deathbringer Posted September 1, 2006 Because i'm using the forums again. Oh and theres been another school massacre, a comparitively "minor" one this time (two students slightly wounded), but undoubtedly Doom will have been the cause of this... Edit: And i guess the news story link would help http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/01/us/01shooting.html 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted September 1, 2006 When was doom blamed for anything? 4 maybe 5 years ago? 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted September 1, 2006 I'm sure i can remember it being mentioned in the "Manhunt" case in Britian, (specifically the Daily Mail saying that "The original versions of Doom 3" where responsible for Columbine as if it was a fact) and also "Violent games such as Doom" being mentioned around the "Blades11" massacre. Of course in later years GTA has taken over as the main scapegoat, but who can tell how tabloid writer's minds work? 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted September 1, 2006 Wait. How can it be a massacre if no-one was killed? Use a dictionary next time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted September 1, 2006 DOOM and Duke 3D will always garner mention in articles on violent games because they pioneered the "problem" as most politicians and journalists see it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted September 1, 2006 This sounds more like a typical homicide case than a massacre. FAIL. In any case, thank god the kid's a fucking idiot for telling someone about his so-called massacre, otherwise, more people would have gotten killed. 0 Share this post Link to post
