Mass Murderer Admits to Training Using Video Games

[Britisheagle]

Its also been reported that he wants to either be aquitted or killed, and thinks being given jail time is a joke. Clearly is a bit mad.

Either that or he is holding "X" for the easy way out.

Just when you think that you're in control,
just when you think that you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.​

Players of the game, one of the "Call of Duty" series, work together as soldiers to shoot opponents.

What Call of Duty are they playing? All my team does is go into a corner and lick each other's bums or run out on their own and be instakilled by someone with their knife or AA-12.

Honestly, you could learn just as much about doing this from films. I mean, in COD you see pew pew and blood, but in films the actors are usually trained in the proper stance to hold a gun, ideal positions and some of the science around the guns such as recoil, since studios do occasionally like using blanks, and other things that could serve as hot tips for anyone planning something as evil as this.

This is being made a bigger deal in this thread than CNN is making. I think knocking off high ranking politicians is bigger news now, so maybe in a few months time when "FOX NEWS INVESTIGATES NORWAY TERRORISM TRAINING SIM CALL OF DUTY" crops up, that's when we should be pointing out all the faults in their argument. For now, we collect them and save them for this inevitable article that will reek of bias, bullshit and bitching.

Calumon: I thought foxes were cunning, so why is that one always silly?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Somehow this makes me think of Scream 2 where

Spoiler

the dumbass who turns out to be behind all the killings talks about how he intended to blame his killing spree on the "Stab" movies which had been made based on the killings in the first movie

 

[SEXTON HALE]

Hopefully the fact that he has played one or two games in his life will be
overshadowed by the fact that he is a pro dickhead.

Shouldn't this promote videogames? I don't know about you guys, but i would rather have the crazy pshychos near me playing WoW and CoD that actually learning basic chemestry and practicing their shooting.

Heck, if US of A bought and gave WoW for free i can almsot guarantee a decline in unplanned crimes.

 

[KrossBillNye]

Wait.... How does playing WoW factor in the training to shoot someone?

Obligatory: Oh hey, this thread again.

Anyways, it's happened a hundred times before. It'll probably happen again. We can't practically make a way to prevent it without psychoanalyzing everyone within 5ft of a t.v. screen every waking moment of the day so my reaction is ... meh. Don't get me wrong. The victims/their families have my empathy but by now, it's kind of hard to really care about it. If anything, it has the same effect as when I log in and see another Mass Effect thread start up in the forums. Maybe if we stop giving so much publicity to this stuff, we might see a decrease in it.

 

[Tayh]

He did not use games as training. Ffs.
That's just media bullshitting.
