Columbine Video-Games Suit Dismissed

Dr_LHA writes: "This story on Yahoo! reports that the federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit that claimed the influence of video games and movies where what caused the Columbine High School massacre. Obvious to those of us who play GTA3 regularly but still manage to overcome the urge to plough over pedestrains on the way to work in the morning, but good to see someone high up showing some sense."

Okay, how about a Mormon Temple Mod for Quake{1,2,3}? You storm the gates of the temple, plowing over a few of the long-skirted women passing out flyers.

Next, you upgrade your shotgun to the railgun in order to take out the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

You step down to the nailgun for a few missionaries who get in your way.

Then you pull out the BFG to confront Hinkley himself. But it's not the BFG -- it's been modded to be a bowel of lime Jell-O. :)

I could be way off base here, but after playing GTA3 for numerous hours and then getting in my car, I tend to believe that some with less willpowermight find it hard to control themselves.

The game is just too damn fun.
