Ever wonder what it feels like to be inside a game?? There's full of surprises inside of it... As an avid fan of video games, i've explored a lot of different things by playing these video games. It may be fantasy, science fiction, reality, combat, role-playing, first-person shooter or any game genres. But the common thing is, how does a video game really affects us psychologically...
Wala lang bigla ko lang naisip sumulat ng blog about sa video games. Mostly, ang gusto ko talagang i-emphasize dito yung mga violent games, 'cause recently, there has been killings again around the world inspired by video games, specifically first-person shooter games. Yung mga barilan. Naeexercise yung utak ng isang player kung papano kumilos, dumiskarte, at lumaban ang isang gunman. Ako, mahilig, as in mahilig din ako sa first-person shooting games. In fact, the first video game that i loved so much was Quake. But the first time i played it, i got horrifically terrified.. Creepy kasi talaga yung environment. Nostalgic na Claustrophoic. Parang habang nilalaro ko, ang hirap huminga. Matagal din bago ako nakaalis sa ganong pakiramdam, kasi later lon i realized, it's just a game, what's to be terrified in these things??
Tumatagl-tagal, nasanay na ako at i make it to a point na at least twice or thrice a week, makakapaglaro ako. Aaminin ko, i once became an addict for these games, and i don't know when i will stop. Hanggang ngayon naman, i still have the passion on playing it, its just that i can't find the time, especially right now i have other responsibbilities and priorities..
Balik tayo sa topic. I've read an article in the newspaper that there's an argument if the majority of video gamers are adults or kids. To think about na sa studies nila, 40-50% ng gamers eh babae, in the ages 31 to 33 years old.. Imagine that. Pero recently, gumawa ulit ng studies and they revealed that its not the adults they were concernerd about, it's the large portion of children who played these kind of games. That is the issue.
Alam naman ninyo siguro yung mga naging balita sa US na may mga estudyante na namaril ng mga kaklase at mga faculty members. One example is the April 1999 Columbine High School Massacre, initiated by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Killed 12 students and a teacher. Inspired by the then, the most popular, yet the most controversial first-person shooting game. The game that started it all - Doom. That game has been one of my favorite games of all time, but becauce of the violence and gore it depicts, i don't encourage my younger brother to play it. Doom has become highly-acclaimed. Creating a lot of firsts in the game. But the problem is, it is widely criticized by the parents and the religious groups. A simple background of the game for the benefit of the readers: It starts in Mars, where there was a science lab built by the humans to conduct secret experimentations on teleportation between the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. And then something stupid happened while performing an experiment, causing a lot of trouble... And all hell breaks loose.. Siguro mapapagana nyo na imagination nyo kung ano ibig kong sabihin sa "all hell breaks loose". And that's what caused a worldwide debacle about the violent game influencing the kids today.. Hindi din talaga kasi appropriate sa kanila yung ganung game, especially when they're in their tender young years. Iba ang interpretation ng mga bata sa nakikita nila habang mura pa ang kanilang mga isipan.
There's another exceptional game in terms of violence, and i also experienced to play it - the Grand Theft Auto franchise, specifically, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This one sure is a hell of a violent game. It's more based on reality, so karamihan ng mga naglalaro, nakakarelate sa nangyayari dito. Madaming missions, madami ding bad guys, madaming counterfeits, bast, lahat ng pwedeng mali nandun sa game na yun. Yun yung tipo ng game na cannot be recommended for kids and also for teens.. Exploring age kasi un, yung tipong curious sila sa lahat ng bagay gusto nilang subukan lahat. So the game provokes a lot of things to do... Very vicious and brutal things to do.. So, in June 2003, a teenager named Devin Moore, 17 years of age, was brought in for questioning to a Faýette police station regarding a stolen vehicle. Moore then grabbed a pistol from one of the police officers and shot and killed him along with another officer and dispatcher before fleeing in a police car. He was then captured and tried for murder. He was then found guilty and sentenced to death because of his actions... Imagine that.
Evéry video game creates a very different pyschological effect on whoever plays it. Parent's guidance in their children plays a vital role on preventing something to happen. On the adult's side, discipline is the most important thing. Alam niyo up to now, avid fan pa rin ako ng first-person shooting games. Hindi nawawala yung zest ko sa paglalaro, kasi dyan ako nakakapagrelax. But i have no plans on wreaking havoc on the community. I'm not dumb. So, for those who would like to try these kind of "thrill ride" in your life, you better be ready. Better set your mind in a good mood, and everything will be well. So, dito na lang muna blog ko, at maglalaro pa ako ng Doom 3.. (Ehehe, joke lang, di ko pa naiinstall eh...) Good day!!!
