A PS2, Xbox 360 and a Significant Weapons Stash Found in the Home of Newtown Shooter Adam Lanza

Kotaku - “Video gamer.” It was the earliest and most persistent label media outlets placed on Newtown shooter Adam Lanza, after he ruthlessly murdered 20 kids and six adults last December. But that assertion seemed to be based mostly on interviews with people who knew his family, and not hard evidence. After months of speculation, an FBI affadavit is revealing some of what was in the Lanza home and the findings include multiple video game consoles and a cache of firearms.

Be on your best behaviour, fanboys.

"The whole Sandy Hook tragedy was definitely the fault of the 360. The only games on it are shooters after all. Maybe if it had a varied library of different genres things would have turned out differently? Playing the same types of games over and over would surely turn someone insane. He seemed to be doing fine with the ps2 until he got the ShooterBox 360 no-scope."

Is this the type of response you're looking for?

HAHA! That made my day :D

If I could 'like' your comment, I would. :)

raytraceme4046d ago

Hit the nail right in the head. Damn 360 creating them killers.

StreetsofRage4046d ago

20 children get massacred and your cracking jokes?

That made your day?

Disgusting. What's sad is that Raytraceme probably meant it judging from his comment history. Look at all those agrees.

Nice work mods.

@StreetsofRage- his joke isn't about the actual shooting, his joke is a srcastic comment not just about the article but aimed at the guy that preempted some sort of fanboy argument over what was found (which would be pretty poor in taste tbh) so he's just put what the 1st guy to post was clearly envisaging this thread to become along with a comment to show how ridiculous it sounds yet we all know some moron was thinking about posting something similar but actually being serious about it...

I thought this whole Sandy Hook thing was a hoax. Evidence and actors playing parents and supposed dead kids were actually alive.

I have DVD player in my house too. Does that make me kill people?

Gh05t4046d ago

Nope but no one said the games MADE him do it Most people are saying that it influenced the doing. Considering no one really knows how deep his mental illness goes saying that video games did not influence this process is ignorant. However so is blaming the video games as the cause or reason.

They are just one piece of the huge puzzle.

DeadlyFire4044d ago

You don't think he got tired of the little kids on XBL kicking his ass and mocking him do you?

I know maybe its wrong to go there.

Also found:

Shoes, spoons, forks, dinner plates, a fridge, an oven, a bathroom!!!!

We should get rid of all of these things because of their danger.

Simon_Brezhnev4046d ago

I wonder what movies/tv series they found out.

RE_L_MAYER4046d ago

Twilight and brockeback mountain probably

NeXXXuS4046d ago

nah. probably my little pony.

rezzah4046d ago

He was a closet brony.

RE_L_MAYER4045d ago

No no.....teletubbies-that shit will drive anyone insane

Lazyeye794046d ago

They also probably found food there too, so lets blame food for his crazy nature. And a toilet, definitely the toilet.

Lone_Man4046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

the only reason about this mishap was that he didn't want to get socially involved and his parent didnt help him either...

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.
