Had a suite mate in college who used to spend all his time playing “DOOM,” a first-person-shooter game. Shy, fairly smart, sort of geeky. Just spent all day in his computer world choosing weapons and shooting people. This how we become what we do.

Yeah, forget the millions (yes, literally millions) who play first person shooter games yet don’t ever hurt anyone.

Just to give you an idea how big gaming really is:

Videogames now outperform Hollywood movies

A BIG percentage is first person shooters. The game descendents of Doom, in many ways.
