In no way does this have ANYTHING to do with video games and in no way should video games be blamed. They could very well have had the same outcome fighting over the last chicken leg or the batteries from mom's dild0.

Yea, but that is not what the anti-videogame people will say. I bet they will be saying that the boy was compelled to stab his brother because the game was so addictive.

Well obviously this 13 year old kid was far too addicted to his little game - to a degree to which he was willing to kill his brother.

Video game addiction is a big problem though and obviously in this case it ruined the relationship between the two brothers. People shouldn't take gaming this ****ing serious.

I want to know what game this was. I know that a lot of WoW players are addicted to a degree that they have no life outside their virtual world but this game was obviously for a console. I want to know what it was too.

That's not the way certain people in government (i.e. Joe Lieberman) will look at it... after all, they were fighting over a video game controller, and NOT their mother's dild0.

I think this kid might have been playing video games so much that he doesn't know once you kill someone that means the end. Because in video when you hit "Restart" everything usually comes back to life. Maybe he just doesn't know what kind of world he lives in and had no life. Therefore he stabbed his brother thinking that he would come back to life. If you noticed he wrote "I just stabbed my brother" saying it as if it was not a big deal. I feel sad for this kid dieing over a stupid reason though.

He's 13. There is no way he doesn't understand death by 13.

And I agree, it's gonna give those anti-videogame bastards another reason why video games should be banned from the world today.
People would stab random people for no reason at all today anyway, it just happens. There's no need to worry.
