a one-two punch with ignorance-coated knuckle-dusters.

but what i love the most is that he only says “your sons, husbands, boyfriends, can hire a prostitute, have sex with her then beat her to death with a baseball bat.”
i wonder if he realises that girls are gonna buy this game and play it too…
