Tivo Alert: Grand Theft Childhood Authors on Glenn Beck Tonight

loudspeaker,

true. but at least he does not have sir jackington the 3rd to cover his ass this time.

If every gamer was to send him a letter about how ignorant he was coming off then wouldn't it atleast show him that gamers aren't going to let him get away with his slander?

I welcome this. It'll likely make Glenn Beck shocked, but it'd be a shame if their ratings drop from the sensationalism not kicking in when the authors start preaching their views. Good luck doctors, hopefully you will be heard by parents.

They should bring Jack Thompson back on as well. So that they can put him in his place.

Nah, he's just there because they couldn't get anyone else. He and Nancy Grace are there because they fit the Fox News mould and CNN is trying to attract those viewers.

Hopefully Beck won't shout them down or tell them they're crazy, and hopefully they'll set him straight and correct some of the fallacies and outright lies JT said on his appearance earlier. Yeah, I'd like to think this came about as a result of the responses he got to last week's show as well. And it'll be interesting to hear his reaction to it if he decides to mention it.

Hopefully things will go smoothly :) .

Will this be available online? I'm not from the US.

I really hope they can make a stand about videogames, even when they aren´t really upholding the industry, but their research.

I can imagine Jack Thompson, comparing them with nazis or child molesters, because for Jack, in his little mind, he thinks that everyone who protect videogames are child molesters.

Oh, the conspirancy!...

Glenn Beck was ok on radio - but after he got his TV show, his commentary just went to the dogs.

Do they like put implants in your head when you get these shows on TV or with Major Networks?

Yea, I was very disappointed with Mr. Beck's lack of objectivity. The last stint was quite one sided. He did mention on his radio show that because of the gaming community's 'retaliation' to his show, he was going to 'rant' again about video games. So either the fine authors are walking into an ambush, or he is doing this as a way to say he is sorry for being an idiot.

maby this time it wont be such a cluster fuck

@Admiral Ackbar
LOL
I Have You Now

@ Rodrigo Ybáñez García

Yea, I haven't lost my hope that all humans are naturally good inside, so here is hoping he will not be an ass and let the gaming community have their say. If he was a nobody, I would not care so much about what goes on on his show, but a few members of my family watch, and I know many people look to this guy to tell them what to think of stuff. How he handles this interview will decide what I think of him.

Y'all were watching I take it?
yes
Did you see us fight?
no
TRAP!

Oh joy more mindless rambling from Glenn. :P

Radio personalities (and TV, too) are experts at controlling the dialog to make people who disagree with them sound ineffective. Changing the subject, interrupting, asking questions that make no real logical sense. They can leave many interview victims stumbling about and looking confused and frustrated.

This is what I expect from the Glen Beck show tonight. Hopefully, the Drs. are prepared and have some fire in thier guts. Don't let him talk down to, or over, you.

Any chance somebody will take pity on the non-americans and put this on youtube? Pretty please? =D

I predict Beck froths at the mouth and cuts their mic after 2 minutes when they don't confirm what he wants to hear.

Have any video game critics actually played the games they're criticizing? Beck claimed that there was rape in GTA IV (not true, in fact, [SPOILER] if you let Dwayne's girlfriend live, you can meet her later in a random encounter and beat up her abusive boyfriend [/SPOILER]). In another report I read, the "journalist" claimed that you could sell pornography to children. There aren't even children in these games.

Memo to Rockstar Games:

You have lawyers; sue for slander. One successful lawsuit against one of these guys and your problems are solved. I'll bet more people follow the trial than the O.J. trial.

Hmm...this might be worth watching, but I have a feeling Becky Boy won't let them state their case properly and will refuse to acknowledge their research. I'll watch it if I remember later tonight.

Somehow, I doubt that Beck will give them a fair chance to make their case. He'll probably bring along JT or some whacko from the PTC. Still, it looks like it might be worth tuning in to.

@Finster

I could not read it anymore. If I wanted to read fiction I would read Harry Potter right now.
