[...]I had to learn to control my temper but two things helped me a lot in this process: 1. karate and 2.games. For some reason I always felt that games with violent content made me feel more relaxed and less violent. It was like everything came out at that very moment. [...][/b]

Whoa! Can someone pleeze send this to the press? The white house, Berlin, the British council and all those?

EDIT: I think it's the indicator that the kids DO differenciate between games and RL! (Don't want anyone to get me wrong! )

I feel a bit sorry when the ork boyz get killed in Dawn of War. Also, it is a shame to get teams killed in rome total war (mostly the mods). Luckily that won't happen so often, since I pwn in that game.

Given that I do feel bad about characters that die in movies, I do sometimes feel bad about the characters who die in games. I don't feel bad about myself if the character was to die of a plot twist, or he was another one of the tons of soldiers I'm controlling from my comfy chair. But if the character died because of my screw up, I'd probably just load the game if it won't take me lot of time to get to the same point again.

in one of the jedi games (Misteries of the sith or something like that), you actually need to kill the character you started with.
You start with Kyle Katarn (or something) and then in middle of game you switch to Mara Jade and then i believe you need to defeat Kyle on the end of the game.

i think only in later part you find out he is not really dead or something...

Whenever you mindlessly send you're massive troop formation in RTS or sending a squad of units into enemy city in civilization - do you really care about that unit?[/b]

The thought never even crossed my mind in near 20 years of gaming... :bleh:

I am glad when my units are killed, that means that they are used, not just standing around and means I have to build less supply depots/houses/whatever.

Wehn you kill one, you are standing before him (usually) or have to face his death, he's "live" to you. When you have to kill millions out of an office, commanding other people to cause these deaths, the ordered deaths are too far away from you to be able to think too much about them.

its different when you have a fork and have to kill 1 person personally. OR 5 people standing in a gas chamber, with some kind of button.

Hell no

Just to spam blast this topic: In FF7 when Aeris (?) the girl died, I was pissed.
Also, Neverwinter Nights, when I thought you lost Deekin because you got turned to stone, I was actually sad. I missed that guy!
