Immersion

Recently new york times magazine released a video titled 'immersion'.



Though there's a problem with it, one quite obvious to me as a gamer. And I thought as a result that the theme to the piece, or the message was about the issues of underage gamers playing adult games.

The games they're playing range from Call of Duty 5 to Saints Row 2 and are all games designed for and age rated for adults. Kind of strange, I was expecting this to be a pretty good message to parents given the climate of american lawsuits against violent computer games. It turns out that instead they seem to be condoning them.

All a bit strange.
