The massacre at Virginia Tech in April this year has, according to the official report filed by the Virginia governor's office, no link at all to videogames.

The report, which includes a mental health history of the shooter, Seung Hui Cho, notes that during his childhood he had "played videogames like Sonic the Hedgehog," yet "none of the videogames were war games or had violent themes."

I am not so sure about this. Playing Sonic always made me agry.

Still, good news for once for gaming world.

"This flies in the face of statements made on Fox TV news by Jack Thompson in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, which laid the blame for the incident firmly at the door of videogames."

anti game tards should be forced to actually play video games and maybe turn on a pc,
