I called this as soon as I heard it on the news. I think my comment was along the lines, "I bet video games will find their way into this in some form, shape, or way." I bet many other people did as well. I don't think this issue will be discussed at all by anyone major. Why? The guy seemed to have a ton more mental and psychological issues that the news seems to focus on. Though, I'm not denying the fact that some person is bound to slam violence in video games yet again with more info everyone should already know about. Pretty much a "nothing new" type of thing, as sad as that is to say. |

Actually, the media is now saying he only played CounterStrike in High School and when they looked through his room guess what they found? No video games whatsoever. So they can't play the Violent Video Game card on this one. This guy was just a messed up dude. |
