Norway suspect admits using video games for 'training-simulation' - Yahoo!7

what a joke, now its gonna bring up the whole 'violent video games are a bad influence' arguement...and WTF does world of warcraft prepare u for??? in case u come across a boar during ur massacre and u have to cast a fireball at it??? seriously?

'The man accused of killing at least 93 people in a youth camp massacre in Norway has said that the video game 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' was a part of his training for the "long-planned mission".

Calling himself a crusader against a tide of Islam, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik has written in detail about how he used Activision’s 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game' and Blizzard Entertainment’s 'World of Warcraft' game to help prepare for the attack.

“I just bought Modern Warfare 2, the game. It is probably the best military simulator out there and it’s one of the hottest games this year. I see MW2 more as a part of my training-simulation than anything else,” he writes in his hate-filled 1500-page online manifesto.'

There goes the agreement in principal that has been reached towards an R18 game classification in Australia.

When my dad told me he was going to explain his actions in a day or 2 I immediately said its going to be so ridiculous and crazy the world is never going to get a real explanation.

Though I did not know that the gov was considering R18, BFT...... I got mortal kombat through for a mate though

[1SIKR8]

Whaaat a ####ing joke, maybe this is his plan to make up some bullshit story the game brain washed him and he was mentally un well then sue activation for compensation ..... Or the judge will just have him hung

[Pickle']

the judge should have him hung

[quick308]

the judge should have him hung

That would be to nice, they should still have public burnings for people like him.

I play Minecraft so now i'm going to dig a massive hole, and construct a mechanism where angry mobs of people run at me, and fall into a river of flowing water, which flows up to lava but does not turn into cobblestone or obsidian, thus burning the angry mobs! It shall be a grand massacre!

Then i'll just spawn TNT everywhere and fly at 20 speed to the moon

[hi_ryder]

i was shooting and cleaning small arms and assault rifles by age 10 way before these games came out, and i turned out fine far as i can tell... guns dont magically levitate themselves and pull there own triggers and video games dont make people violent.... there has to be a wack job at the wheel to make it happen.... if guns and video games kill people, then spoons made rosie o'donnell fat, and bottles killed daren hinch's liver

[87RB30VL]

My pile of games are 99% all MA high violence etc etc gore etc, & I've been gaming since the Sega Era & I'm fine.

Next, Pokemon will inspire people to cram animals into small balls & throw them at people...

I just pissed myself laughing! thanks for making my day~

Great just as they were about to get a R18 rating for games and make gun laws simpler in NSW something like this happens which will likely turn back all the progress

one of the few things (besides pic of the day and youtube vids) that actually make me lol irl. good work.

[ephect]

james bond 007 the game was the first to have 'real' response to limb damage, was awesome at the time. i cant see how he can use that as an excuse.

maybe they need to start including a body suit you wear when playing the game, that shocks you when you take damage to a limb or fryz you when you cop a kill shot! Copy Righted ephect!

that'll stop the ####ers from using the game as an excuse

pushing for air rifles to become legal without a license.

[Jezza]

well playing MW2 wouldnt have helped as much as bad company 2 since MW2 doesnt simulate bullets losing speed and dropping over distance like BC2 does

but firing a gun in real life and in a video game are completely different and no amount of games can prepare you for firing a real gun

[87RB30VL]

It's funny because I used the moon-mode/slo mo cheat on one of the Tony Hawk games when I was learning how to Ollie on my skateboard, and after a few days I could do it flawlessly haha.

Then I accidentally done a sick grind down a rail which caused a nearby building to collapse revealing a crazy ass halfpipe!!

[Bravotwozero]

R18+ rating will still go ahead so don't get your knickers in a knot.

[87RB30VL]

Hopefully they patch Silent Hill to remove the black screen from the torture scene, and also to show 2 halves of the guy Pyramid Head kills [Not giving any spoilers away].

Also, Steam had better patch L4D2 to remove the L4D_LV file from updating when you play multiplayer. That is the folder that you delete in order to play uncensored single player.

[Luke V8]

Its not just games, movies too...... for example - I was watching Napoleon Dyanmite and now i have mad skills .... you know, like nunchuk skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills..

[minux]

These idiots who claim these games can help them train are idiots.

As someone who has played these games in real life, I can honestly say not ONE of them will help anyone do anything...

####ing nutjobs.

[elmaso]

DAMN IT!!!! just as mortal combat was pending! *slams fist on desk* i'm a get violent now!
