I have no trouble combining a totally pacifist attitude with playing the most violent games there are.

In fact they fit together nicely to be honest.

Now recent movies like the SAW series and things like "the hills have eyes", THAT makes me feel sick. Somehow that seems a lot more real to me. All of those movies left me with the thought that something must really be wrong with someone to enjoy seeing a a half naked girl being sort of raped with a handgun and then killed. The Japanese and asian cultures can be much crueler though, especially the crazy hentai with monsters and stuff. But as I said, the movies like saw seem much more real to me then video game characters or drawn anime characters. Perhaps this will change as videogames become more realistic.
