The Sess strikes again.

This was strangely balanced for a FOX interview, actually. I'm impressed on both sides. That said, it makes me sort of question the articles title, and the header image you chose, which I assume was a screenshot but was very well timed to make the host look angrier than he was.

Hell ya send those pricks at fox and the pricks in the world a messege :P

Adam made some good points in his argument. With the power of the new hardware blurring the line between fiction and reality, parents need to wisen themselves on videogames more than ever. Some careless parents like to use videogames as a productive distraction, and would buy their child any game they want as long as they keep quiet. The content in games now is a lot more graphic than it was in the past, and it's maybe getting to the point were you have to keep games from your kids period. If I do decide to have a child, I will try to keep games out of his environment as long as possible for the sake of a healthy development. Unknowingly using games as a means to develop your kids is extremely dangerous. I also think that developers should tone down some of the realism/gore in games. Some games are just pointlessly violent.

LIKE A BOSS!

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

Love both Fox News and Adam Sessler. So glad they could have a polite discussion. Fox News gets wayyyyy too much hate just because they don't jump on the liberal bandwagon. They aren't "fake" they just have differing views from both. And Adam, I say this as a respectful tip, please don't make a headline like that again. It makes it look like Fox was acting out of line or making ridiculous claims.

you know what i'm concerned about it's how the guy (news reporter) States "murdering people and shooting up a room" in video games. How many video games actually involves you doing that and for the enjoyment of killing innocent people? For the violent video games i play your enemies are usually Zombies, aliens, and etc. As for humans they are usually the bad guys and they are just plain AI's... truthfully i've never been affected by video game violence or aggression. As for the competition it makes sense.

Uh... man just thinking about this issue a person could write a book about there opinions... -_-

What a lad, well said.

Adams a smart dude, and a great, level-headed voice for gamers.

Good job, Sessler!!! X-Play used to be really good... :(

The Sess is back baby!

Thank you!

This was great. Adam Sessler is clearly a smart guy and I think he did a great job representing the industry in this interview.

Man, you guys REALLY hate anything connected to a "conservative" point of view. He didn't put them in their place. They had him on, had a good back and forth about the role video games play, and did so cordially. You should stick to reporting the news, not spinning it.

Adam Sessler always has good insight. Nice clip!

I have read many many studies concerning the influence of violence in video games. Mr. Sessler is spot on. While some do show an increase in aggression (for example when the general aggression model is used within the study) but there is no positive correlation between increased aggression and violent/aggressive interactions amongst ones peers. Here are two studies to look into if anyone is interested. I have most of these studies in pdf format if anyone would like me to send them.
1.Carnagey and Anderson (2005) The effects of reward and punishment in violent video games on aggressive affect, cognition, and behavior.
2.Adachi and Willoughby (2011) The effect of video game competition and violence on aggressive behavior: Which characteristic has the greatest influence?

Wow, The Sess looks like an OG O_O

Way to go Adam, it is good to see you still in the biz after you left X-play. I totally agree with you here.

calm and insightful, well done mr. sessler
