For christ sake, just cause the guys happened to play videogames.... even if it WAS over a game it still would have nothing to do with gaming. I hate it when people post this sh!t here, as if to imply video games had something to do with. Hey maybe the two guys both shared a love for the godfather trilogy, lets post this on imdb.

That guy is a huge douche, but I don't know what the victim was thinking. Apparently the guy went to the victim's house twice to see the girlfriend. That should scream danger.

I'm not saying the article claimed it had to do with gaming, I'm saying it doesn't belong on a gaming site like this. It's not gaming news, and when it is posted on a game site it implies that gaming had something to do with it, at least in my opinion... Cause otherwise why was it posted here? Should we post news here about anything as long as someone involved happened to play video games?

I guess I better stop playing warhawk before one of the many thousands of players come in one of their warhawk ships and cluster bomb me ha... It is sad that the media tries to blame games in general for violent behavior and now they are stating even non-violent games are to blame.I have been playing games for many, many years and it never once never made me think about expressing violent behavior towards others in any way shape or form. I guess according to the general media the other millions and millions of other gamers that dont commit murder(99.99% of them) are the exception on how the media blames video games for violent behavior. And you know what, this article only mentioned video games a few times and as it was explained that the only connection(if any) was that the person in question met the other 2 people in a forum based on a game, and then states at the end of the article that video game's in general or the game in question that is stated in this article is to blame for this persons violent behavior when clearly that is not even remotely the case if you read the article. The truth is video games are very therapeutic and enjoyable and have many other benefits than just being entertaining even though entertainment is one of the main points, just visit this link: http://www.google.com/searc... . Violent things/behavior have been happening since before the dawn of mankind and now video games are all of a sudden to blame, come on be realistic, there is much more to the story of why that person did what that person did and videos games was clearly not the cause in any way shape or form. I feel sorry for the victims and their families, but to blame video games for this persons violent behavior or for violent behavior in general is obviously ridiculous.

The arrest was in September (the article links back to the original September article).

But now the case is in court, hence all the new details floating to the surface.

The scary thing is that facebook and myspace have made it even easier to stalk people. As a rule I tell all my friends (not just girls) to lock their viewable account to only friends. Also, its a good idea not to add anyone you don't personally know. Very sad story.

Its too bad games got dragged in the mud again. Always the scapegoat. Social media sites, arguably lead to more cases of rape, assault/murder, and other crimes. Games had nothing to do with the murder that transpired. Medical illness and/or pure evil should take all the blame.

Would you retrieve the DSi post rectum shoving or would you just skip the rectum shoving altogether in that case? You might be able to just poke the stylus up there, they are rather easy to replace.

That kind of information is easily attainable if you know how and where to look. The internet has made the world a lot smaller place.

A man obsessed like this would find that info somehow!

He found it from another dude on the forum.

Which is creepy enough, I suppose. I'm on a forum where maybe two people know my address (they were sending stuff to me). I trust those guys, but that's an avenue a psycho could find my address from.

Not that I'm too worried about any psychos being jealous of me and wanting to kill me :) No hot girlfriend :(

I heard he took a dump in the toilet, I knew that taking a dump was the DEVIL!!!

I like making things up, just like the media does, YAY, let's dance!
