You gotta be kidding ! Here we go again with the knee-jerk response to so many tragidies today, make the buck. I say watch your kids, be involved with their lives, teach them the difference from right and wrong, and watch for changes in behavior that can't be explained easily by puberty. Talk to other parents and teachers. Don jump on the "its all the computer or movies or TV's fault hell it just as much yours...... :mad:
It's sad what our world has come to today. Everybody is interested in how they can benefit from a tragedy.
WTF?!? i guess some people just cant accept the fact that their kids are F@^ked up in the head, so they try pulling stupid $h|t like shooting up a buncha people who made fun of them.
How about they sue the family's of the people who were bullieing these kids. Come on this is such a crock. This is typical of people. What are they trying to acomplish here. That's all I am going to say about this.
Well I am going to start a petition of all the crazed people I know that WOULD go and shoot up their work if the didn't have video games as an outlet to their agression.
i am sad what happened to them but geez ...
i guess this means we can sue Bill Gates for the headaches we have had in windows ... same thing isnt it!
They say the massacre would not have occurred without the marketing of video games, particularly the game "Doom," which they say influenced the two gunmen.
This is retarded. DOOM influences people to act out violently. I am going to Sue FORD next time I get a speeding ticket cause those darn mustang commercials influence me to speed. WTF WAKE UP. One word. ACCOUNTABILITY. The kids that did the shooting are responsible for their actions PERIOD.

Amen
P.S Besides, if doom influenced everyone to kill people, well, then i think over half of our population in the US woulda been killed off already.
Also, if you do feel infulenced to go shoot people up with guns, play paintball
I wonder how many of these "bad" games were given to kids from "Santa", or as birthday presents, etc....?Quote:

Okay, I'm gonna sue Robin Williams, Rowan Atkinson, and Drew Carey for making it impossible for me to take anything seriously. In court, I will prove my point by making fun of the judge. When I'm successful at that, I'll come back and sue Windrivers for making me a geek.
This is SERIOUSLY lame.
I'VE GOT IT...
I am going to sue Sessame Street because I was immitating them and I crammed my green friend in a trash can where he later died. Oh the horror, the pain, I can't go on.
They left out ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, TMC, Universal Studios, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox and all the ones I forgot, because they all have produced, broadcast, or reported violence.
Then there are the magazines like Soldier of Fortune, Guns and Ammo etc.
Gangster rap...can't forget that. Sue the RIAA.
Gun makers, because you know that those gun ads all say "Kill people". Right there in the fine print.
Who made those trench coats? Did they need to be made so they would conceal a weapon?
Did these guys walk to school? How about suing the car, truck, bus maker that gave them the ride to school.
I don't try an make a joke out of what happened cause frankly it makes me sick. But, I am so sick of the finger pointing. The parents and the guy that gave these idiots the guns got sued. I think that is enough. Quit trying to cash in your childs death. Money will not bring them back. Saying it is the fault of game makers will not bring them back. I play violent games, I don't kill. I play race car games, I don't speed. How many millions of copies of these games are out there?
Those two jackasses were just plain sick in the head.
I echo JvaGuy and Window_Washer on this...getting a little out of hand...
I'm going to Sue Cobra for allowing me to be his Lackey and becoming evil, if it wasn't for him I would be a vet at a petting zoo helping animals and on the weekend I would read out of the bible to blind Nun's and sing songs to the tone deaf. Yeah i think this will fly.
Well, after playing Daikatana I felt influenced to go out and kill John Romero...
OMG! this is the last straw. Now i'm just gonna have to go home shave my head cover my windows with bible pages and killed everyone stupid whos pissed me off!
C'mon Gimmie A Break!
I was playing Roller Coaster Tycoon and all of a sudden I felt an urge to go build a roller coaster, it was like a voice in my head. Build a 9 looper it said over and over again. Build it and they shall come. Whats this mean?
The first three computer games I owned were Wolfenstein, Doom, and Duke Nukem. I have NEVER felt an urge to go shoot someone dead(at least, not seriously). Frankly, fragging the heck out of someone in UT helps me relax and get the tension out. The real problem in cases like this is not related to the games, and society needs to start looking to the adults in these kids lifes. There, I think, they will find the real cause.
I hope they lose the case, then have to pay court costs. Then get a flat tire on the way home.
If they actually get awarded a settlement, I am moving to the UK before i die of embarrasment!
I guess my case against the estate of Tupac is looking up tho- these gangsta dreams i keep having are causing headaches which prevent me from realizing my full potential as a human being...
well i often realy want to shot somebody but understand the consiquances and have self controlQuote:

Anyone remember when a family tried to sue Ozzy Osborne for his songs over which some loser killed himself?
Nothing ever came of it, and so will this end.
I don't understand this point of view at all...if video games are the root of all evil then how do you explain crimes of this nature from 50 years ago...100 years ago? This isn't a new phenomenon it's just a scape goat for people who are too scared to look within themselves and find the source of their own problems.
This is a factual thig people!!!
People get twisted from vid game use!
What was that game Hitler played? And, Kahn used to play, wel I can't think about it now.
Nero used to play unreal tournament you know! That's where he got the idea to slaughter the crhistians!
Mistake one kids went to school with their problems instead of to their parents. Mistake two parents went to media with their problems instead of other parents.
Who is being left out of the loop? (or should i say ring of blame?)
If I ever grow up to be an adult that stupid I'm honestly kill myself. (And then you guys can all get sued cuz its your fault for participating in this discusion)
WTF is wrong with people?
Yes I am suing the hot girl in my class because she is so beautiful that staring at her caused me to do poorly on my test.
I also forgot, I am going to sue the maker of my mattress for lost wages for making it so comfortable that I slept through work.
This is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen, it's a disgrace to those kids' memories.
So, I was reading this and thinking, If they sue our video game developers (and win) then those developers would have to pay a large sum of money. This money would have to be made up for in some fashon, so the developers would (like the tobacco companies) be forced to raise their game costs. Now that would be a shame, because a larger portion the tech workers hard earned paychecks would be required to buy our wonderful games. Couldn't we form a class action suit against those familes for directly causing an increase in game rates? Hmmm... I'm in, anyone else?

No but we could Sue the families for allowing there childern to Bully other kids and that caused the rise in prices. We would have to prove that we were not inffluenced by these games so that means that Cobra and I would not be allowed to testify. We would also have to prove that the game price hike was directly related to the law suit. The amount of time and effort to do this would be so silly it would be a waste of time. However I am going to sue Fox for creating a game show called boot camp. I went to boot camp and never won any money for it so I think Fox owes me $500,000 because I compleated it. It may just work.Quote:

I could totally understand this if <insert FPS game title here> had a "Columbine" map. But come one. Remember the game "Postal" that was out a few years ago? No one went out sueing them (that I remember) I could understand victims of that game 1sueing the software manufactures, it would still be a streth to pin the full blame on them.
^^ what i am realy worried about is if they win there money,
what is next, are game developers going to have to tone it down. its not like games dont have ratings on then now. i would hate to play a shot em up game with a bubble gun
lol, yeah that would suck, educational first person shooters. Final level would be paying the family's of the monsters and the undead you killed.Quote:

Did you ever hear that game Nerf Blast Arena, it was built on the UT engine, and was an example of how a nice family game could created using the technology that is usually prone to gory frag-fests.Quote:

I heard it was pretty good.... Never played it tho, I'm not all into those wussie games. So sue me.... no wait... nevermind. :cool:
^^ aaaarrr neft aint got jack on a rockett launcher i want blood i want to see his head smeared on the wall no what i mean
All my accountibility are belong to you.... :p :p :p
This is just to ridiculous for me to even comment on.
If I kill a bunch of people, its my fault. Playing ultra violent games does not make me a killer, but in turn, reduces my want for death and destruction. If I stop playing the games, I might just do it in life. Can I sue the people suing the games developers for taking away the ven tof my anger. I don't want to play Nerf Doom or Air-rifle unreal. when I play AvP, I want to see that sucker bleed! :D
Just another BS attempt to NOT take the blame for not paying attention to what their kids we're doing and what their state of mind was.
yea....blame anything as long as the parents are not to blame.
This is pathetic, as far as I am concerned.
