    Playing video games tends to make people:
    *More likely to reason and promote peace
    *More likely to fight and promote war
    *Neither
    *I have no idea

    Schell: Jackie Kashian: I am a grown up lady, and I need to shoot people. Better this happens fictionally, on video games ;) #g4c #g4c2011

    .@jesseschell Do violent videogames enable catharsis (fictional violence, vs. being violent in real world). #g4c2011

    @JesseSchell - Gamers aren't learning violence from violent games. They're learning strategies to beat the game. #G4C2011 #G4C

    Combat is a good game mechanic simply because it's grokkable and everyone, child to adult, understands it. #G4C2011
