My dad said he read an article that said they played Final Fantasy VII, and
seemed to use it as an example of what is bad about video games and RPGs.
My (extended) family in Indiana think I am really disturbed for playing AD&D.
One of my Aunts got mad at me when I ran a solo adventure with her son. She
claimed a family friend's son killed himself over it. I really hate it when
people blame the media (TV, games, etc.) for murders/suicides. They just don't
want to face the fact that they may have made a mistake or missed some sort of
warning sign.
