While I'm sure he had set his classmate on fire, I really, really doubt he actually thought he was a fire mage. |

At least he wasn't a rogue, could have been a lot worse. |

Unless fire mages in WoW require water bottles of gasoline to set their victims on fire. this kid is just another loony kook trying to blame his actions on a video game. Nothing to see here. |

Gamer fanboi. All games are good and/or great, in their own way! Stop da hate and go forth and play! |
Originally posted by Zorvan Yea I find it hard to fathom that someone would consider dumping gasoline and lighting a match/lighter equivilant to casting a fireball, pyroblast, scorch, etc... Now if he had used a flamethrower type mechanism or tossed a molatov cocktail then maybe he would have been closer to a fire mage. I wonder what is next *day dreams*: Chinese man attacked by dog and shot by man claiming to be a hunter from World of Warcraft... *all views, opinions, and scenarios listed are not the wishes of this poster. Any likeness to actual events future, past, or present are merely coincidence* |

Why do I think sometimes they just blame something they love instead of themselves? I think he just wanted the boy on fire. Nothin more. |

Immolate ftl :<
Anyway, sorry to express myself in such a 12 year old way but fuck, im getting sick of all this shit lately. No freakin wonder Jack Thompson gets supporters, i mean what the fuck is wrong with our society lately. I can go out buy an AK47, rob a bank and then the police arrest me and i just blame my actions on a silly game that i have never played before like Kane & Lynch and sudenly, video games are the cause of problems. |
