Don't people see games are as movies music and so on .. They don't make a person go out and do something as ugly as killing young kids ..
That kind of dark shit is with in the person not in a "video game" I play call of duty and dosent make me wanna go out and shot people .. I play Mario and I don't wanna go out punch bricks and jump on people I play kill zone and that dosent make me wanna go out and kill aliens .. Hummm wait a second that last one yaaa lol
Well point is games have to be look as as movies music and even books they don't make any one go do anything it has to be in the person and if it is in them playing or not playing a game in the end won't make a difference
firstly, i think using the word news when you're talking about the sun is almost false advertising. well, the same applies for almost any murdoch "news" outlet. ^_^
secondly, millions of people play these games, just because one person who had issues, who may have played these games, goes on a rampage, doesn't mean the game had any part in causing it, and even if in this case it did, that doesn't mean it will do the same for anybody else.
nobody knows what set this guy off, he might not have known. we certainly won't now he's dead.
i had a look on the fox news site after the shooting to gauge their view.
they had a piece about proposed gun control, they didn't offer any pro or anti opinions, but just below they had a piece about an american soldier who was on holiday in mexico and got arrested for what the mexican authorities were claiming was an illegal gun, their report said the gun was most likely legal.
maybe i'm reading too much into that, but i get the feeling this was a none too subtle bit of pro gun news to offer their counterpoint to the proposed gun control discussion.
like they didn't want to openly say they're against gun control, but wanted people to know they were.
but like i said, maybe i'm reading too much into it.
You can't acquire the same level of enjoyment from a game, so you pity someone who does? That's okay. I feel sorry for you, you've forgotten what playing games is about: FUN.
unless they're giving away something free, i think it might have been the sun, or the mirror, that gave away both series of Life On Mars, the british original, on dvd.
Blaming a video game for a tragedy like this is the reason why we can't stop these tragedies from happening. You're looking at the wrong things! You need to get to the root of the problem.
1. Parenting
Parents are to blame. They are the ones that can only be close to their child enough to know what is going on with them and with is wrong with them. Ignoring it and them or not doing enough to get them help is the root of the problem.
But these media people are parents, and probably bad ones too so they will never admit it's the parents fault.
Playing video games is an escape from the pain, not a breeding ground for potential killers.
I am sad to say that not only is it a real newspaper but actually the biggest selling daily newspaper in the UK which has been poisoning the minds and dumbing down Britain for too long.
Somehow despite being a "Family" paper and moral guardian of the country it also has a topless girl on page 3!
In the 80's they had a school girl called Sam Fox as their best ever page 3 girl whilst also reporting about sick peado's after children.
You really couldn't make up what this so called newspaper writes and pretends to stand for.

You can read it. But only if you haven't bought it.
English people are some of the most polite people on the planet and yet their tabloids are the most vicious and cruel.

And it was her mother who sent in the first pictures.
