It really doesn't seem to connect to video games. The article itself did not hold any clues as to a motive, but video games are only mentioned as a contextual item. There were other brothers were present prior to the murder but left the 25 year old attacker and the 9 year old victim alone because "They were both so engrossed in the game play."
Yea. I think that it's nonsense. Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone was motivated to anger by the controller for Tony Hawk: RideFreebird95 said:
I don't know much about Tony Hawk Ride, but I thought that it was one of the active games, where you actually get physical playing the game. So when I read the title, I thought someone was getting rambunctious, and fell while playing the game. I dunno, cracked their skull on a table or some such, and then people were in an uproar cause suddenly being active is dangerous.Freebird95 said:
Glad to see it was just a stabbing. (Well, as glad as a person can be in the event that someone has died.)I was looking for that myself. Games get so much heat, that so much as being killed near one generates gaming violence controversy.Eric the Orange said:
Actually, thats what i though, thats the skating game that comes with a board you ride. If he fell of and hit his head or neck right it could have killed him easily.Freebird95 said:
Actually, no. Harlem has a real track record of being a far more dangerous place than other areas. Games have no track record of being present in the lives of people involved in violence any more so than in the lives of people in general.cswellz said:
