Mass Effect being blamed for Connecticut shooting.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd like to point out that in ME3, there is a mission where you SAVE a school from terrorists.

Sorry. This isn't shocking me anymore.
Humankind proved they were capable of idiocy this potent when they tried to use Night Trap as evidence of...any sort of thinking, let alone malicious.
Personally, I lost hope in humanity when I learned there were people who un-ironically like Freddy Got Fingered.

Media companies that are in direct competition with the gaming industry are blaming games for mass violence? Go figure...

 

[Dumoras]

idiots. the game was sold in the millions. did they not think some bad guys might like the game too. every popular product has a bad guy owning one.

 

[RedRuby185]

Just once i'd like to see this as a headline

"Bad Parenting, psychotic son and ineffectual school psychologists blamed for school shooting."

This will only happen when people outside the gaming community grow a brain.

I love radical christians. Don't you? GAME IS WILL OF SATAN! OMG

How old is mass effect? 6 years? four?

Video games will always and forever be blamed for violence caused by young adults. I wonder what they blamed before video games were invneted. Gambling and drinking probably. But adults did that and they didn't want their past timest o be OGM CORRUPTIVE GEE-GAW. So, video games.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd like to point out that in ME3, there is a side conversation where you can choose whether or not to arm the civilians with guns after a terrorist attack (and spoilers: Arming the civilians gets people killed).

So ME3 wins on both accounts.

Bioware: 1

Idiots: Negative infinity.

The proverbial frack!?
I can't make reason out of this, it's error.
It's like that episode of Buffy, only no ghost-demons are involved. Jeez!

 

[Sean Wagner]

LOL, MA3 is indeed more didactic than the so called news stations. Great point.

 

[Misho-]

So if he liked Pizza on his Facebook page, is "Pizza" responsible for the massacre? WTF?

 

[Kevin7557]

Anyone notice they are only Christians.

 

[jimbob123432]

I... I have no words. My brain just hemorrhaged at the stupidity. STUPID ARGUMENTS KILLED ME! WE SHOULD BAN THEM!

 

[snowbear]

Anyone notice they are only Christians.

Yet they blame video games when their "religion" is one of the greatest causes of murder and hate? Seems logical...

 

[Jm2k]

Well, I enjoy 1960s noir films and red wine. And I do belive most serial killers enjoy those things rather than Mass Effect. Still, the things I get frowned upon for liking are my "silly little videogames".

I'm really not going anywhere with this other than pointing out how nothing here makes sense.

Dear god, the idiocy hurts my brain.
