Game Revolution: "It's the same old tired story: something bad happens, and the older generation has to find something that must have corrupted the youth."
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Marilyn Manson must have been in on it too.
Don't forget bowling as well. Do they have that in Norway?
But... but... blaming video games is so much easier!
I'm sure someone out there said gaming is behind this. Just like someone thinks freemasons are behind this. The truth is that the media, at least international media and just about every newspaper and TV channel imaginable here in Norway, has payed an absolute minimum attention to gaming in this case, even though Breivik mentioned that he had used games to train for the event and that he was a very active WoW player. This is beside the point here, and let's not even dignify the few idiots who think gaming is responsible, or carries even some of the responsibility for Brevik's crimes with any attention.
EDIT:
Oh, yeah, and the coop thing. Coop is pulling their games back, because they hardly even sell games. 90% of their stores don't sell games and 10% sell games at an outrageous price. So at a minimum loss they gain positive attention. They don't care about the medium and they've got nothing to lose on it. My money is on that they're just doing it for the PR, without pointing fingers. It's not going to work.
Must be all the fish they're eating. Makes them mad and wanna kill people and then spend 5 hours grinding in warcraft to vent off their frustration.
I think the killer also mentioned the world. So Norway, please ban the world...
