Come across this new article and again video/computer games are to blame.

Seems a 18 year old killed a 54 year old taxi driver and blamed his game.

Police said the youth, an obsessive player of "Grand Theft Auto", showed no sign of mental problems during questioning and had confessed to committing the crime because of the game.

"He said he wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game," chief police investigator Veeravit Pipattanasak told Reuters.

is the link.

Don't you think the kid had a couple loose wires before playing?

Shoot...That is how I get all my rides in the city. I can't believe I have not been caught. The best part is when I get a lady in my car and I pay her. Then I ditch her and her body and get all my loot back.

I personally get in my tank from time to time and throw artillery shots into the air because of this game. I hope I don't get caught either.

THAT'S what I found in my back garden, wow you've some range outta that, I thought aim-bots only assisted with targetting, not extracting huge power.

BTW, nice shot, always hated that gnome.

Of course. The game does not make people crazy, it can bring the nut out in some people.

This goes all the way back before video games. Remember the paper and pencil D&D? That used to bring out nuts killing people.
