This is a kid that's crying out for help, but no one heard him. It's sad that things end up this way, but you'd think that 200 absences from school is not something that you fix by cutting the internet off. /edit - Just wanted to say that video games had nothing to do with this. If it wasn't video games, it would be drugs, gangs, robberies - video games are a symptom of his problem and not a cause. Indeed. Take a hint from Day[9]'s Starcraft commentary, the source of the problem is always, always in the past. | ||

I didn't actually know such a large proportion of gamers physically flipped so much shit while playing. | ||

The kid has to have mental problems, especially considering he missed 200 days of school, like people have said, that's such an obvious sign. The best part about all this is once the media gets wind of this I get to spend the next two months being closely observed because I play realistic FPS games. Funnnnn. Remember, it's always the video games' fault! | ||

Never ceases to amaze me how people can ignore such dramatic signs thats something is wrong. I really feel sorry for the family. I didn't catch if the kid had a step father as well but it must be hell for him.I can't imagine what it would be like to take in a kid as your own, and have him commit an evil act like that. Fucking scary how he could just go on normally playing the game after murdering his own mom. It gives me the creeps.He must be a truly fucked up kid to have killed and been so casual about it. Grown ups will probably blame the violence of the video game, that it somehow is the cause of it. Hardly the case though. Just like in a school shooting you can't really try to make sense of it. This is another case of a fucked up kid going off, & the media will probably yell GAME VIOLENCE !!! | ||

There are like a couple news stories a year and there are hundreds of millions of gamers. Don't be misled into thinking this is common. | ||

I guess this is true, but I mean i got addicted to Starcraft (6 hours a day for half a year), but I never did act violent when my parents wouldn't let me play. I'd just whine and sleep with my ipod on max for a bit. Counterstrike.. I got so pissed when people AWP/Ak ed me from behind and stuff and my fits were apparently quite scary >.> I never used to get mad playing CS. Frustrated at teammates, yes, but not really mad. Madden on the other hand... | ||

And I'm also pretty sure that this story will ignite a new controversy over video games and how they make freaking killing machines out of normals kids... Every time some activist/politician goes after video games I remember this: ![[image loading]](http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/03/boondocks.jpg) | ||
