Brandon Nadeau, author of 'Video Games Make Society Less Violent' says, " When i shoot someone in a game, i don't think, 'That would be cool to do'"(274). When he states this he is trying to tell the reader that when he plays video games he doesn't get an anxiety to do similar things as they do in the game.

Brandon Nadeau, author of 'Video Games Make Society Less Violent' says, "The same parents who hate these games are the ones who are buying them for thier childern. I guess they should be thanked for being hypocritical. After all, they are helping create a less violent society"(274). I think this very funny and also very true because the parents that give their opinion on these games wouldn't be able to do so if they didn't spend their money on these games for their childern.
