We all know that the games industry is colluding with the US Army to contention and train the minds of young men to fight in wars. Battlefield 3, for instance, is being used to subconsciously train their minds to fight in the upcoming Iran war -- don't you find it highly coincidental that that game was release at a time when US-Iranian relations were at their lowest for many decades?

Breivik used these games in a similar fashion but for a different goal.

Who are these 'we all' that you speak of?

I'm genuinely curious,do you actually believe what you just wrote?

Do you reckon its the one to blame for my rightwing views? Or was that COD3?

All I know is that any time I see a turtle, I know to jump on there head, otherwise they would kidnap the princess .

Some guy killed his mother a while back after getting the idea from a Coronation street episode. I say we ban Coronation Street.

They should do an article on me. "32 year old who plays video games holds down good IT job and has a girlfriend..."

Online game addiction is not uncommon in Scandinavia, so I wouldn't make too much of that by itself. I used to share a house with a bunch, and much of what they did involved a) drinking and b) games - and that was ten years ago. It's even a feature in the media e.g. in the Danish/Swedish series on BBC4 at the moment, The Bridge, one of the police officers has an unemployed son who does little else than a game that looks like Call of Duty. (Hmmm ... I wonder if that is meant to tell us something?)
