Exactly. I was watching CNN a few days after it happen and the reporter was interviewing Cho's roomate. He kept asking him if he knew about the video game Counter Strike and if Cho had played it or if he had ever played any video games. The roomate just said Cho typed on his computer all the time but the reporter kept asking him if video games were involved somehow. It was funny how dumb the questions were but kinda sad that they were trying to blame it on video games.

Why the heck are they blaming Counterstrike!? There are other games more gory that they could blame. Why does it always have to be video games, I'm sure there are plenty of other crazies that never played video games or watched over violent movies. Many people are "unstable" from birth and nothing can be done about it. Shrinks think they can just slap a label on someone and give them some meds and then they'll be fit to deal with "proper society," and if that doesn't work they can put them in a padded room for the rest of their days. Sometimes all anyone needs is to be treated like they are human, and not like some beast or scum. Sometimes people are beyond reach, like this guy apparently. But then again we will never know the whole story.

Hmm. Counter-strike, as with most first-person shooters, involves the practice of 'killing' other players to score.

I am a tool.

They asked counterstrike cause Jack THomspon recieved what he velieved was a message from god to blame M$ and being stuck in the past the only M$ based shooter he could remember was counterstrike. So he sent a letter blaming bill gates.

Ah, they just need a scapegoat, just like Jack Thompson is the scapegoat for gamers who are targeted by his supporters. None of those idiotic homemakers and old fools with too much time that believe his rubbish are going to be threatened by gamers, but Jack Thompson is. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, I suppose.
