I agree with JJ, just for the sake of it.

A bit of B and C. Blame the parents for not being more involved in their kids life and blame the kid for never explaining anything. Parents have to know that a kid is not just going to tell them everything that goes wrong in their life, especially males since society expects them to 'take it like a man' and never complain.

I say all.
The Video games simply was the cherry on the top added with his bullying issue and him not reporting anything to his parents yet alone spend any time with them.
The bullying started the issue, him not talking to his parents increased it, his parents not doing a single thing made it worse and adding violent games to his resume was the cherry on the top.
The parents should of done something, spoke to their child and the child should of felt safe and secure to tell his parents their problem to them. I believe the child playing violent games was a way for them to escape the harsh reality he was in. The child didn't know that playing violent games would make his problems escalate to the point were he would be shooting children then later turning the gun onto himself.
This problem was as simple game of "Ignoreing ones problems." Blaming it soley on the parents, the child and the games is not possible. All of them had a factor to blame for the crime and the child's tragic death.

Had to dig around this board a bit to find this thread, xD I know we've pretty much spoke our minds on the topic, but a new study has shown some interesting links between violence and video games. This study found that it's not the content of the games that triggers violence, but rather the feelings of failure. In essence, it is the act of losing and the frustration during hard portions of the game that triggers violence, and the devastating feeling of failure people can feel after. The content of the game is basically irrelevant. Take a look! www.newswise.com/articles/feelings-of-failure-not-violent-content-foster-aggression-in-video-gamers |

That's something I can genuinely believe to be true, considering I do get annoyed and frustrated at certain parts of any game. Again, really interesting read. |

I voted for "It depends". The way I see it, there's no simple answer to this question. Video games which depict violence do not necessarily trigger aggression. You have the Assassin's Creed series, where murder is clear, evident and encouraged, yet I don't see anyone hiding from bales of hay luring people to their doom. I'm being a bit literal, but it doesn't strip my answer from its truth.
I think it's a bit based on the risk-reward system of the brain, I see it first hand with my brother while playing WoW. When his character dies while on a raid, he gets all hyped up, because of all the adrenaline pumping through his system. When the boss is killed, dopamine kicks in and he calms considerably down.

Me I Personaly think it depends on the person.
My little brother when 6 my 9 year old brother would play call of duty with him, and he ended up stabbing some dolls.
But on most, it doesn't effect them. It's like saying hey you watch historical war documentaries, now you're going to rise up against your government and fight them. Or playing surgeon simulator makes you a surgeon.
If you see...different sources of violence are acceptable to put people around, and some, even if they aren't as bad, seem worse.
For example, the bible. Many wars and battles are accounted there, sometimes pretty vividly. They've even made some pretty awesome, and gruesome television shows based off of these. Just because you're in open contact to these stories, doesn't mean it will make people kill thousands of your enemies with an ass' jaw bone, or circumsize and murder an entire village while they're immobile from said act for raping your sister, or you javeline a king of your enemies in the heart.
So just because you're exposed to something, it doesn't always mean you will turn out, like it. Some people they are bad for, but most of the populace it doesn't affect. Games have ratings for reasons. And if you know it affects you, you shouldn't play it.

Does Goat Simulator make you turn into a goat?
I think not.

I recently read an article about this and it was showcasing this upcoming game. To me the game is extremely exaggerated in its violence. Now I've played GTA and many others, but this just takes it to a whole other level. I'm guessing the point of it is to kill and be killed?... Anyway take a look at the small trailer and tell me what you guys think What do you guys think @thatwiseguy and Pharah? |

The game is tasteless and the developer is a Neo Nazi, so I'm sure the guy has issues. |

Just a dude with extra big pockets killing people on a "genocide" crusade. Honestly it seems pathetic |

It honestly depends on the person who's playing it. But honestly, I can only see video games as a tertiary factor to violence at best for someone who actually goes out to commit a violent act.

Anyway take a look at the small trailer and tell me what you guys think What do you guys think @thatwiseguy and Pharah? So at a time when video games are being accused of being Mass Murder Simulators, someone thought it would be a good idea to make an ACTUAL Mass Murder Simulator? And I bet that when people complain, he will just shout "ARTISTIC LIBERTY!!!! CENSORSHIP!!!!!!" and make something even worse because "MUH FREEDOM!!". --___-- As for if games make people violent, I would argue that while some take it WAY too far (see: Whatever the hell that game is) that most people will not be effected by it. I mean, I have largely the same profile as the Newtown Shooter (Aspergers, likes violent video games, bullied in school, interest in guns, stays in room most of the day, etc) and yet he killed 23 people and I havent even thrown so much as a punch at anyone. Of course, when I play my games, I also try to be the good guy. For instance, whenever I play Fallout 3, I always fight for the Brotherhood of Steel because they actually care about helping people in the Waste, and I NEVER work for the Enclave because even though I agree with President Eden, I can not help someone who wants to kill of the entire wasteland by poisoning the water supply. Or when I am playing Tropico, I am a nice dictator who gives his people jobs, nice houses, excellent services, etc. and only take a little bit of money for my secret Swiss Bank Account. Just my 2 cents on all that. |
