Have we really sunk to this levelu00a0in society?u00a0 I believe that this jerk off has wayyyyyy too much time on his hands.u00a0 One thing for certain, if he is gainfully employed, his fiscal priorities suck.u00a0 I know his mother and father…..change that to mother…..he obviously had no father figure….must be proud of him today.u00a0 This lends a great deal of credence to the belief that there is a correlation between violent video games and actual violence (also includes graphic RAP).u00a0 BTW, why was this little item not on the nightly news……at least where I live it was not.

I’m 63 years old, female, and just LOVE playing MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, time management games and hidden object games on my PC. I simply can NOT imagine doing as this misguided individual did. If such a thing happened to me, as a customer, I would simply ask for an update on the corrected game. ::shakes head:: If this happened to me as the vendor, well, smile, nod, and indicate to a fellow employee to PLEASE dial 911. Maybe it’s my age. Maybe it’s the fact that I started out as a waitress and then “graduated” to being a bartender once I turned 21. But jeeminie cryminy! As Bugs Bunny would say, what a maroon!

I’m not a gamer, except for a little poker, Scrabble and the like, but being in the defense electronics industry, I’ve noticed that some systems now are taking advantage of gamers skills by using game-like controllers for real robots and unmanned air vehicles.u00a0u00a0 These young men and women can apply their skills almost immediately.u00a0 I heard in the news that the best pilot in the US armed forces was literally a 19 year old without a college degree controlling UAVs from a cubicle!
