Could Anders Breivik be the harbinger of death for video games as a mainstream source of entertainment? Who?
Seriously?

This is funny because just last night I was watching something on Gametrailers tv where they had a marine testing the same guns that appear in CoD and Battlefield by running an obstacle course. He concluded that the accuracy and mobility found in the games is 100% make believe. I think it was a story based around the new Medal of Honor.
all the fallout I been playing, ill be ready for post 2012!

Anyone who has shot real guns knows that video games do jack shit to teach someone how to use a gun. You learn just as much watching TV
That would actually be pretty neat if playing FPS games increased your aim, even for people who aren't trained in firearms.
Frankly, as somebody who's played his fair share of CoD and who's been trained to use automatic rifles in RL, the quoted results from the accuracy survey sound bogus to me. But hey, if http://www.*****************/ say that it must be right.They are creating accurate people.
They have nothing to do with creating murderers, thread title is willfully ignorant and is also stupid.
I learned how to properly backstab a dude from Dark Souls.

I like reading people's responses.
And even if it did, improving your accuracy does not make you a murderer. Ridonculous.BattleMonkey said:Anyone who has shot real guns knows that video games do jack shit to teach someone how to use a gun
Does Rock Band produce people who can write music?
Wait a minute, Daily Mail got banned?
Now the OT doesn't have to be filled with BS stories.

For a reason.
Penn & Teller BS touched on this topic. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/GLBx9XOhsm8?t=3m37s
iirc, the professor mentioned in the article claims that's not true -- that video games can't be used to vent. If anything, they make you angrier.Also also, I'm not writing this expecting more games to feature darker and darker human crimes. Obviously there are games out there that pander to the lowest level. And I'm glad they exist if only to release some valve in some person's head. Perhaps, just maybe, games that feature cheap thrills have prevented someone from committing a horrible crime.
