Now those events have taken a twist and it involves our beloved hobby. In an article posted on Breibart.com they explain that the perpetrator behind the killing was addicted to the online game “Super Columbine Massacre.

    The shooter also mentions Romeo and Juliet (according to the Gazette article). I vote we counter-petition for no more Shakespeare.

    Yeah blaming games makes no sense, crazy people have always been around. I mean what video games influenced Hitler!
  • Is that the Columbine RPG made in the Final Fantasy style? Um, I played that game. If anything, I would think that a game like that would deter people from doing this. Not necessarily because it will influence potential shooters, but it actually did a pretty good job of showing you what a typical day was like for the Columbine shooters. I felt a lot of pity for them, and if a video game can lead someone to a deeper understanding on exactly how some people are affected by the problems around them, then it may not be such an evil thing, after all.

    Nothing to say of the fact that this guy certainly sounded like a complete psycho.

    news media really, really pissed me off some days.
