I rarely watch TV news programs, and this is why. Listen to TV host
Donny Deutsch who, together with Today Show hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and
Hoda Kotb, comment with there amazing insight on Men over 30 that play video games. Also see my comments below that posted as a result of watching this clip. This is what our social media class in this country has come to. A bunch of babbling talking heads with a national value of ZERO!
Comments I posted on 1up.com:
I'm 47. Twelve years ago the Sept 11th attacks destoryed my entire
economic life. I lost my house, my lucrative position as DM for a huge
furniture chain because the company went bakrupt, and all my investments
went into the dumps. I reinvented my life as a graduate student, CG
animator, and deisigner. I make a living creating book trailers and
doing magazine layout and design all ispired from, you guessed it, VIDEO
GAMES. I find the level of realism and entertainment value involved in
playing VIDEO GAMES like Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, and others to be
extremly healthy, entertaining, and inspirational for what I do. It's
also a great release from the grueling non-stop acedemia blur. From the
fictional book trailers I create for my authors to the 3d content I
provide in the magazines and book covers I design are all inspired by
VIDEO GAMES. And I make money doing it. What about all those
that have made hundreds of thousands of dollars doing game walkthroughs.
They quit their day jobs. You know why? Because the fluffy no-brained
crap most of the world is living is suddenly lost it's appeal. What a useless waste of words and
life these hosts exhibit, to sit around and sensationalize worthless dribble an TV. What
they need to do is create a video game that allows the user to bloww up
pompous, worthless, bar-hopping, pill-popping,
look-at-me-I'm-so-socially-cool, news copulators and celebrities, talking heads like these. No I'm not advocating harming people. But lets
face it, if a gamer can reel in 485,000,000 views, how many viewers did
these idiots lose for their networks. This video is viral with some very heated comments in the gaming forums. I say get back to the bar and
never leave, go suck down some more gin and tonics because your viewing public isn't impressed with your
silly banter. I personally think such commentary is a joke. In this case three
laughable jokes that tell us just how rediculous our media world has become. In the words of Peter Schilling, "One Nation Under Disney Land."
