What purpose do video games serve except to add to a culture of violence in a country that's already out of control? You think that taking up weapons and creating gratuitous virtual mayhem has any redeeming value whatsoever? I mean, that the testosterone frenzy that it creates stops when the game does?
so men can control their rape urges
when i push the buttons the screen changes

The actor who played her is probabaly an old hag by now.
Shame
>>344746881
She was an old hag to begin with. Mulder was the attractive one.
>>344746494
I imagine Scully would be all "hurr vidya violence durr", but then Mulder would show her The Legend of Zelda and she'd be gone for a fucking month.
>>344746881
Bro she is still smoking.

Keeps dangerous weirdos homebound and seals their fate as society's laughing stock once and for all.
>>344746881
her name is Gillian and she aged pretty well
>>344746494
yes, because if people are playing video games they aren't actually killing each other.
people have always needed a form of competition and outlets for aggression.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_ballgame#Proxy_for_warfare
fear mongering is worse than a violent video game, crime has been going down.
video games always let people build friendships, express themselves, help others, etc.
you're also assuming all video games are violent.
>>344746494
>add to a culture of violence
They don´t add, they reflect.
>>344746494
How is playing tetris adding violence?
>>344746494

Why is Scully so fucking pretty? I can't take my eyes off her.
Gillian Anderson aged beautifully goddamn

>>344746494
i feel like american entertainment is some sort of cry of help, especially with mainstream shows that potray all the time how horrible shit happens and life goes on. it´s annoyingly super social but extremely disgusting and gross at the same time.
>>344747394
I like how she starts off as sort of chubby in the show but gets sexier as it goes on
Kinda weird to see actually
>>344746494
I liked that part.
I ALSO liked the part immediately afterward when Mulder basically told her off. "Testosterone frenzy or not, our suspect is a woman"
>ayy lmao literally came from xfiles
>the alien in the original meme was literally a kid in a costume in the episode
thanks Mulder
>>344747390
No wonder Duchovny turned out to be a sex addict.
>>344747914
Scully had some fun with substances in the 90's too
>>344746494
>>344746494
>>344747390
And that deepish voice, god... she's wonderful
Actors and actresses were more handsome/ masculine and beautiful/ feminine from the previous generation. Watched a re-run of X-files and compared.
As for OP, its escapism, simulation, and fictional.
>>344746593
Not only this, action vidya (especially FPS) improves mental and visual acuity as much as specific programs designed for these.

..not to mention social and emotional (stability) benefits.
>>344748478
How come Mulder has aged in the last 20 years but Scully hasn't? Is it because of her chip?

Yeah, it's from that episode.
I'm still not sure whether it's so bad it's good or just regular bad.

In a culture of violence, wouldn't vidya thatpromote this be good? Who says it needs "redeeming value" in the first place, based on what do you assume violence is wrong?
>implying violence is bad
>implying a nation of pacifists isnt destined to die out
>implying war isnt the father of all things

What makes you think Culture can be controlled, or ought to be controlled in the first place? This is much bigger than your friday book club where you actually just gossip who's fucking who in your tiny sheltered community; This Is Alive.
is Season 10 any good?
I haven't watched X files in so long, but I heard season 10 came out and Duchovny's back again, instead of being cucked by the retarded director in seasons 8 and 9
>>344749053
Some of the episodes dealing with new technologies were written to be like The Twilight Zone, and it shows.
>>344746494
>All videogames are violent

>>344749325
Monster of the Week episodes are really fun/good, the arc episodes are mediocre, and the ending will make you wish they didn't reboot it (a cliffhanger, you guessed it). BUT there's a new season in the works, so hopefully they'll redeem themselves.
>>344749417
>that episode with the cyberpunk hacker girl and the exploding trailer
>that episode with the gender-bending Amish bee aliens
In retrospect, there were some really fucking bad episodes of X-Files

I haven't seen much of X-Files in my life but the monster of the week episode with the reptile/swamp thing was pretty good, the rest was only ok for looking at Scully.
I really don't understand it, why is Scully so pretty? I want to cuddle with her while watching Tarantula and other 60s b-movies. I want to raise a child with her in a country style house with a comfy porch and every time I enter the house she greets me with her cute smile. Is this how waifufags feel?
>>344750431

This is not World War II anymore, pops.

Isn't it odd that the lowest test people tend to play vidya the most?

>implying violence is bad
but it is. self defense is necessary but that doesn't mean it's good.
>>344746637
You mean 'is' right?
>>344750624
Rather than self-defense, I want you to say self-offense. Rather than contentment, ambition. Rather than an easy existence, a hard one. Rather than the will to life, the will to power!
>>344750898
KEK are you quoting a self help book?
>>344750431
I am very interested in this philosophy, any books, texts or other works that develop this thought?

I wish our political overlords would get their propaganda straight, I'm experiencing some doubleplusungood confusion.
>>344746494
they entertain. and the country is not out of control. humanity has been murdering for a long time. its no different now than it was a thousand years ago.
>>344751115
Read Heidegger, faggot. Your lifting, "ambition" and "self-offense" are rationalization/repression techniques, the fear of death is getting to you.

We're living just fine without that. Charity isn't ruling to strict ends.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
doesn't try to force issues
or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
always rebounds upon oneself.
The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn't try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn't need others' approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him.
>>344746494
It's as simple as this: people are stupid. Stupid people make me angry. When I am angry, I want to be violent. Violence can be simulated. I can satisfy my murderous urges with a simulation or I can carry them out in reality.
Take your time deciding.

I could do that, or alternatively, you could go get punched in the face and experience the downsides of violence for yourself.
>>344751789
I know, what I meant was the formula. It worked in the late 60s/early 70s, but the audiences were far more informed in the 90s.

The shocking thing is that William Gibson and Tom Maddox wrote both Kill Switch and First Person Shooter.

Scully and chubby? when m8?
Im rewatching X-files like every year and she was never chubby even slightly.
>>344747764
She was pregnant the first season lmao
