Has anyone been reading up on this they are saying that this guy was driven to kill people because of video games. why the hell do people automatically go after the video gameing public when someone gets killed. if someone kills another person they obvously were a little insane in the membrain in the first place. this stuff just gets me mad ive been playing games since i was a wee lad played all the early FPS games. i dont know about anyone else but i dont get the urge to go kill people well sometimes id like to choke a counter strike player or 2 for nameing themself OWNAGE MCROXXOR but maby thats just me.....but its ridiculous to even think about the people who do these things were not driven by games these people are just farked up in the head and more than likely sociopaths (bad spelling i know) and know full well what they are doing and just dont give a rats ash....well im finnished what do u guys think do video games make u insane? (thats what the news people seem to think)

If video games affected people like some say they do, we would all be running around darkened rooms, eating round objects, and having hallucinations about multicoloured ghosts.
Video games affecting people is BS.

Everytime someone goes crazy shooting people someone blames video games or music.
I will give them some merit in that I think the gorier video games may lead people to be desensitized to blood, etc.. I also think that a game can be very good without all the blood and guts. Take T2 for example. there's no blood.... only little bitty pieces when ya really get blasted. It's more cartoonish to me than realistic.
I don't think that playing even the bloodiest of game, like SOF2, is gonna make stable people go bad. It's the unstable ones we gotta watch.
However... People have gone on sniping rampages long before there were video games... Anyone old enough to remember or know about the Texas bell tower sniper? http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial/whitman/
I think alot of society's ills would be cured if people simply showed each other a bit of respect. That's it...

I think it is one of those "Pong" playing bastards... That little ball blipping back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Drives 'em nuts. One day he's on consecutive bounce number 3,927,354 and before you know it he's finally missed and you find him under a bush thinking he's Rambo.
Adrian!!!! Adrian!!!!
In all reality, this individual is very scary. It is tough to imagine someone that can so easily cross that sane/insane line and do something like this.
