He will be missed.... Hope he doesnt drop the soap hehe

He will be "missed"? Asti de moron de tabarnack...

/shakes head

Not sure about that post title, to be honest.

If the past 5 years of MMO releases are anything to go by, we might all still be playing WoW in 2032.

What does this have to do with World of warcraft?! he played HALO 3.

oh  and close your eye, I have a surprise for you.

It said he got two headshots, dang he's good.

 A real shame,

Not just the live's lost and another ruined but also from the post's in this topic.

Let's hope your family never goes through an episode of clear psychological problems,though I guess it is always funny when it happen's to other's?

"The prosecution said Daniel Petric then tried to make the shootings look like a murder and attempted suicide. He shoved the gun into his father's hand and said, "Hey Dad, here's your gun. Take it," Mark Petric testified"

Clearly a premeditated murder. Imagine a 17 year old that is so foul as to try to implicate his own dad with the murder of his mom. He should be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. All this for a game of Halo 3... LOL.. stupid idiot.  23 years... he'll go in the slammer as a kid and comes out as a hardened criminal. As for the tears.. he's probably realized that he have destroyed his own future ... as well as the future of his own family..either that or he realized there are no XBOX360 in prison to play HALO3.

How someone can plan to murder his or her parents is beyoned me, this kid is fucked up in the head

Completely mental. Irredeemably mad.

I hardly think Halo 3 was this dude's problem.

Where did it say anything about WoW OP?  Anyways, Halo 3 is a good game, but damn!  That kid is seriously jacked up.  His parents may have deserved to be shot if they allowed their son to get that nuts!  By 17 you should have a good enough relationship with your kid that they won't plug you in the head for taking away a video game.  Perhaps he was a neglected psychopath?

the human mind is one interesting thing ain't it

Just give the kid Halo 3 back, making him play it is punishment enough.

Disagree. I think that will just let him lose grip of reality again...

Remember the lot of crap about video games with violence a bad influence?
This is another view... replace the "Halo 3" with something else he's addicted to and as long as there's a gun lying around... conclusion?

Of course, but you won't see the over zealous anti-violent games camp mentioning that.

yes, yes it is.

troubled people aren't terribly hard to spot and it's not like it's a secret that people, especially parents, don't pay enough attention.

Too true my friends, too true.

I asked myself, "Would this even be talked about in the light of an addiction if it were something else?"

Would people be talking about addictions if he were 'obsessed' with fixing up old cars and they took his keys and tools?

What about if he was 'addicted' with playing Super Mario 3?

What about if he spent most of his time dancing and they took away his beats?

What if he was 'addicted' to taking pictures and they took away his camera?

Of course no one would bother talking about addictions or obsessions, because it's ridiculous. I spend a lot of time reading, but if people took away my books and forums and news articles and everything.....eh, well scratch that because if someone had the ability to take away -all- of that i'd probably have to kill them. You get the idea though.

How does WoW relate to this article?

In regards to the violence in games, some developers are just looking for trouble. Some E3 trailers were just dispicable. I'm not in any way in favor of banning games because there's violence in them, but some companies (Valve) need to get a clue before they release trailers.

what was wrong with L4D trailer, E3 is a 18+ event so there was no one under age to see it really :/

Thanks to the mentally unstable like this P.O.S., this is just one more case that the "anti-video-game" lunatics can use against the gaming community. In cases like this, it makes me wonder if the parents ever thought "Hey honey, Daniel has been playing that darn Halo 3 for about 9 hours today. I think he even missed school. Maybe we should take it away before he gets addicted." Apparently not, they let the franchise sink its teeth into their child and he became obssessed. Obviously there are no rules in this household.

Verdict: I blame bad parenting.

Also, a pastor had a handgun?

Nothing is wrong with anything so long as there is some pre-empt that let's people be aware of what is going to be in something like a video game/trailer/movie/tv show before they start watching.

Which generally speaking there is some rating mark or something to that effect. If parents can't fucking control their kids then that's their own problem.

When I was a teenager (the 12-17 bracket) my parents had rules. When my grades slipped, the few times that they did, due to excessive gaming then my time was either restricted or I wasn't allowed to game at all. I had been brought up to -obey- and -respect- my parents, even though i didn't like it. Point is your kids aren't supposed to like it, but they're supposed to listen to you because you really do (are supposed) to know what's best for them.

I don't have kids, but I can -easily- spot something that kids shouldn't be watching or doing. My parents never blamed the violent movie/video game when I did something stupid, they blamed me for not knowing the difference when I should.

This kid was fucking 17 years old, plenty old enough to know right from wrong. His parents clearly didn't raise him right. End of story.

Maybe you need to get a clue before venturing onto the internet.
