    Another blow for video games

    Due to the recent Montreal shooting incident the media is once again attempting to blame video games. They are now blaming some stupid 2D RPG clone game for the shooting.

    When will people learn that we buy the games that we love therefore it is more appropriate to say we are what we buy, not what we buy makes us who we are.

    It's obvious the guy was already obsessed with death and what not, I highly doubt a 2D type zelda RPG of a massacre pushed him over the edge.

    But here we go again on the stupid debate. Blame this blame that blame him blame her, just don't blame the person who did it.

    I'm sick of the media attempting to paint a picture of an altar boy that is seduced into a massacre by a video game. Most of the people who do commit these kinds of acts are one screw short of an erector set anyways.
