Video Games and Violence: Danger in Unfettered Anger?


Listen Later

Forgive the borderline clickbait title. Spoiler alert, we didn't really discover any danger. But anyway, listen in as my guest and I explore the topic in more detail!

Both of us have fairly strong opinions on the subject, but join us as we attempt to take on the role of devil's advocate and see if there really could be a case to be made in the idea that exposure to violent video games could correlate with an increased likelihood to be violent in real life. Last episode, my guest and I explored what seemed to be two relatively standard experiences with video games. This time, we explore what effect video games may have had on a former teenager with some issues dealing with his anger.
