Well lets hope it was not some TL.net member that went crazy. Still that article is silly anyway. Did the kid tell someone he went out looking to kill a person because his Internet was out? How does that conversation go?

"So why you do it?"

"Well my Internet was out so I said to my self I'm gonna have to kill a bitch!"

Yeah I doubt his actions have anything to do with starcraft or his Internet being out. Sounds like some writer has a agenda.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

Recently I've had to use dial-up internet, and sometimes it fucks up and drives me crazy with massive lag spikes that cause me to lag out of the game. Hopefully this won't turn me into a murderer as well, lol.

It bugged me that they called it a "war game", as opposed to a strategy game.

Don't tell me Starcraft isn't a bad influence. 3 years ago I was driving my friend around, and he suddenly started making Zerg noises and scratching me with his index and middle finger. I almost drove off the road.

I retaliated later by stabbing him with my hands while going tsst tsst.

It is a war game, and the name of the game also matters. It became an addiction for the idiot. Surely if he had been intoxicated it would be relevant to a jury whether that means he was on heroin, mj, alcohol or just a bunch of red bulls.

Eh... I guess. "War game" invokes images of Call of Duty or Medal of Honor or a game like that. Not really so much Starcraft.

I don't see any reason either for them to call out the game he was playing

Obviously the kid has problems if he felt the need to stab someone cuz he couldnt play..

not really worth joking about imo , the guy tried to kill someone
i hope he finds mental help , staying away from the game for a few months and cracking his cd will cure his addiction - if he doesnt end up rotting in jail for 5 years that is
Once again back is the incredible!

Intergalactic domination is not the same as a "war game."

I'll c/p my post which expresses my thoughts on this case:

About this case - it's quite stupid. I guess it was simply some crazy guy who wanted to kill someone and that's all. Then press discovered that he liked to play games (or he used games argument as excuse) and now it will be "obvious" that he killed because of game, lol...

You can as well explain that he wanted to kill someone for quite some time but didn't do it because he was playing his whole life. When finally his internet connection went dead he had nothing left to do and recalled that he wanted to kill someone but went to play SC instead. So when he had no alternative in SC he went to kill someone. Of course his victim was random, because he had no plan at all - because he chose playing SC over killing/planning to kill someone


In other words - bullshit ^ 2. This guy wanted to kill someone and used computer games as cheap excuse


And yeah, calling SC "war game"... You could call it "survival game" as well in that case - since Terrans and Protoss try to survive Zerg's invasion. Plus in multi it's all about winning - aka not losing, surviving.
