The question is: can you really blame a video game for these unfortunate events, or was it a multitude of elements in the gamer's life, his/her mental state, environment, various social factors, society in general, etc. in combination with violent games and movies? Isn't taking it out on video games closing your eyes for everything that's wrong with this world and simply blaming the 'easy victim'? @Jason I have those subtle little influences too, but I don’t think that’s the point.

I've always argued that video games have no influence on how people behave in reality. Slowly, but surely that belief is changing... As a parent of 3, staying home with the kids can get a bit boring. My wife and I purchased a Wii with several games, including Mario Kart... Now, I'm by no means a gamer, but after playing that game for a while, I found myself with some very subtle, unusual thoughts while driving. For instance, thinking about needing to dodge banana peels or turtle shells thrown from cars ahead of me. Pretty funny actually, but just the thought crossing my mind leads me to believe that these avid gamers do, in fact, get caught up in gaming and take that to reality. Sad... sad sad sad.
