I'm sorry, but this made me laugh so god damn hard.
You do realise there is a tad bit of a difference between cutting a underground mutant grub in half with a chainsaw attached to a assault rifle on a game and cutting some in half with a chainsaw in real life?
It doesn't make a difference if you played violent video games all your life or not, killing another human being is not something you can shrug off or feel less traumatized by just because you've seen it happen on a video game or T.V.
tl;dr: Shut up Zayex, you're an idiot.
On topic now, I completely agree with Hamster, he needs to be put in jail for some time, then in rehab for a longer period of time, if not his entire life, for the safety of the public and himself.
in the name of the manly balthier send me your orc/chronos/gladiator items
pls

I'm disgusted with humanity, and this is proof to how our advanced brains make us a truly terrible species. Other animals don't have the mental capacity to be "good" or "evil" or "crazy". They're mostly kind to eachother, unless threatened.
I think this is a prime example of how disgusting humans are.
Yes, I agree with you NormalCitizen. Because we humans have an advanced thinking ability, we can do really crazy but good things like giving your life for someone, but we can also do the most heinous and evil things.
Allow me to bring up the topic of Chimpanzees and Bonobos. We humans are very related to both apes but are more related to Chimps and they're known for being very violent creatures, fighting for leadership and being very agressive. The less known Bonobos are much "nicer" to one another and they would rather have sex to resolve conflicts(it's true no malice intended) rather than try fight.
Here's something from http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/li.../l_073_03.html
How did bonobos, which live in humid forests south of the Zaire River, evolve such a different social structure from chimpanzees since the two species split about 2 million years ago? Male dominance plays a big role in chimp society. Disputes are often resolved by threatening displays or by fighting. Female chimps lead a life much more solitary than that their bonobo cousins, and are sometimes harassed by the much larger males. Sex is strictly about reproduction, and reproductive tactics can include infanticide -- the killing of offspring unrelated to a male chimp. Infanticidal individuals remove potential competitors to their own offspring, and the mother, without an infant to care for, will become available for mating again much sooner.
In contrast, bonobo society is marked by the strong bonds that develop between unrelated females and by almost constant sexual activity amongst all members of a group. Bonobos apparently use sex to reinforce bonds within the group and to resolve conflict. What evolutionary advantages do these behaviors offer?
a spoon.
This is some pretty crazy shit. However, I don't agree with people who say "This is why humans are so /disgusting/, and I'm implicitly superior to everyone else". Shit like this isn't statistically significant: There are enough people in the world where the .00~0~01% person has some sort of mental issue which causes violence.
What bothers me, is the extremely immature sense of justice going on in this thread. I truly hope you guys are all around Jake's age, or I weep for the future of the gaming community. And we don't even know what's going on here. Perhaps there was some psychological abuse going on? Dunno.
I just hold that the kid needs and wants help. not torture, kids.

These are listed in order of the bold text.
1. Nobody ever said anyone was superior to anyone, check your facts.
2. Your statistic is redundant, and he had no mental illness.
3. There is no immaturity here at all.
4. Um, yes, we do know what's going on here. Try reading my last post, where I quoted family and neighbors and pretty much spelled out that he had a good life.
5. You're fucking retarded.
