Has anyone else heard about that guy that got stabbed to death over in china? What i heard is that someone lent him a sword and he sold it. Then the owner of the sword went to the cops but there are no laws pertaining to virtual possessions, sooooooo.....he went out and stabbed the guy to death.Is that taking it to far? |

Killing over selling. Something you don't see everyday. |

I heard about that, what kind of an idiot stabs a dude over a fake sword? I heard that two dudes tried to recreate something from GTA Vice City by crashing two cars and both died from the crash. Freakin' idiots. |

More wildly depressing news from America today, as a man is convicted for murdering a seven year-old girl following a dispute over his missing copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Ronald Kirk Brown received life in prison without the possibility of parole for firing indiscriminately into the child victim's house. The girl, Deva White, was sitting with her grandmother and brother when she was hit in the chest by a bullet.
Detroit Police Department said that Brown had been in conflict with the White family over what appears to be a copy of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which it was claimed was taken from his home, referred to by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy as "an argument of no consequence."
This is just the latest in a series of high-profile violent crime cases to be linked in some way to one of Rockstar’s titles and will no doubt increase pressure on the firm to reassess its content policies. This news will also lend weight to various groups looking to make legal attacks on Rockstar.
Whether the game influenced the shooting or not, the similarities between the random violence depicted in San Andreas and the final real-life tragedy are impossible to overlook.

Lol..
Ok, about that quote Praxis, imo, either:
a.) It's made up.
b.) Some political group shot the kid, then pinned it on some random crackhead.
Violent games are *good* - they stop people butchering real people in real life. When the hell will these fucking gypsy senators realise this.
Hell, I would have stabbed shitloads of people to death if it weren't for Doom

The Chinese / Japanese take their games seriously..
But yeah, I would rather turn on GTA and go on a shooting spree than do it in real life and get the chair. |

What? I thought Spong was right about everything! Look, their latest article says the XBox 360 and PS3 are compatible with each other!

Yup. Where would we be if we hadn't killed each other needlessly?

Isn't that how it always goes? The hotter the chick in the movie, the less important her roll. As long as she bounces around, it's all fine and dandy. |
