Player Start E17 - Violence and Video Games

  On this episode,  Miguel & Chris get more serious and talk about real world issues.  They give their opinions on guns (sharing some of their experiences to back up their feelings) and touch on the issues of the shootings.  Also, mentioning some of the topics and things brought up by different poliiticans and other figure heads.  For everyone listening,  this was just a topic we felt we wanted to get a few things off our chests about.  In no way shape or form is this podcast an attempt to change peoples views or challenge their opinions by making ours right.  This is a very big issue for gaming right now and we felt like weighing in on it with out thoughts.  With that I hope everyone enjoys this episode.
