So what exactly does one gain from taking a year out to play WoW? How does it prepare you for killing people? And MW's aiming sytems? Hitting dudes from across the map with a pistol... its a wonder he killed anybody.
NO!!! WHY ARE YOU REPEATING THIS NONSENSE!!!

Never reprint anything from mass media that has to do with games before first checking everything carefully since almost every time you will see it's full of sh*t.
LOL! There really is nothing like watching the mass media get the facts so completely wrong.Originally Posted by MOnk
Did you read our article? It came from the Reuters feed and stated the facts plainly and in a neutral manner. Gaming wasn't blamed for anything - was merely reported that he played these games.
Call of Duty for training purposes, as per his testimony, and World of Warcraft to take a bit of a sabbatical from being a lunatic before he went off the deep end and murdered people.

From a Screenshot I saw it looked like Alliance.
I did read the article and I saw it came from Reuters, even more reason to check it.It's less biased than some others but it's still not neutral nor completely representative of the facts.
Let's start with the title.
He played one video game which he related to his attack (Modern Warfare), not video games, he said he used it to train himself to kill police officers, which you can't do in the game. All of that only happened after he had already planned and decided to carry out his attack. World of Warcraft was just about irrelevant, he could have spent that year learning how to ice skate.Norwegian mass-murderer used video games to train and plan his attack
Once again implying the year spent playing games (playing wow) was a year spent preparing for the attack which is untrue.He told a court on Thursday that he used computer games to prepare for his attacks, once spending an entire year isolated from society playing a game for hours on end.
Proximity of the sentences onces again tries to enforce the relationship between blowing himself up and playing games for a year.“Of course I couldn’t tell her I was going to take a sabbatical because I am going to blow myself up in five years’ time. During that year I played perhaps 16 hours a day. It was a lot. Only playing for an entire year — playing and sleeping, playing and sleeping….It was a dream I had, and I wanted to do this.”
All of this talk about games and yet only a single sentence about the actual weapons (some legal some illegal) he used to carry out these attacks and no mention of the hours upon hours he spent firing them and ACTUALLY training to use them in firing ranges.When he acquired the weapons for the actual attacks, he turned to Norse mythology in naming them.
... So do you still think that article was fair and unbiased?
Who cares what this fucktard has to say? When I listen or acknowledge what someone who has killed what is it, almost 70 people, then please put me out of my misery. This guys does not deserve one milisecond of anymore media publicity. Chuck him in jail, hang him, whatever, but most importantly, forget him.
There. Funny how guilty always gets the larger end of the stick compared to the victim(s)
