I agree that the comedy and gravity just didn't sit right but I think Mulder's attitude and silliness was overplayed on purpose just for Scully's benefit. Mulder knew that she was not approving of this so he just played it up for her. She was also having fun with this.

As for caring that the Japanese guy got cut up. Well, it just goes to show how these games can dull the senses where compassion is concerned. I think alot of people are concerned that these games desensitise people to violence and I am one of them. Although I would love to blast away some enemies in a game like this and I used to blast away enemies in my childhood sand dune wars, I do have compassion for others because I was not exposed to graphic computer simulated violence in my childhood as most of todays children and young adults are. Musachi[sp] was just a player in the game. He was popular as long as he was the top scorer. He meant nothing dead. He was not seen as a human being deserving of compassion just as all the other computer game combatants produce lack of compassion or even thrills when they are graphically blown away. I don't know if the writer intended this or not but I think that the lack of compassion for Misachi was an example of what these games can do to ordinary , initially caring human beings.

Stardoe geting all deep and meaningful here.
