All over a PS3...

As quoted by Mike Hsu on WAAF:

I think the PS3 has become the Matrix where people create a reality in the system and that they will do anything to advance that while disserning everything in real reality to get it....

Let us be lucky that us PC gamers don't have to suffer such thievery and murder...we have a constant feed of hardware on NewEgg!

Hey, the kid was a gamer, maybe they just figured he would respawn.

Unfortunately, it was game over and no more quarters.

Too many kids are dying. We're close to breaking last years record here in Cincy for homicides and it's mostly young people.

Think of the bright side, it will be easier for future generations to pay for the remaining teenager's social security for when we retire!

So what's the homicide rate in Cincinnati? Didn’t Donald Rumsfield compare it to the murder rate in Iraq?

Last year in the greater Toronto area we set some kind of record with 78 murders (a total of about 662 in the entire country). At least half involving guns and an equal proportion involving young victims. That gives Toronto a homicide rate of about 3.1 per 100,000. Not bad for a city of its size but still way too many.
