Some of my favourite childhood memories are of my brother and I playing Contra together, tony hawks, smackdown, crash bandicoot and lots of other games. We both were bullied and family life wasn't great but when we played those games everything melted away and it was the only think i looked forward to at that point of my life. Now i look at what gaming has become and its sad. There are there whores who play video game games half naked and make millions in the pocess. Then you have these woman complaining games are violent against woman and shit like that and you see it effect the games. Look at the spike game award in 2009 and compare it to the nominess for this year feminism has had a major impact on gaming.
