Shrink: Doom Deprivation May Have Sparked Columbine Massacre

Video game critics commonly hold that violent video games, including Doom, contributed to the 1999 Columbine massacre. But an Oregon psychiatrist theorizes that not being able to play Doom may have been a far more significant factor in the murderous rampage carried out by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

Here we go again, another dumb crazy attention-seeking moron blames Doom for the massacre. At least try newer games like GTA... And isn't now a little late to say that. We already had all kinds of law-suits against id and now I think we should be talking about more intense and dangerous problems of this age.

Keep blaming video games it'll get you nowhere. Thats the dumbest most poorest excuse. Me, I love Doom!

did we eliminate the phrase just plain crazy from the english language?? Stop trying to blame every one else! the Parents, schools, and local police are at fault. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the two nut bars that carried out the acts

Nowadays, they always seem to be trying to blame something besides the person. They seem obsessed with it.

People need to get over it and stop blaming their problems on video games. For some reason any school shooting has come back on a video game. Sorry but it's not the video game thats the problem it's the screwed up people that shouldnt be playing them in the first place.
