I don't know where I'm going.

I have a bunch of quotes, sources, and test results from a lot of experts, but it doesn't exactly fulfill the criteria I have set for my paper. What I want are opinions from those who actually play the games and watch the shows; you guys. Let's face it, we all play video games that aren't Sonic. I know there are COD, GTA, and Halo fanatics here. I just want your opinions so I can understand the reaction from the people who these studies go against. If you want some examples of studies agreeing with the connection, then I can give you some links. I just want to know you're opinions so I can write my kickass paper.
	Facebook \| Twitter \| YouTube Hey there party people! I started a gaming YouTube channel! I'll be posting all my latest vids in the signature. Keep up with them! Sonic Crossroads 6 years ago, I began a fangame project called "Pure Shadow". I cancelled the project due to lack of time and other priorities. Now that I'm in college, and have loads of more time, I found the file and began to pick it up again. After refreshing my memory of all the coding put into the engine, I decided to use it to write a new project. Drawing out a new plot and new gimmicks for the project, I decided to rename this project called Sonic Crossroads. This project is going to be completed in Game Maker 8 PRO coded by myself and my friend who goes by the alias, MastaaFrederick. Because of our lack of experience in many aspects to increase enjoyability (such as music, artistry, animation, etc.), we want to develop a small team to work on this project. Anyone who is interested, please message me. On top of these things, we want to create a new antagonist for the story. We, MastaaFrederick and I, need a whole new character concept. We want the most creative fan character we can find, and create a sprite sheet for this character. We would like to find a character via messenger. Demo for the fangame coming soon.

They either think their child can handle it way before they really can, or they think games are so violent and horrible that they won't let their kid play a mature game even when at the age allowed in store policies.

I've always been pretty mature for my age. So I can recall playing games like GTA Vice City when I was 12. But my little brother (who has always been pretty immature and pretty much the polar opposite of me.) never really got to play stuff like that until he was 15. I'm sure my parents never thought that he would go shoot up his school if he played GTA, but he just wasn't mature enough to handle the adult themes in games like that. So I think that is something that all parents need to take into mind, just because ESRB says its ok for your 13 year old to play a game (T for Teen) you might want to take a look at the game yourself, and decide if your child is at a mental/emotional maturity to where they can process the things that are happening in the game. Same goes for if a game is rated M for Mature and you have a 13 year old who is pretty advanced in their maturity and can handle those types of things just fine. The ESRB is a great place to start, but I feel like parents should be a little more involved. Which is nice to hear for the next generation, our (people who are on this forum lol) children will probably more under control as far as games go, because we will be playing the games too, giving us a chance to play the game and decide if our kids are at a point where they can be subjected to it.
