Ah how far we have come. This video is a debate on the news from 1985 about how responsible D&D is for things like murders and suicides involving players of the game. I always find these old videos interesting. People have a tendency to fear what they don't understand, but fearing D&D is just so bizarre. I think we can all be grateful that this kind of bullcrap is over.

ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the phrase, "This is a game. Not drugs."
Did anyone ever follow up the research and 27 deaths? and the impact of other games on the young?
ReplyDeleteFYI, this is still a horribly common belief, especially among Christians who haven't bothered with any decent research. Sad, isnt it?
