This is why we can’t have nice things

A US teenager killed his mother and wounded his father in revenge after they took away his violent computer game, a judge has ruled.
The defence team for Daniel Petric, 17, had argued his addiction to the Halo 3 game, in which players shoot invading aliens, had made him insane.
But the judge rejected this, saying he had planned revenge for weeks.
Read the whole article; it’s disgusting. The guy is either genuinely crazy or an absolutely terrible human. Either way, he should be kept away from the public. See how much Halo you get to play in prison, you sick fuck.

That’s odd, I read that the judge had bought his wacky defense.
Also: Halo 3 isn’t even that good of a game.
Wait a second, WHAT?! How can you say that Halo 3 “isn’t even that good of a game”? It’s the best FPS I’ve ever played (and yes, that includes Call of Duty). I think it’s better than the first Gears too, but I’ve yet to play the second.
Try Half-Life 2, or anything by Crytek.
