For reference, guys, this time it isn't the media blaming CS for violence, but rather it would appear the prosecutor was trying to establish a history of violent behavior. While the media often does try to use video games as a scapegoat, let's not criticize them when they're not the ones at fault, eh?



I blame DaveJ personally. Damn you and your crazy dancing monkey! You inspire death and mayhem!



If they had used a hammer in the assault, though, I'd be blaming our local homosexual purple dinosaur, barney, for the grief inflicted on gamers everywhere. Gamers who, for some odd reason, all seem to believe that their beloved game couldn't have possibly had any effect on these two criminals. Funny how that works, eh? :P

Your dog probably had it coming.

I blame ethanol.

What else could have been the cause?

If CS is responsible for anything, it's widespread killing of chickens.

Study finds that several chicken-murdering employees of Foster Farms are CS players... details on page 7.

theres a reason why the retards are in the back of the school in portables away from normal people.

Wow that wasn't PC, haha! Nicely done!

dont blame cs blame mtv's jackass and the real life that have idiots humping ice blocks. thats whats influencing these idiots to come out into the public.

I dunno, I still think idiots humping ice blocks is a good idea. If nothing else, it increases the odds that they won't procreate, which is a very good thing. :)

Now that I think about it, this incident could make a fun gametype.

kill the VIP, shoot another VIP's thumb off and try to rob a house.

Way to make light of a tragedy!

There are, though, cases in which CS CAN be blamed. For example, when a serial killer is seen in a green jacket and brown pants, with dark sunglasses and a deagle, repeatedly shouting "RUSH DOUBLE DOORS" while shooting people in black jackets who look suspiciously like CTs, CS very well may be the influence in this scenario.

Comedic genius. :)

Once he spells all the words in a post correctly, I might consider reading all of it.

No doubt. Seriously, incorrect spelling makes you look ignorant, even if you have perfectly valid points.

Oh, and why what the victim's 30 year old son and his girlfriend doing still living in his mom's house?



Looks like there's more than one link to games here.



*Cough*Everquestnerd*cough*

LOL, so I wasn't the only one thinking that exact thing, haha. :)

PARENTS don't give a crap and are too spineless to disipline their children when they screw off. Just my 2 cents.

Oh, but punishing them might hurt their precious self-esteem! Oh me oh my! We wouldn't want that! Yeah, parenting is a big issue, though I wouldn't place all blame on parents -- again, everyone chooses their own actions, even if they've been given poor examples to base those choices off of.

Politicians aren't even mentioned in this article. Try reading before you rant, eh?

I wish there was more crime PREVENTION and less PUNISHMENT. Cops wait until after the crime occurs (or starts occurring) before they can do anything. Not that I have any idea what they could do before the crime starts, but that's where effort should be put.

Let's hear it for pre-crime! Minority Report, anyone?

...is not the fault of that which caused you to be angry. It is the

fault of the undiscipline in your behaviour that allows you to

take extreme action.

That's part of the issue. People try to ignore the fact that, in the end, we have the final say over our own actions. Nothing can take that away from us, whether we want to blame other factors or not.

I'm a vegetarian and wouldn't hurt a fly unless attacked.

Damn those flies when they do attack, though!

If the murderers ran around naked, then "A mod for Counter Strike" would be blamed :P

I don't know what kind of custom player models you use in your game of CS, but please don't submit them.

Ah, you've started a new quote.

Well, in response, I will quote the following:

Paintguns range from simple to sophisticated, but what they all share in common is a limitation on their power and range. The international safety limit on the speed (measured in feet per second, "FPS") at which a paintgun shoots a paintball is 300 fps. A chronograph is used to test for speed limits, and all paintguns can be adjusted to shoot under the speed limit. A paintgun's range is limited, too; even shooting 300 fps, at maximum elevation with barrel pointed up into the air, a paintgun can lob a paintball only about 50 yards.

(Emphasis added.)



And finally, my last insensitive thought, from the news article:

They then allegedly armed themselves with a pistol and a rifle and went to the Cecil Hills home of the Logozzo family and waited for them to return.

Camping bastards...

[Xect]

Funny thing is that you're all just as unwilling to even consider that they might have a point. What if he really DID run around playing counterstrike. What if it really WAS counterstrike that caused him to get the funny idea?



While CS sure isn't the only reason, and not even the main reason, I'd say it's a stretch to claim that it has no influence at all.

Exactly... ban guns and the crime rate goes up.... so lawyers blame games instead of guns... one scapegoat to another.... PEOPLE do things to other people. Guns or games or any other objects have no brain. This should be a tragic lesson to all to show that if guns had not been banned they could be defending their lives, family, and property. Instead of being victimized by criminals that will be able to obtain weapons banned or not.....Ü

Ahaha so true.... I can kick a field goal now! I watched polygons do it...

[bulletxhead]

games dont help kill people, this freak was born a killer, a natural born killer.

i mean games like CS.

[Relica Religia]

With the reasoning behind lawsuits like this, why don't people just create a game that teaches peace and love and tolerance throughout the entire world? Wouldn't that be the (il)logical path to satisfying these morons?



As Seanbaby once said, the game could be called "Adventures in Not Facing Reality, Fuckhead Edition."
