Violent Crimes in the U.S. have fallen by 60% since Doom was released.

Since Doom was released in 1993, violent crimes in the United States have to 40% of what they used to be. Coincidence? Possibly, yes. However, the year Quake and Duke Nukem 3D were released, violent crimes fell by 4%, and a further 2% when Grand Theft Auto was released.

LOL

man, this helped make my night. lol. this and the bit about nintendo pwning sony up the ass. i’m just basking in the moment right now. red hot chili peppers playing in the background. just off from a few hours of halo. first weekend of summer, a great month ahead of me in which i will start drivers training. nothing can go wrong right now. hahaha! this is amazing.

I thought you didn’t like Halo...

And your school term lasted pretty dang long.

lol, no, i love halo. recently got live. live is so awesome. my favorite thing to do is bring two people over and with them and my bro go on training so its 4 v 4 teams. its so fun. we are our entire team so we are like perfectly coordinated. we dominate.

ya, all through that last week i’m thinking like “damn, we are the only school in the f’ing country that is still in school..."

Id upload a photo, but I cant figure out how to. Look on pointlesswateoftime.com and go to jack thompson is right. Its not what you think.

Wow... you got Live? Whats your GT.

Quite unexpected...

lol, my brothers friend decided that he only played with his xbox at our house so he just left it here, so now we basically own it. my friend from school gave me a like 2 month free trial, so ya, we’re online...for now. i believe our gamertag is derdev789 (it asked for a credit card number and my brother entered his in, so he said he got to name it.)

i never really hatted the xbox or halo. i think its zucas your thinking of. lol.

Yes, i must be thinking of the Wii fanboys... v_v

So... thats been you who is online as Derdev? Cool.

You prob never noticed i was on cuz the xbox doesn’t display when a friend gets on... which must explain why i can see you get on, but not the other way around.

Meh, hope ya like Live.

lol, sometimes. half the time its me, half the time its him, half the time its both of us, and half the time we’re randomly black. its so fun messing with people on xlive...lol.

Indeedly, Xbox Live is awesome.

yup. its pretty addictive, but i really don’t want to start paying for it...we have a history of mmo’s, and this feels to much like one...the addiction, monthly fee’s, it brings back memories....*shivers*...those were dark days...

Woah woah how did I get included into Halo or Live hate fans. Haha for one I love Xlive. 2 I love Halo 2 online. And 3 I could own all of you in it.

wait, really? i could have sworn you hatted halo....lol. i thought you like played live, but only random other games that were like not halo...hu...weird...

all i know is i live in one of the most dangerous cities in America.........Philadelphia.
