Speaking of what happened in Norway, now the news is saying that the Norwegian police should have responded in a more timely manner. While I don't condone what happened, in a way it doesn't surprise me.

Just proves the guy's a fucking loony. That, or it's all an intricate corporate wars plot. *cue conspiracy theorists*
Ohai haven't been on COBOT for a while, i'm visiting family so. Yeah it was kind of horrible, and I agree to some point in his beliefs, but I think he should have targeted the prime minister or something. I guess he got more drama/attention from killing kids, fuck if I know, I don't research this shit. On the game note, the media is now blaming the games. I remember watching the news and some professional psychiatrist dude saying "he simply doesn't know how to separate games from reality". They then proceeded to show off a forum post from the WoW forums where he said "Was an epic feeling killing Naxxramas" (a big boss in WoW, requires alot of people and co-ordination to kill). Then the dude says: "He says it was an EPIC feeling to KILL" etc, jesus shit the fuck? wat? Some stores also removed WoW from the shelves (!) "Killer-game removed from shelves after Utøya-massacre" http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/artikkel.php?artid=10081059 About the MW2 thing, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, a forum post? But I read half of his manifest and he only gamed it casually (played more WoW than anything for a period).
It'll blow over, the removing of games is just a temporary thing that stores themselves decided to do as a gesture of support for the victims. And the media is barely covering that event compared to all else, let alone "blaming it on games". They'll cover each sides in all stories as they usually do, even if one is quite obviously wrong(and retarded).
^ but seriously, nationalism is gay, if he should be angry about dead people in his country he should be ranting about people dying all over the world every day, where is the difference between the people who live in your country and people who live some more miles way?
Fuck patriotism, and fuck nationalism. We are all equal in my book! Cept for the ppl in the facist govt of North America they can all goto hell!
guys look at this study, http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/gaming_for_good/ For years, video games have been linked to aggression and violence, with researchers and media reports suggesting that violent games have inspired or even caused violent acts. But a new study suggests that video games can be a force for good, finding that games with positive objectives can actually inspire people to perform acts of altruism.
Not sure if you guys got the news, a girl over here had a collar bomb strapped to her neck like something straight out of a SAW movie. 'I'll detonate collar bomb if you call police' It wasn't a real bomb s
