Aftermath of Good Samaritan murder blamed on video games

Ex: "Another tragic death, another psychologist suggesting that violent video games are involved.

According to ABC News, on April 18th in Queens, New York a homeless man bled to death on the sidewalk while numerous pedestrians walked past. Most completely ignored Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax, 31, as he lay unmoving on the ground, bleeding from numerous stab wounds he had endured in the torso at the hands of a would-be mugger. One person rolled him over, saw the blood and kept walking. Someone even stopped to take a picture of Tale-Yax on their mobile phone before continuing on their way."

If you grow up watching violent movies it doesn't mean you're going to leave a man to die on the streets. These people are just too absorbed with themselves to help out another human being.

Scumbags is right. They should track down every single of these people because they share responsibility in this man's death.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I'm with darkride66 I've played and watched many violent video games and such, yet I do quite a bit of charitable things and do whatever I can to help if someone is down.

The main problem with society is just being self-absorbed as darkride stated. Not only that, but also finding that personal life goals are much farther ahead than another person's life especially if they are not family or even immediate family.

Sad state, but I guess that is how life is becoming. Though would I go so far as to track them down because they didn't save the man's life? Well who knows, a few I would though especially the person who took the picture that's just low...

smh, only in nyc

sometimes it sux living out here. As bad as the homeless makes u hate riding the train, when did we lose our compassion to help our fellowman in need?

HolyOrangeCows5113d ago

Great, more people blaming video games for violence. I guess we're just so darn stupid we can't tell the difference between pixels and flesh anymore, right? DERP DERP DERP.

Luke...use the power of knowledge.

This reminds me of the problems rap had when it started to get big.

ryuyasho5112d ago

Battle Angel Alita comes to mind... it's so sad that we're becoming just like the Manga, like if it was prophesied back in 1990. Media shouldn't be blaming Video Games, they should be blaming themselves for producing the garbage we see in TV, specially those "Reality" Shows which everybody in it are all for themselves, bashing the living crap outta each other... I mean WTF are they teaching to the kids(The Future)???

So, were talking about the passerby and not the killer?

Man In Black5113d ago

The killer for obvious reasons, and the passer-bys for not doing a damn thing to help the guy.

Myst5113d ago

I remember this being discussed on a forum I usually visit. One of members had stated that it is perhaps the thought of 'Oh, someone else will do it.' going through the minds of those who pass by. As many people as there are in New York this could be a prevalent thing out there [not sure never been]. With multiple people passing by and doing nothing they are all probably thinking one of them will do something.

RosoTron365113d ago

Karma's a b!7cH. Those passerby will feel the irony when the time comes... That's just horrible.

BrianC62345113d ago

I blame the nightly news. They've been showing carnage and destruction for decades. They're to blame.

Then again, maybe New Yorkers just don't care.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
