I don't know what I can possibly say to defend against a claim (or claims) this stupid that would get through to their paranoid (I think that's the term here) heads.
Ahem, let me try: GRUNT SMASH Dude GRUNT Was RAAR Insane SLAM...
Nah... I think I got nothing.
DuWIn is right up there with DuWaSt, but seriously, where did this even come from? Did the guy read that there was going to be another Mass Effect game so he did this? Was he so disappointed by the the ending (personally I thought it was alright) that he had to do this? What?
If you can't answer the above you have no right to attack Mass Effect or Bioware.
EDIT: I just realized that I heven't heard Call of Duty being blamed. You could make an arguement there. A flimsy one that will quickly die, but still better than Mass Effect.

all i have to say is fuck you Facebook people just fuck you SERIOUSLY 18/20 CHILDREN ARE DEAD god rests their souls AND YOU ARE BLAMING A FUCKING VIDEO GAME YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, NONE OF YOU WILL ESCAPE MY WRATH AND THEY WILL NEVER FIND YOUR BODIES i hope you later regard what you said.
You know what? I find this insulting to those who died. Blaming a game for such a thing with no basis and avoiding the elephant in the room about why this happened is despicable. I know that people find things to blame when grief stricken, but this...I don't even...
My condolences to the families involved and, all I can say is that this is a very, very, very black Christmas.

Yeah, and that dipshit asshole Micheal Moore is using this as yet another anti-gun launching pad. Tasteless assholes will always use things like this for their political ends.
Not trying to get into the gun argument here but I absolutely hate it when self centered assholes capitalize on these tragedies to beat their dead horses a little more.

Don't want to get into a debate with you or anyone on this, but Congress and the Senate need to have a serious non-partisian talk about your gun laws.
No,your just ahead of your time. ;pWinterbird said:
I wonder what the time limit is though before you can make jokes....wait,I've got it!Take the years between the holocaust and the first holocaust joke,divide 27 by 2 million and then that number by the years.Math genius y'all.
On Topic;
The people who do this most likely haven't ever played Mass Effect so a boycott effects nothing.
I guess the hypocrisy of this is what gets gamers riled up.Violent books and movies getting a pass but not games.
Terrible situation really.It was said the whole neighborhood was afraid of him and that he was "weird since 5".Look at that childhood judgment.Doomed the day he was born in that area.
I am not arguing about this, but I am Canadian, not American. Assumptions, assumptions people. Let Americans work out their own fucking laws it's none of my business.chiefohara said:
It's not my laws. My nationality is in my profile. Even my captcha knows it as it asks me if I shop at Canadian Tire. Answer no
Edit, that article had nothing to do with this, it was about assault weapons, the shooter had semi automatics. So hurray for irrelevance as well?
Fair enough on the assumptions part, you are the first non American i've ever seen criticize Michael Moore though, hence my assumption.jklinders said:
Things like that stupid Baptist Church picket line really makes me question the good of humanity.
And as for Mass Effect being blamed for this massacre,just because the shooter LIKED the game does not mean it inspired him to commit this act.
The people who are pointing the middle finger at Mass Effect is just giving another reason to hatefully blame video games that even show a slight hint of violence. Yes, violent games don't exactly have a good reputation, but it doesn't make people want to go and kill 20 children.

He's an asshole and a hypocrite. The left of the US should criticize him as well. He gets a lot of facts wrong and misses the point completely. You don't have to be an american to see that just have a working brain and the willingness to research.chiefohara said:
Also that article you posted was off point. The shooter had semi automatic weapons, not assault rifles. The rifle could be used for hunting, the handguns available in nearly all US states legally. Completely off message.
