HANG THAT DUMBASS!

Seriously, what the fk are you people talking about? Gaming does NOT make people do anything!... TV, on the other hand, told me to go kill Britney Spear's career (starting about 5 years ago... yes, it was all me), to do insider trading with Martha Stewart (that's how I start killing the economy and got it to THIS point), and to finish the job I started with the rest of the Kennedy family (hint: It was just me and I WAS on the grassy knoll, suckers <.<). Yes, TV made me do all of those things, so TV is definitelty evil... (don't tell it I said that or it will get mad T_T)... but leave gaming the fk alone >.<!

I'd a dun it.

Gaming has nothing to do with your mental state. If you are messed up after gaming you were messed up before hand. People that say, games can make you do bad things, need to be kicked up side the head. I have played games for... 8-9 years on and off, and I have never even hit someone.

These guys make us good gamers out there look like total d!cks. Really, he gets all pissed because his fucking Starcraft connection went out.

What the fuck is this world coming to? You stab somebody with a knife, somebody you just find randomly out on the street, because your STARCRAFT CONNECTION DIED. This guy needs either serious mental help or he needs to get laid. Now.

LOL bet you he got SCV rushed or something lol.

Poor girl, that guy was seriously sick in the head. People that does not have the capacity to control themselves, specially with just a superficial issue of internet connection, will not last long in this world that we live in.

KILL!!!!!!! KILL EM ALL!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

p.s. he must have be missing his mom's cookies XD

Man, Its people like this that makes us gamers look bad. =C We should all get angry, pick up a knife, run outside to the psychiatric ward and stab him a couple of times! Just kidding, but these crazy people man!

I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here since you obviously post a lot of things on this topic as if you're some champion of video games =/= violence stimulator.

You've put a lot of evidence of gaming related violence that seems to stem from irrational reasoning from an individual who may not have commited their crime if the previous cause (parent canceling wow account, internet going out, etc.) did not create the effect (of them doing their act of irrational). However let's put this into perspective, if gaming was not involved what would have happened instead? I'll let you think on that one, but I can already guess the answer.

Haven't you seen a news report? Other than politics, It's filled with murder mysteries and such, this LIFE, don't expect there's going to be happy go-along stories about happy MMO players everyday. these horrific incidents happen, and due to its unexpected nature and shocking developments, of course it gets more attention, and of course it's been chosen to be put on the front page.

Now tell me have you actually seen a tabloid/broadsheet newspaper with a story that's NOT controversial on its headlines?

dont u guys ever report on anything good? it always seem that its something that points towards the downside of gaming..

I feel bad for that poor girl, hope she gets the attention she deserves when she's older for walking home at night... as for the guy... HAHAHAHA, he got angry because of THAT? What's a joke.

This article is not about a 'nut case gamer'... it is about a 'nut case' who was playing a game. These sorts of unstable retards have access to all the same stuff as actual gamers might have access to, but in this case, the same sort of stimuli can cause reactions far outside the range of a normal individual. A person who can not deal with a game being turned-off is by no means a real 'gamer' in real life. After-all, how can a 'gamer' continue gaming if he/she does not work or do anything else beyond playing games? To maintain a 'gamer' life-style, you have to be a balanced-enough individual to not only produce an income, but know how to act in society so that your games don't get forcefully taken away from you. It all boils down to common sense.

Don't let your lurking parents peeping behind your shoulders see this! If they do they'll sign a massive petition to implement subliminal message into games urge you not to play them, be nicer to everybody, become a eco-activist, fight against violence (oh the irony) and *shudder* do your homework!

Or have the subliminal messaging already begun?!!

Wow...its like every week some nutcase gamer is killing people...seriously if you cant handle games dont play them...ive played video games for more then half my life and ive never thought about hurting someone.

Phucking wackos.

That poor girl is going to be messed up forever now...  He'll go to some nuthouse for a time and then come out and say he's been cured.  What a load.  That poor girl, I feel so bad for her :(

These nuts need serious cracking.

Dam .... now that guys fucking insane .... thats Why I want the death penelty back ....

I love starcraft too but he went overboard there, and the girl didn't even have anything to do with him, he must have lived a sad life, all his life.
