Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
My favourite, and yes I have to admit that since
discovering the Bungie site I have developed a habitual need to watch
the numbers scroll by, are the detailed enemy kill counts. 135,012
Wraiths destroyed, 79,555 banshees downed, 585,645 Grunt Specialists
killed and 767,118 Brute Leaders defeated.
My worry, now that news of these figures and
that truly astonishing total kill count has leaked out into the real
world, is that those who would burn all video games will use it to
further their cause.
There is no doubt in my mind that video games like Halo 3 are great
entertainment, and just a logical progression from playing cowboys and
indians with home made bows and very dangerous stick arrows as many of
us old timers used to do.
However, the graphical nature of the on-screen violence and the total
removal from the real world consequences of unleashing it, have to at
least leave food for thought. Especially with so many aliens being hurt.
