@Edamame: very true. I'm just saying most forms can be... tricky to identify, because kids and teens are so conflicted and insecure to begin with. spotting variables leading to sociopathy can be hard.
@MrDirector786: I was being facetious. I have friends who play video games and are absolutely awesome. I've met the occasional other person who doesn't play video games and they can also be F-ing creepy. People are great and horrible, brilliant and stupid across the map. I'm not saying anything negative against anyone because of what they enjoy to do. As comic people, we've all had a little too much of that.
Thats so depressingly horrible. I really want a god's eye perspective on this, watch this kid though out his whole life just to see what went wrong? Its just obscene. Poor lady, thats just a horrible way to die.
" I have noticed that some (not all) video game players get very angry/irate simply because they lost a match or game. Video game playing is supposed to be fun/funny, not serious and intensely competitive, in my opinion. "
Your opinion is wrong. They are supposed to be serious and make us angry. If you're having fun, then you aren't playing correctly.

too true. I remember when i was a little tyke, like maybe 8 or 9, i would get SOO mad when i lost a race playing Wacky Wheels. lol. but now i'm 20 and i realize that its called a video game for a reason. it's nothing more than simple entertainment. people who take it too serious are kinda disturbing to witness...
Sounds like the kid had an addictive personality. I'm sure a lot of pundits are going to roll out their "video games are bad" material in response to this, but the sad fact is that this kid would have probably snapped and done something like this regardless of what he'd become "addicted" to.

This has nothing to do with whether or not video games are bad this is about a little monster doing something evil the real problem in this world is we focus too much on the minor issues like fictional violence and video game systems that when you get right down to it are just really expensive toys. If you kill someone for taking a toy away as far as I'm concerned you've been relegated to the animal kingdom. Screw this kid I hope he dies and ps if you freak out to the point of violence over a video game there is most defiantly something wrong with you
