211. I started playing violent video games after turning 50.
I can get very violent toward my remote....broke many of them but only against my walls. So I suppose one could say that violent video games have made me violent toward video remotes and walls...I disagree, I think my problem started long before video games were invented.
Starbucks lattes are actually FAR more conducive to causing violence in folks than video games imho.
I know that when I drink one and go for a drive everyone is "IN MY F***ING WAY!!!", for instance. (I have removed those yummy yet addictive things from my diet). I am well aware that I have a patience problem, I am well aware that this is not healthy...especially if you are a video remote, a nearby wall or my heart...it is ME...NOT the game.


(No walls or remotes were harmed in the writing of this post, and since switching to decaf I have reverted to my pre-Starbucks courteous driving ways, still refuse to stand in long lines though)
