I love how they add the word videogame and make it like the videogames fault. The person was crazy and killed an infant, games had nothing to do with it. He would have done the same watching porn or a movie, nobody likes being botherd while relaxing.

Kill baby while playing a videogame=WOAH GAMES ARE TERRIBLE AND TO BLAME.

Kill baby while playing farmville=WOAH THAT PERSON IS CRAZY.

See the big difference? It's the media bending it honestly. Not putting the person at fault at fault simply. The person who does that doesn't matter if they're playing games or not as games don't make people crazy like that. As for the sentence, well deserved although I might have made it an even 30 if not life...

Yea, let's hope he wasn't eating a sandwich at the time cuz it would be the HAM's fault!

Sure, but sounds like you guys are a little overly sensitive too.

The article is giving you a little extra background information. It's not like it is saying "all video gamers are crazy infant murderers".

Man kills baby because porno gave him blue balls...

*reads article*

"A Tennessee man"

Ah-well, That explains everything.

Also, why is it every time I read one of these articles, The best logical conclusion they can come up with for a baby to stop crying is to shake them?

ChocolateGiddyUp4568d ago

Did you guys read the story?

"Johnston gave a written statement saying he became irritated when the infant was crying in his bassinet, interfering with Johnston's playing of video games"

They're not bending anything. This sick bastard gave his excuse for what he did, and the AP reported on it. There's no spin here.

where the **** is the mother(baby's mother) in all of this?

Tanir4568d ago

work? store,? mothers house? plenty of places possible, it would normally be fine to leave the baby with the father, cuz well he is the father.

but not in this case, heck even if she was there he probably beat his wife too

Say what.. 27 years? That's not good enough imo, He should be in there for life.

My Condolences go out to the mother..

IRetrouk4568d ago

no he should be made to suffer, slow and painfull, i hope he gets shanked in prison, its more than fair, i couldnt imagine harming my children, my little girl is constantly pushing my eject button on my consoles while i play, the fella is evil and dosnt deserve to get to just chill in a cell.

How the hell does a one month old baby bother you during a game? By crying? When the baby is crying, you look after it not aggressively shake it. This man is clearly very disturbed and 27 years is pretty lenient for such a horrendous crime.

bozebo4568d ago (Edited 4568d ago )

No details about what game he was playing :O

It must have been dance central or something then.

The nutter needs more than 27 years tbh.

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.
