Google ads is trying to tell you something perhaps?

There are many things which can send people over the edge.  People have been committing acts of mass murder for thousands of years, its not like computer games have been around for that long...

Take a look at the following article.  Apparently gaming is good for you.

Should have been locked up actually, along with the other 18.

That's for the other thread though really, this is a general thread about violence and computer games and is there any correlation.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Dumbfucks are using video games as scapegoats here too...Remember the Brandon Crisp saga? The parents of the kid are blaming COD4 and the gaming industry for their parental failure. Maybe they should learn to actually parent properly...also COD4 didn't kill the little shit, he fell of a goddamn tree ffs.

People have really gotta stop blaming just video games. Other societal and social factors play a significant role in influencing would-be school shooters.

These were made for a reason.

We should all ban FPSs, not guns stored in homes,that's obvious.

While the "ban violent computer games" BS comes up every time something like that happens, I fear that this time it will last much longer (here in Germany). The reason? Elections for the parliament this year. The right can't wait to forbid more things that make life fun for young people and the left can't wait to take the last bit of responsibility from the people.
this will be an awesome year...

He got disbarred.

Oh and I had toy guns as a kid just like probably 70%+ of all males in the western world. Access to a bb-gun occasionally and shot some of Dad's old rifles a bit too.

I had a Thompson, and I turned out er OK....

Giving impressionable teens the ability to rehearse blowing people away has got to have some downside, even if its with a tiny minority, same as cannabis flips a few people out and porn inspires crimes now and then.

PS One of my more 'eccentric' colleagues (I work in electronics) made a complete COD4 map of our workplace, and a walkthrough video of him shooting and blowing the place up.
As far as I know he doesn't have an M16/203 or an M60 but I guess you never know.

People don't want to admit that the gunman was like themselves.  Therefore, they have to blame something they do not like/have/participate in.  That something may be guns, FPS games, violent movies, types of music, mental illness, poor parents, etc.  Now, sometimes those things will play a partial role, but you can't logically place 100% of the blame on something that was not the 100% cause...but people try it all the time.  They don't want to see this "monster" as someone generally like them.

A general view on school shootings, not entirely related to the OP, but it's short and good.

This is just pathetic. Germany still has conscription. You'd think that people would learn to kill in the army instead of unrealistic video games.

Also this whole mess managed to (temporarily) take down krautchan

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

If someone is willing to kill someone for being bullied and such the game didn't have anything to do with it. He just snapped and thought it was enough.

But claiming games gives people more ideas and that head shots are like rewarding? Oh please, in a lot of movies they pop the head for style and that doesn't seems to be a problem. Would it be the same thing to claim people are vampires hunters when they stab someone in the heart with a stake? Well maybe but a stake to the heart = A kill.

Oh and I have still to see a game which is close to the brutality of Sin City movie. That movie was rather brutal but good.


But yea looks like the government censor plot on video games pretty much failed. So they might as well scrap the whole idea as it won't change a bloody thing.

All thou does this sounds like rather "The new threat to mankind, GEEKS ARE ATTACKING BACK!"

I cant believe that people are stupid enough to incorporate stuff done in FPSs into real life

It used to be "LETS BLAME GTA FOR ALL SHOOTING SPREES!"

Ive also seen a large increase in 18 rated games lately
and not all of them deserved it
