  1. Craig thanks both for coming, Destin for moderating, and us for watching. Kicks us out to prep for AVGN panel. SGC! WOOOOOO!
  2. Thanks Jack for taking the time to get here, us for sitting in. Both thank Screwattack. Shake hands. Applause.
  3. Mark praises our freedoms. Says we need to make up our own minds about issues. Keep our freedoms and not give it up to scapegoats.
  4. Jack thanks us for listening, attending. Says how he was warned for ridicule @ SGC. Knew we'd be a good audience. Thanks Mark. Applause.
  5. Mark asks if we have a problem with a parent knowingly giving GTA4 to their kid. JT agrees, morally. Closing comments. JT first.
  6. JT says that story made him want to stop GTA. Urges to draw lines. Mark follows up.
  7. JT brings up Ted Bundy's use of violent sexual material as his training manual. Warns that combo of sex/violence made him who he was.

  9. Said books like Dante's Inferno and the Bible more violent than VGs. Line hasn't been crossed.
  10. Mark doesn't think VGs are close to the level of violence in movies, eg Saw.
  11. QUESTION: What level of violence is acceptable in video games.
  12. Jack says VG companies influence kids' behaviors to get sales. Mark disagrees and says it's no worse than other media.
  13. Mark says population det's pop culture popularity. Says Zelda can have same legacy as Homer's Odyssey if population wants it.

  17. JT says it's not so easy, SGC is proof of that. Says we celebrate individual freedom/free enterprise more than other ppl. VG CEOs = bright.
  18. QUESTION @ JT: Do you think violent VGs are just an easy/convenient scapegoat.
  19. JT says liberty must be constrained by virtue and public morality. Says it's fine to disagree with him. Says July 4 best time to express it
  20. Mark responds: US has strongest freedom of speech. Says attempting to ban a form of media would just not work. Says other media scapegoated
