CBS News' Game Core landed a quasi-coherent interview with Jack "Rabid Ass" Thompson about video game violence. In the longish Q&A, Thompson refers to video games as murder simulators, calls ESA president Doug Lowenstein the Goebbels of the industry and claims that video games actually create neural pathways that "enable you to perform more easily the physical acts of violence."

I think maybe what Thompson needs is a girlfriend, so he can work on performing the physical act of love.

Feel free to write in any "experiences" you've had talking with Thompson, I'm putting together a little collection of his insightful remarks: The wit and wisdom of Jack Thompson.
