10 Awesome Ways Video Games Got Back At Critics

10. Video Game Violence Critics Are Called "F**king Idiots" - Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Video game developers have spent decades fighting the assumption that violent games are responsible for real-life violence, namely spree shootings and the such like.

And Ubisoft Montreal decided to voice their frustration in hilariously unsubtle fashion in their bonkers, ultra-violent, aggressively tongue-in-cheek Far Cry 3 spin-off, Blood Dragon.

In the early stages of the game, protagonist Rex has some chit-chat with Dr. Darling, and when the subject comes to video games, Darling drops this loaded monologue:

"Video games are a proven coping mechanism, like any hobby. They've been shown to improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, social interaction, and self-confidence. And no studies have managed to prove a correlation between video games and violence. Frankly, anyone who thinks games are bad for you is a f**king idiot."

And when Rex calls Darling out, she adds that the F-word is actually an acronym for "failing to understand our capacity for kindness." Boom.
