    That's just depressing, and quite unbelievable.

    uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

    That's wrong, really wrong. Being a Psychology student though, I can see there could be other factors that affected the father's judgement. He could be mentally ill to an extreme extent, for all you know, or there may have been many other reasons for why he did it. Nothing justifies those actions though.

    You did read the thread title before reading the first post in this thread, didn't you? That would have given you enough warning.

    :/

    This part should have been left out, imho.
    News reports almost always give other aliases.

    And I doubt the veracity of this. As undead said it's pretty horrific grammatically.

    Stop blameing Games for violence, its ovios that the guy had something wrong with him, either he grew up and somethin bad happend to him, and one day he snapped. Unless everyone who plays violent games, goes around killing, im not convinced that VG are the cause.

    Never Ending Pain....

    It's probably true, at least the site the story is on looks reliable. I guess it's just a case of bad journalism. The whole article is a little over-dramatized, maybe the journalist should write some fiction instead.

    Video Games will always be the black sheep, media blows it up every time it happens. But I guess they may be right. If I'm ever going to snap and kill everyone, it's going to be because they sell buns in packs of 8 and hot dogs in packs of 10 and not because of stupid video games.

    I hope the man gets crushed by a giant xbox; sweet irony. I could not imagine hitting a child - ever. Games stimulate your brain in such away though, that being caught in a certian delusional rage of the moment may cause you to act way outside of your normal persona; there is a psycological term for it, but 4 years outta psycology classes, I don't remmber it. I do blame the game, but only as a factor. The man is responsable for his actions, and unfortunately, I am sure he feels the deepest sadness one could possibly feel.

    To kill your own child.. I can't even imagine.

    What's interesting about this is 5 minutes ago my brother ( a 21 year old) was playing a video-game while ( a 8 month year old ) Aaliyah was crawling around. So this coincidence made me chuckle a bit. I think that's really terrible. Some people take video-gaming way too seriously. Whether he payed alot of money for something as frivolous as a gaming system, or not he still had no right to strike her in the face.

    hardly poetic justice; xbox does not ever rhyme with anything in the article.

    At least it's not some form of copycat killing that wrecks the gaming market...again.

    Though it's pretty sick. Come on, kids pull stuff, he shouldn't have gotten so mad because the lazy git hadn't saved in ages ¬_¬ (i presume the cable came out and the game was switched off). People are evil.
