You know, I figured that there was something going on here. Australians don't seem like a bad bunch in general.
One thing struck me as particularly alarming, though, when it comes to this Atkinson fellow:

As trivial as the issue at hand may seem to some I cannot help but think: Never, ever give people a reason to legitimately
want you dead.
Because people can be sort of crazy.

Definitely.
However, I hold to my theory that's it's not
GTA,
Call of Duty,
God of War, or any of those that are the root of the rage at the gamer's psyche.
No. It comes from a far more ancient and malevolent force.
Duck Hunt.
It placed a gun in our hands.
In our hands! Yet armed as we were, we were deprived of the ability to snuff out the real source of our anger: that hateful, giggling dog.
I think about that game, and inevitably it leads me to the conclusion that killing is cool.
