You can read about the segment here

Watch the clip here

Or watch the full episode when it goes up on abc iview later (must be australian ip for this)

It goes off on a complete tangent about gaming addiction and cyber terrorism and is generally an example of terrible journalism.

Yeah I was pretty annoyed by it honesty. It's not hard to get two or more sides to a story. Put this into comparison with the recent NZ piece on a barcraft and the FC piece feels like garbage from the early 00's.

I would expect it from say, a commercial pandering network, but damnit ABC. They are better than that.

What a waste of time.

Sounds like something you'd see on A Current Affair or some other trash like that.

SHOCKING GAMING ADDICTION ISOLATES CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES. How YOUR child could be at risk!

He can go **** himself, we aren't all freaks, we simply do what we like to enjoy, and sometimes unfortunate consequences come from it, just like when Lleyton Hewitt needs to be taking constant pain killers to be able to walk properly

Read through that segment thing

Another gaming addiction article.

When are they going to write about 'retard reporter syndrome' or 'all i can report on is things that make old people fear for their kids addiction'

There was this lady on the radio this morning, who thought she was doing her kids good by not letting them have or near any electronics at all, not even a computer. does she really think that she's protecting her children this way. Why on earth do people act stupid like this.... god damnit

i also hate how they brand things like "dont mention the olympics here hurr durr" "these are korea's 'cyber warriors"

This should be on today tonight.

I swear to god, when I get my studio working again I should do a show just calling all these people out.

Talking about Jessica... "She's come along to Lim's team practice..." like she's just his actress girlfriend who's hanging out for the day?

Umm. Right.

Oh and lovely segue into gaming addiction... :/

What a joke. Do you think if I wrote a legitimate article with the opinions, visions and logic behind the minds of the top SEA players that we could somehow see an argument against this on paper? It would be good to try and submit it to all of these TV and online news stations.

Please do!

Do you think that if I actually did submit it though, that it would actually be given a chance?

You could submit it to The Drum (ABC's opinion pages). If they publish it, it will probably get quite a large amount of coverage.

That's a good question :\

Paroxysm · Tue, 31st-Jul-2012, 9:26 PM

I'll start thinking of quite a few questions to ask people like PiG, Mafia, iaguz, etc. and post them here before I ask them and then I will write it all up and post it here..
