I heard there was a person that is sueing Rockstar games because his son murdered his friend in a way depicted in the manhunt game by rockstar. He is claiming that its the industries fault, and that they should be the ones to blame. Frankly I think that blaming the industries isn't right, because there is no proof that playing games like that cause any problems, and I have personally never met a person who has ever been influenced by video games. what does everyone else think about it?

Well the thing I think is the worst about it, is probably the fact that he is blaming the company, when for one the parents bought the game, and two, its clearly labeled adult content and 18+ stickers are on all the copies, so frankly I think the man sueing the company is at the most fault, for not paying attention to what he bought his kids. That would be like buying adult movies for a 5 year old and not relizing it was an adult movie, then blaming the movie industry for his kid seeing naked people

Blaming the industry is soooo wrong. By that logic i could beat someone over the head with a bat and blame Mario for it because i wanted to see if a coin popped out of they're a**. I don't about you , but has anyone else been possessed by the spirit of Tommy Vercenti or Mario? I know i sure haven't.

In the news....Many Wow players are being considered racists due to many comments being told to other players from other countries. Is this really an issue? I see pages talking about it, but never knew it existed, or that it ever got to be so bad. Ive been playing guild wars and almost never see the kind of flaming they are talking about, except against "noobies" in guild wars. So I was wondering if anyone else saw these kinds of things happening?

Dirge of Cerberus released yesterday.
And in today's news Thompson is back on Rockstar's back. He's demmanding an early copy of Bully, and says if he deems it unfit, he's suing.

What a jackass, as usual.
