    Violent Video games (and current culture) are only a small contributory part of it; so it isn't 100% to blame, but there is ample proof of how repeated video training (like flight sims or combat sims) perfects certain skill sets, be they violent or not. How much causal relation one could assign to video games per se (over an incident like this) is subjective and has been argued about ad infinitum. :rolleyes2:

    Be that as it may, this "kid" obviously has severe anger management issues that go way beyond that. -dead

    Yeah man... if he were a murderer and a homosexual that would just be way over the top
     
  11. no doubt you may be right, but the issue that i have a problem with though, is that people are automatically blaming video games for unfortunate incidents, making baseless claims like video game addiction (which according to scientific studies, is false) and make stupid claims like this person here:

    i could copy paste two essays i wrote, but there's no point. the idea that people blame something and generalize their false belief for an incident that occurs like 1% of the time just aggravates me. these people need to get their shit straight before making such stupid claims.

    that may be a good theory, but you gotta remember that a lot of non-violent people play violent games, yet don't turn out like this freak.

    But did he get to play Halo 3 in the end?
     
  15. when you play games tooo much they are always in your head, this guy prolly got into it so much that shooting someone became a possible choice and he took it.

    I believe the game had a part to do with it combined with all the other messed up stuff in society, its often said that video games get demonized yet movies with people shooting other people and blowing things up is acceptable.

    the most sad thing (in that kid's point of view) is maybe that he never going to play a game again if he gets lifetime (even more sad: Didn't finished Halo 3 before he were captured). That is a ironic punishment for a "gamer"
     
  20. just finished reading the article... this mofo clearly is just trying to not get a life sentence...
