Dear freind with all respect it whould be wise to think about choice of words because i my self was there and i made big mistake with it to that s why i share it with you how it can be bad for us because bible teach us about it to be carefull hope you will understand
Next i trained tae kwon do and this happened actually i did get many many hits thats  why i decided to stop training it because it becomed very brutal that it whould be dangerous for my body since i broken my hand long time ago that s why it was best choice ever i could make
About buying weapons is very dangerous my freind this isnt the way our lord actually teaches church also oppose weapons and mass weapon industry what s going on today and i can understand trough someone whould buy weapon just to use it to defend themself yet here in Croatia we dont function as Americans do remember what many apostoles did? they never did enything with force but with love just remember how Saints prayed for others when their enemies whould throw stones and stuff even so there was way later Holy warriors whu use weapons trough Knight templars

It sounds like you're taking these games too seriously.  Boys have played cowboys vs. Indians for generations ... or other realistic combat games.  They're just that ... games.  With the video games, there's no real person on the other end.  You're merely directing some pixels at other pixels on a display screen.  I played video games as a young boy in which I shot or exploded many opponent characters, but then when my dad asked me to pick off some chipmunks that were digging up their garden with my BB gun, the first (and last) time I killed one, I cried about it for hours.  I played one game where I was dismantling these evil beasts with a chainsaw, but at the same time I literally have a hard time smashing a fly.  Even to this day, I prefer to let a pest in my house back outside rather than kill it, and in case where I do have to kill it, I got out of my way to smash it quickly so it doesn't suffer much.

With that said, some video games have immoral themes in them that should be avoided.  I saw some kids playing a game where you got bonus points for running over innocent civilians.  There's also a lot of impurity in games these days.

By itself, fighting in video games is relatively harmless ... unless the person can't distinguish between a game and reality.  Now, your angry outbursts were probably due to the video-game addiction phenomenon.  It is, however, a waste of time, and it can affect your brain in a negative way.
Thank you for the answer my freind does this mean that its ok to play fighting games and its not a sin?
Also fighting games doesnt make me that i want to hit someone i never whould do this i was taugh to always show respect to other people i am normally polite yet there s times when i cant control my self yet it isnt fighting game what caused it its because of my disablity and ocd yet prayer helps me alot here sometimes its hard battle yet i do my best to fight this i know that our lord know that i have trouble in this but just as saint paul in bible mention when you re weak you re strong and how its not everything in how build you are like muscles but the heart as well like people say use your head not muscles

All things in moderation, especially video games which do present an element of risk to sin.  People get addicted to the constant action, the NEED to win at all times, etc.  I agree that martial arts or firearms is a more wholesome hobby.  It's better for your health to be physically active.  Angry outbursts, if you still have them, are a sign you need to get them out of your life.  I see nothing wrong with an occasional game, so long as the game itself doesn't contain impure or evil imagery or give rise to anger.  I cannot speak from personal experience as the only sorts of games I play on line are chess, mahjong, and spider solitaire!

About the impure or evil imagery what do you mean by that could you please explain in private message please?
And other i whould like to explain that i usally pray read about saints and play games in moderation i keep it in order train here and there i go even to park and its fun to have nice and fresh air this means its allright to do it this way since now i know what can be good and what can be bad for me
for example Grand theft auto is bad since teach stealing and sɛҳuąƖ immorality lust yet if is for fun driving car withoud doing this stuff its ok but problems is story mode is about killing people what s wrong  just as call of duty
Final fantasy teach magic very dangerous for faith right its bad to play a game with magic and where you use potions withcraft stuff
Also there s many occult video games i learned i have to stay away like Devil my cry,persona,digital devil saga and many many other games very dangerous
