I'm doing a massive research paper on legal issues concerning violent video-games and ran across Sen. Kerry's personal description of his gaming experience:
"This interactivity clearly - and I have played some games - not some of the violent ones like that, but some of the early ones, and it gets you going. It churns you up. You are kind of into it, and clearly for a younger mind to have that level of violence engaging you, I would assume, as a parent and just as a person, it has an impact on you. I mean, I can remember finishing a Pac-Man game and sweating, and there is an intensity to it."
From The Impact of Interactive Violence on Children: Hearing before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation: United States Senate: One Hundred Sixth Congress: Second Session: March 21, 2000 p 29.
Anyway, thought someone might find it humorous. Now I just have to find what W's favorite game was/is?
