Submission + - Murderous Psychopaths Play Games (ign.com)
silentbrad writes: From IGN: Anders Breivik is a mass murderer who killed 69 people, mostly teenagers, because he didn't like their opinions. He is a political extremist ... a fantasist who claims to have ties to The Knights Templar. He is on trial right now for those murders, and, in the presence of his victims' broken relatives, he showboats and poses. ... He is also a gamer. ... On this revelation, there's a temptation to shrug shoulders and say, 'so what?' It's such a commonplace pastime, like eating in restaurants or enjoying professional sports, that it barely merits consideration. ... Some in the games media have been quick to cry foul over media coverage ... Indeed, it's not just gaming under fire. ... Unfortunately, we'll hear a lot more from him in the days ahead, evil stuff far more troubling than his enjoyment of role-playing and shooting games and his bizarrely juvenile relationship with the fantasies he enjoyed.
