How is this news?

Do you guys just hunt down any crime that tangentially involves games and then phrase in such a way as to demonize them? Honest to Christ, one of these days I'm gonna come to this site and I'll read this headline:

"Man commits murder. Is found to have owned video games. COINCIDENCE!?"

-.-

Firstly, he is a professional journalist because he is paid (professional) to do reports such as this (journalism). He isn't doing them for free.

You imply it takes a professional to report with any ounce of skill. Hardly. It takes someone with at least some sense of credibility and a basic understanding of highschool English.
Way to quote two words and ignore all context in order to "prove" a point I've already debunked. I am impressed.
You seem to lack much in the way of witticism beyond sarcasm and that hardly counts. Not very biting, friend.
You based your post on two words and offered the wisdom of a dictionary. Not much to bite on.
If you feel this way, why are you wasting our time? You may be okay with trolling a forum, but I feel the conclusion has been reached. It's time to move on.

When I'm a parent, I don't expect to be able to play any games unless I'm playing them directly with my kids. That's why I'm looking into the Wii-U or its successor rather than how to tie lashings.

Your choice. I'm just pointing out that your accusation was unwarranted, and your expectations of an entertainment piece submitted by the author of a webcomic are unrealistic. That's the conclusion I reached. I'm more than happy to depart from this conversation with the agreement to disagree on the matter.

I mean come on... he made a bondage joke in the byline! And you're complaining about improper treatment of the accused?

this is why we need population control:

a, so people don't spread like a plague and devour all the reso.. too late.

b, so children don't get in the way of active society ( seriously, i'm tired of the whining screaming just from my neighbors kids ) and you may well say it's only for a few years, but the average-homemaker lives in one place for 7 years or so, so it just repeats itself, over and over..*

c, so they cant be tormented

d, cases of bad parenting would be vastly reduced because people would need to apply for some kind of breeding licence and if they were busy dumb-asses poor or psychos they'd be told to f-o


* i already moved to the countryside, i live in the middle of nowhere unfortunately it's a good place to develop

I can say that I'm kinda addicted to video games, but when it comes to responsibilities like say being a parent (which is still I am not yet) and household chores I have to stop playing, do my responsibilities and schedule when will the next time I will play again.

But what really strikes me is the friend "Tiffany" is the one who freaked out instead of the mother.
If that's her reaction, it seems that it's already routine in that household and why is the mother not in jail? She's responsible as that asshole.

I'm glad to see another video game player is being mercilessly portrayed as a child abuser because he plays video games.

Prosecutor: So, sir, do you play Grand Theft Auto often?

Howe: Well, I, uh, what do you mean?

Prosecutor: Do you, Mr. Howe, play the violent video game created by Stonesta-

Howe: -Don't you mean "Rockstar?

Prosecutor: You are a sick man and would probably be stabbing prostitutes right now if they hadn't nabbed you.

Jury: Prosecutor Jones.

Prosecutor: Yes?

Jury: Do you even know why Howe is being tried?

Prosecutor: ... No.

Jury: *Facepalm

Tied up a girl
And he's to blame
Buddy, you give games
A bad name.

Still, this could have been a lot worse.

Er um, yeah... it amazes me how many people forget how much work kids are and how much you have to give up for them.

Couldn't he of waited for the child to go to bed at least o_O

you know i'll a admit, i would love to tie up my children and leave them in another room. maybe not to play video games specifically, but to get a break, yeah. however there's a gairly broad line between wanting to do something, and actually doing it. For shame.

Also in regards to the kid. can you say bondage fetish?

Okay, while this isn't -particularly- serious (I mean, couldn't you imagine an older sibling tying their kid brother or sister up as joke) in this case, it doesn't have that feel to it. It's got more of a feel like that scene in "Casino" where the Rodert De Niro comes home to find his daughter locked in her room and tied to her bed because her drug-addicted mother went out to get stoned.

It's especially telling when the girl says it's happened before AND she's got ligature marks (aka bruising) from it. Overall, this sounds like one of those domestic abuse cases that you dread hearing about because not only is it disturbing by itself, you have to worry about people drawing connections between it and gaming.

One man's dumb decision to tie up a four-year-old girl so he could play games was bound to end in tears.
Haaaaaah! I see what you did there!

But more seriously, this is only really related to video games in a fairly passing way.

Must be a slow news day or something.

I'm not even shocked to read things like this any more.
People are just retarded in general.
If we're visited by aliens, and they decide to wipe us out, I wouldn't blame them.

When I'm a father I fully expect to give up gaming at the rate I do right now. I don't think this guy got the memo that children require constant attention even if he is just a babysitter instead of the father. I hope I never get video game addiction to the point where I'd tie up a child to maintain concentration.
Yeah, you need too. Luckily I have an understanding wife, so when I want to pop in a game and kick back (Usually now reserved to the weekends) then she will keep an eye on the kiddo and gimmie an hour or so after work. Same with her, if I see she needs a break I take the baby. It's all about teamwork and communication and smothering the kid (With love of course!).

My game time has went from around 30-40 hours a week to 10 and that's mostly when she's asleep. The great thing is, games last a hell of a long time. I haven't bought a new game since Skyrim!

I find it crazy that parents make priorities and it's that gaming is still the number one after having a kid. It makes me realise that gaming addiction is very real and just as damaging as raising a kid around alcoholics or drug users.

I don't know whether to think that people think I lack a sense of humor and am taking other people's jokes too seriously. But I put a "sigh" at the end or something. Or that I have an overly twisted sense of humor and therefor don't have a good one, continuing on such a darkly humored joke. Or that people don't get that we're joking.

My joke was probably pretty lame. But it should be pretty obvious that Sarah was making a joke and I was making a lame attempt to continue. There we go, that's the joke. Always explain the joke, that makes it funnier.

I'll admit, even though I may come off differently, I am capable of joking about some pretty messed up things. I think people take me overly seriously sometimes.

I'm not being elitist when I'm saying this, but. FOR GODS SAKE PEOPLE

BE SURE when you're ready to have children. They are not some play thing that you can have whenever you want. "OOO look how CUTE IT'D BE to dress them in' NONOONONO NO!

It's the same with puppies. You get them; they're cute. oh wait, no they poop, they pee, they bark, they need discipline, they chew. Oops. N/m. Send them to the pound to die.
