Sorry if this is old news; it was up on Drudge today. The article is bonkers.

The "VIOLENT" computer game, World of Warcraft. Thanks ABC news for spreading your propaganda and informing us that computer games are evil, especially violent ones like World of Warcraft.

It’s pretty relevant to note much of what the killer said in his opening statements, in which he described secret societies, battles for purity, global conspiracy, and refused to recognise the jurisdiction of the courts. Very few press outlets took his comments at face value nor reported them as fact, strangely enough, but rather pointed out that he was either mad, or trying to appear mad. Now he has told the courts that he played World Of Warcraft for apparently 16 hours a day for a year, and saw Modern Warfare 2 as a police-shooting simulator, and not only is the press at large taking it as fact, but most are twisting Breivik’s words to their own interests. Something has gone very wrong when the horror of his actions is being used to fuel irrelevant agenda.


I have found a superior article on the issue and do not understand why you picked such a shitty source as ABC (... and the link appears to be broken).

Prosecutors: Killer Played World of Warcraft 7 Hours Per Day

Quote:
He has previously stated that he played Warcraft, as well as another "first-person shooter" game called Modern Warfare, for hours daily.

Well, obviously it was because he killed some wolves in wow that he went outside and murdered everyone he saw. Not because of an FPS.

mmo's make you evil don't play them otherwise you will go around shooting at everyone

In a March 2008 post on a web forum devoted to the game, user "Andersnordic" posted that the game had been responsible for making him "300kg, bald and pale," and told the game's developer Blizzard Entertainment, "You'll hear from my lawyer!"


Best part of the article tbh.
