Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Kate Lynch. In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the research that claims playing violent video games leads to aggression, antisocial behavior, and violent crime. The gang examine the evolution of "violent video games" as a political issue in the United States, why so much of the research is flawed,  and the motivations of the people and organizations behind the studies. Topics discussed include:  a video game based on C. Everett Koop, the relationship between video games and sass, and the chilling relationship between violent video game studies and police violence.

Sure GTA gets the headlines for its love of anarchy but the vast majority of games these days actually have complex moral choices built into the storylines, and those games are having a positive effect on moral reasoning in adolescents, a study from Bournemouth University psychology professor Sarah Hodges finds. We take a look at her methodology, why it argues in favor for ESRB ratings (in some cases) and why video games have a stronger positive effect than a negative one when it comes to moral reasoning.
