[razor512]

Hate to see what happens if they cancel his WOW account.


anyway 5 years? this number seems to be missing a 2 or a 3 in front of it.

The alleged Holocaust was only started after Hitler lost not 1, but, 2 games of checkers to an old Jewish man. True story...

[citation][nom]jtt283[/nom]Reported. Spammers should be made available as targets for when someone "loses it."[/citation]

that would be good, the government starts a tracking program where they find all of the spammers, then when someone feels that they may go postal, they can go to a government facility where for a small fee, they will be placed in a room with a randomly selected spammer and they can take out their anger on the spammer until they feel ready to go back to work and not go postal anymore, this will reduce crime and also solve those problems in china where random people go on knifing rampages

Only in the UK...

[citation][nom]agawtrip[/nom]16 yrs old. minor age.anyway, thats another - points for violent video games. i said this before - i uninstalled L4D2 because my nephew and niece were playing it (8 & 7 yrs old). i dont want them to grow violently. do everything you can to be not an accessory to the crime, one way or another.[/citation]

I was playing Wolfenstein 3d when I was 6. I didnt made me violent, I even feel something when I shoot at somebody, the recoil.

[citation][nom]idisarmu[/nom]...in left 4 dead you kill zombies that claw and throw punches at you. I suppose it's violence, but it's so fake and almost comical.[/citation]

I agree that they shouldn't be violent because of it, BUT if there is a zombie apocalypse they will be.

 

[Tomtompiper]

[citation][nom]Rab1d-BDGR[/nom]So let me guess, they will blame it on the PS3... and not the UK's shitty care system. Even if this tragedy hadn't happened the future for these boys would be grim. After 18 they would be dumped from the care system and statistically they would either end up in prison or on the streets. Some "care" system indeed...[/citation]

It happened in Chile, so what has the UK care system got to do with it?

 

[nahdogg]

The 16 year old should be executed - but Chile probably doesn't have capital punishment.

Ya, tell me about it. They should have a mile deep hole like in 300 and boot people like this into it. Of course the booter must say "This is Sparta!" just before the booting occurs.

I find it sad that everyone so far has made a reference to Cain and Abel (and their deadly argument over a PS0?). Are you all that ignorant of general world knowledge?

 

[Guest]

[citation][nom]RogerDeath[/nom]It just shows that society is getting more violent. Video games are not the only cause of this, look at recent movies and how violent they are.[/citation]

At the end of the day, a killer is a killer. You either have it in you, or you don't. If this guy hadn't killed his brother over a PS3 argument, I dare say (by quick psychological reasoning) that he would've eventually killed somebody else for something entirely unimportant too, perhaps not even gaming related (imagine that!).

I do wish people would lay off the entertainment industry. People have been needlessly murdering each other for thousands of years, nothing has changed.

What are you on about it happened in Chile?

 

[noodlegts]

These kinds of articles need to stop being reported as news. Just because the motivation to kill someone might have come from an argument that originated because of a piece of electronics doesn't mean that this is tech news.

Also, the more things like this are reported, the more it makes it seem like video games are to blame for violence. Chelsea fans are pretty violent over soccer... yet articles like that never get published with the same tone/frequency as these ones do. In the end nobody blames soccer for violence.

 

[wiinippongamer]

[citation][nom]proxy711[/nom]Obviously video games drove this 16 year old to violence. Not his apparent mental issues. His parent aren't at blame for abandoning him, nor their guardians for letting him play GTA, Doom, mortal combat at age 5. in conclusion video games are murder trainers.[/citation]


an YOU are a dearest comrade

Two people flaming the UK over a Chilean incident.

Chile is NOT in the UK!!!

It's in South America, it almost couldn't be any further from the UK.

 

[Tomtompiper]

It saddens me when people can't be bothered to even read the first line of a story before posting their "educated" opinion. Computer games may not be responsible for violence, but it seems they do attract people with the IQ of a sponge.

 

[drwho1]

This was NOT the Playstation's fault, as I read this news, then
this kids have been trouble their whole lives, this was just a matter of time.

as for the "punisment".... 5 years sound like a slap in the shoulder, "is ok" instead of he should have got at least 20 to live.

 

[maxiim]

Some stupid comments from the first few guys posting, honestly if your child or anyone else for that matter is capable of stabbing his sibling to death, then the parents have a bit more then GTA and mortal combat to worry about. Been a fan of all those game since the 5th grade, and now at 22 I dont feel the need to stab someone because they "powered on my PC, without asking first".

 

[spikey_monkey]

[citation][nom]bin1127[/nom]it's along the lines of that. We seem to be losing the ability to control our basic emotions. Shouldn't we actually think of a way to reverse the trend instead of blaming video games yet again?[/citation]

I agree. I believe a general loss of control is a result of humanity's overwhelming surrender to materialism. When "commerce is your God," it is hard to understand why there are ancient ethics that have governed humanity for so long. Not saying other era's in history didn't have problems with ethics, though...
