I have family and friends who are gamers and I never heard of it

They'll ban video games next.

They'll put it in with their "assault weapon" ban.

THE loner responsible for the sickening massacre was mentally ill

That's all that's needed to be pointed out.

The guy used a car to get to the school. Ban cars! He practiced shooting on video games. Ban video games! Ban anything, but don’t restrict crazy people; that’s not allowed.

High school colleagues said crazed Lanza was a member of the outcast “tech club” where boys who had trouble making friends with their peers played together.

The tech mob is only place where boring and maladjusted nerds are “cool” and their anti-social potential can be realized.

Remember when joining any tech cult in the marketplace. Listen carefully and think the opposite. The Marxist GE, Google and facebook nerd CEO’s should come to mind.

How many millions of young males have been playing FPS for years now? If this was true, then wouldn’t we be seeing Sandy Hooks every day at this point?

I remember when games like Quake II were blamed for shootings, and that was going on 10 years ago.

These ****ing morons do not have a clue what they are babbling on about.

If Americans want to take measures to address why this happens in our society, maybe they should start by addressing their staggering, colossal, blithering ignorance.

If they to know what a violent video game is, then perhaps they should check out the Manhunt series.

Dynasty Warriors is lol...

[Strategerist]

Eh, the new-found fascination of FReepers with the British tabloid press needs to stop.

Took a look at the game - there are no guns, there’s no blood, no dismemberments or decapitations. There’s nothing REMOTELY “shockingly violent” about it. People just get hit with a sword or staff and fall over.

Some serial killers were obsessed with clowns. Others liked dead cats. I’m fed up with the 24/7 coverage of this thing. How many people died of Cancer today? How many died in car wrecks? Why aren’t there detailed 24/7 stories about the families of these tragedies?

[struggle]

Um, Dynasty Warriors is about as violent as Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out.

Without the ear eating.

You don’t see the Captain of the basketball team doing stuff like this. Girls get eating disorders when they can’t meet the Hollywood and Madison Avenue standards. Some boys get violent when they can’t meet the Hollywood and Madison Avenue standards. You want to know why the number of married people is dropping? Those men and women aren’t meeting the Hollywood and Madison Avenue standards. “The good ones are all taken.” Well, then find a “fair” one. I believe I’ve read that arranged marriages have fewer divorces. Hollywood has been telling us for years that you are supposed to immediately fall head over heels in love with your soulmate. I think it takes longer than that. A guy was writing today and giving advice to young men about dating. He was asking why a girl who spends an hour a night moisturizing her hair and who frets over eating more than a salad would want some loser guy? I’m wondering why any guy would want a woman like that. Does everybody need a “Trophy” wife or husband? There are a lot of people out there chasing perfection and getting sadly disappointed. What’s so bad about living in an average house and driving an average car and having an average family?

I've played several DW games - and they are over-the-top hack and slash games where you fight 100s of enemies per level. You play as different characters from the different dynasties during the Three Kindoms era of China. It's not a shooter and not bloody in the ways shooters are.

Not that it matters anyways - - the kid was seriously ill and sick - - and would have gotten the same message from listening to the Monkeys (RIP: Sam Kinison).
