(1/5) > >>

justanotherstudent:
i'm referring to FPS games mostly, but you can use any games in your argument as you see fit. i'll post my opinion later, when i see a few others' ;)


discuss.

elemis:
A woman in America was playing a game of Farmville on facebook..... murdered her newborn because it kept crying and interrupting her game play sessions.

justanotherstudent:
yup, i read something about that. apparently she "shook" her baby to death..  :-\
but of course, farmville doesn't "promote" violence. imo the mother was had an addiction to it, and that coupled with what seems to be some serious anger management problems made her do what she did
