"A COURT has been told two men dressed as characters from a computer game shot a man dead in front of his family during a home invasion in Sydney.

Twenty-one-year-old Sophear Em is standing trial in the New South Wales Supreme Court charged with the shooting murder of Josef Logozzo at his Cecil Hills home on January 7, 2002.

He has also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mr Logozzo, a wholesale fruit distributor at Flemington markets, and shooting his wife, Marianne.

Crown Prosecutor James Bennett SC, told the court Mr Em and another man invaded the Logozzos' home shortly after midnight, dressed as characters from the computer game Counter Strike. During the invasion, Mr Logozzo was shot in the chest and his wife in the hand."

Please, do not bash vgames anymore, Liebermann has you covered anyway and besides you don`t intend to join all the irresponsible parents who blame vgames cuz their poorly raised children shot someone and then claimed they were possesed by Doom, I mean, look at the movies and gangsta rap lyrics before you point your finger to the vgame industry, parents who don`t care enough are the reason for psychologically damaged children not Pac-Man.

 

[SheDevil1]

Uhhh.....lol. I love video games, see, the topic title was a joke, Jagoff. Think before you post! Okay? Thanks, bye.

 

[fabian]

I don`t buy your cheap excuse Illinoise girl

 

[nessonite1]

Don't underestemate the dangers of PacMan, fabian. Many innocent children have been killed running down the road and trying to gobble up the dotted white line.
So sad....

 

[SheDevil1]

"Illinoise girl" learn to spell, DUDE! I've probably played more video games than you've SEEN. 😛. I own DISCS full of illegal ROMs..... I mean, ahem, nothing. 0=)

 

[Kalamos]

Bash *him*.

 

[Dr. Ticklefesto]

It's not the games at fault, but the retards who went and killed the person.

If they're that unstable, they shouldn't be playing games.

 

[ElFewja1]

...The video games arent even relevant lol. If they are, youre saying that if someone dressed up as the scream guy and killed someone, its the movies fault >_>. Pwnt.
Btw, SheDevil, you framiliar with sinistar? If not, play it; old arcade game, its great =p.

 

[Ticklekiller1]

Thanks for giving me a good laugh. Sorry about the poor dude and lady that got shot though...

If you click on the link there is PS2 advertisment. Very ironic. Anyways video games are harmless. I think people just want to blam video games because they think they can get off easy for what they've done. What, did they dress up as Leisure Suit Larry or something? Just because they dressesd up as some video game charecter doesn't mean games are evil. Also, Liberman is a F***er. 😀

 

[SheDevil1]

I want to dress up as Mileena and go ripping people's heads off with my teeth :sharp_tee

 

[Kalamos]

How are you going to fit all that *meat* in a skimpy outfit?

[Let's see if reverse psychology works, once in a while... 😉 ]

 

[SheDevil1]

Meat? what? lol

 

[Kalamos]

No, it didn't. She's too smart for this kind of simple tricks. 😉

 

[SheDevil1]

Maybe if I understood what that meat comment was about? (You lost me.)

 

[Kalamos]

Yours.

I was trying to imply you were "fleshy", so as to goad you into posting a pic of yours, to show you weren't.

But these kind of mental tricks usually backfire, so, really, why bother? 😀


If and when you'll feel like showing a pic of yourself, I suspect it will be next to impossible to ignore the fact. 😉

Besides, I'm too lazy to try any harder than this.


Oh, and as any educated person knows, videogames hurt as hell! Especially if they strike you with the cd-case.

 

[SheDevil1]

Nah, goading doesn't work. But maybe you could send me money. Lol.

 

[morgandee]

It's true, though.

One time, I threw some video game cartridges at this one dude, and he said "Ouch! That really hurt you mean jerk!" Thus, proving that video games can hurt people.

 

[Kalamos]

Once I've almost blinded a pal with a 20-sided die. This goes to show DnD can hurt too.

...


SheDevil, money you say? Fine with me. I never quite liked this "feeling" thing.
People come, people go. Money never betrays you. 😉

Oh... now, don't start and say I'm mean and greedy, just because I love money.
I also love cheques and bonds - yeah, I really love bonds...

Now, now, I'm not that kind of person: I don't really think that everything can be bought with money.

Besides, if you can't buy it, you can still steal it. 😀

Nice job, lol.

And Kalamos, Im sure some idiot somewhere has choked on a d20 before =p.

 

[Kalamos]

No, not chocked.

I *hurled* my red d20. And probably rolled a natural 20 too, since I hit my pal straight in his left eye. Almost gouged it out.

...

I've got a deadly aim when trying *not* to hurt people. 😀

 

[AphxA1]

well yeah one time i jammed my thumb. I was playing super smash brothers melee and i was trying to catch that little yellow bastard pickachu and some how my thumb locked into place. Guess i was hitting the analog stick too hard. ><

 

[SheDevil1]

Beating on Pikachu was fun. I sorta miss Super Smash Brothers..
