WTF?! - Image 1Photograper Robbie Cooper shows us all just how focused young gamers can be while playing with actual clips of kids of various ages while they're playing games.Watch all the triumph, the joy of the kill, a little girl with no emotion - she cracks me up every time, and my personal favorite: "The WTF?! Face" at 1:46.

» U-huh

So these kids are what, like 10-14 yrs old and they are playing games that are not suitable for gamers younger than 15 or 18?







Yay, way to go. Age ratings are just for fun.

» hehe...

I was thinking the same thing....especially with the super young kid playing GTA while some chick on the radio is talking about sticking her tongue deep down someones throat....



But whatever, I played these games when I was a kid....and as long as the parents consent it's all good....

» NY Times...

How gey the NY Times are for letting a 10 y.o. play GTA IV: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/11/18/magazine/20081123-games_4.html



Also, notice that even though the video does have older kids playing games the slideshow pictures only really under aged ones (10-14) playing violent video games. I really wonder what the NY Times is trying to achieve with this *****.

» Ok...

Who's the *****er that voted me down?



It's pretty clear that the NY Times should know better than letting a 10 years old play GTA.



Plus, if you're old enough to care about these issues, i'm almost certain that NY Times has an agenda. They don't do stuff like this just for the lulz.

» wow

i hope thats not what i look like. im pretty sure i dont lick my lips and move my mouth around that much, nor do i look angry or talk to the tv. i do sometimes let my mouth start gaping

by FearEvil19 - 2008-11-22 03:44
» Oh crap!

I just realized I look like the little girl, I look serious when I play games (It's just scary xD)

» If you ask me that was all very poorly rehearsed.

The kids may have been playing games or just holding a controller while playing the games. I can guarantee to you that know one I know does that.



Though I will admit I do "sometimes" talk while playing games. Playing Unreal Tournament 3 on multiplayer for example while fighting someone else and getting shot with a rocket launcher in the back. "*****ing ***** has to shoot someone in the back." or "*****ing bull*****. I just *****ing respawned." Usually no matter how good I'm doing I always say something when I get a death.



I really do hate FPS games when you respawn and you magically appear right next to someone with any sortof weapon other than the starting weapon.

» Misspelling.

"know one I know does that."



I was typing a bit quick. I meant "no one I know does that."

I have no expression when playing games :|

by Vay - 2008-11-22 11:22
» expression

IMO no expression is when you are not expressing much, thus can be concluded that it is a type of expression; an expression when you express less.

» loool

It was funny how these were just kids and they were playing mature games such as GTA IV. Really goes to show that no one cares about age ratings but over protective moms and jack thompson.



My expression is usually just normal unless im getting killed over and over then ill be swearing and looking angry.
