It appears that in a bizarre turn of events - the VTech killer Cho Seung-Hui was, after all, NOT inspired by violent video games to do what he did. The so called “EXPERTS” were quick to jump onto the blame game, instead of actually focusing their energy on the families of the victims. And to think that these idiots get publicity AND money to talk trash!

To lay all their theories to rest, Cho was emulating NOT a video game, but a Korean movie, when he killed those innocent people. He had probably seen the ultra violent Korean film “Old Boy” way too many times. Probably because he knew that emulating pixellated killers wasn’t as much fun as emulating someone on a 16mm reel! Cho had emailed videos of him striking poses resembling popular scenes from the movie, to NBC in between the shootings.

Cho was on a completely different ‘mission’ when he stepped out of his house and from what you’d read about his agenda, its clear that he wasn’t trying to emulate anything he’d ever seen in any video game.

People like Jack Thompson need to get one thing straight - the facts outweigh the fiction. Get your facts right and don’t be hasty to give us your so called “expert opinion”. Before you jump up to make a quick buck and get your 15 second slot on national TV, do a little thing that we’ve done here - it’s called “RESEARCH”!

  [i]“Old Boy”[/i] or not, WHEN are people going to learn or wake up to the FACT that humans like to do what they want to - regardless of the restrictions, or abundance or lack thereof of inspiration! Mr. Cho was going to do what he was going to do. He could have styled his actions on GTA/Kill Bill (breaks my heart to list these…magnificient…things here) or a freaking Mithun-da movie for all I care, but he-was-going-to-do what-he-was-going-to-do! This could have been the bloody 60’s and then we’d have found a different excuse. Wonder what Mr. Thompson or Ms. Clinton’s theories are for Osama….or good old Veerappan? Microsoft Counterstrike indeed.

  Speaking of “ideas”, what about the other side? I’m sure there are a good number of people who find all the research into the “positive” aspects of gaming (better concentration, improved eyesight or whatever, anyone?) absolutely silly. I mean I play games, sitting in one place for hours. I KNOW it contributes to my pot belly and it’s as simple as that. And guess what, I’m FINE with that! I don’t need you to spend some precious money to make me feel better. No thank you!

  Frankly Mr. Thompson and Mr/Ms. Good-Spirited-Researcher-with-too-much-time-on-your-hands, we don’t NEED your precious opinion. It’s human nature to share an idea, regardless of how pricelessly silly it is. And sometimes it’s actually fun to do that! Now tell ME about it. No issues with your voicing yours, peace. But if you want me to acknowledge that whatever you’re spitting out is gospel truth and that the pastime-I-love is making an actual difference to the world…well let’s just hope the people you know can find a way to vent their frustration.

  To add to it:

  “So dear Mr. Holmes found a smoking gun at the crime scene…and guess what the victim died of? Why, of course, the fumes!”
