It's inevitable.

I'm an Indonesian Halo (and other games) gamer!
Bhineka Tunggal Ika!!

Already has. Fox blamed the most recent shooting on video games.

I have no doubt that gaming too much has a more negative impact than positive one.

I'm not sure it alone would ever cause someone to kill someone else, but who knows.

the only problem i have with mine is that it's unstable,[very shakey],so you'd need a tripod for it.

Maybe. But by now, I feel that the path has been so well worn that it will not really have much traction in news outlets.

All videogames should have guns replaced with water pistols and super-soaker shotguns

Then we'll see if that makes a difference

Of course, most shootings are blamed on games. The columbine incident was blamed on Doom. It was claimed Doom was a "murder simulator"

Doing anything "too much" has a negative impact on you.

Doom is preparation for any problematic circumstances arising on our quest to live on Mars. It'll be remade in HD by NASA in 50 years for all astronauts to play.

Of course. It's an easy outlet for the media/public's outrage, instead of attacking other issues like how mentally unstable people are able to obtain assault rifles and don't receive better healthcare for their mental issues.

Just like always, and by the people who have never played any game for even a millisecond.

Link? I looked at the page but I didn't see the part that blamed video games..

  • 12.16.2012 3:37 AM PDT

Two makes there more than speakers.

If the media finds that any suspect has played any form of video game, they'll -blam!- bricks and jump on the hate train.

What this mass effect page people are talking about?

Also, I think the media thinks all teenagers who play video games are impressionable 5 year olds. I my self have been playing games like GTA, and more recently saints row since i was 9 or 10. I have never once though about killing someone, stealing a car, drinking and driving, ect ect. In fact, I'm planning on a future as a police officer... So... Yeah.

Oh my god, i just saw that mass effect thing and bloody hell those people are the stupidest in the world...

I'm tempted to list all the reason why, but I know i don't need to for you guys. BUT FOR GODS SAKE the game is about SAVING HUMANITY.

seriously that angers me. those people, are stupid for attacking ME3.

It's a great game and they are ignorant trying to shift blame on something that has no relevance to what happened on Friday at all.

Apparently a space rpg opera game is evil .... mkay.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.
