Thompson has said that "Halo" publisher Microsoft should be sued and held liable for money damages by victims of the Beltway Snipers; the two accused of the shootings said they practiced with it.
Oh yes, I can definately see the relation here. You practice for sniping someone by using an Xbox controller to aim laser rifles at aliens. How does that even translate to using a real gun to snipe people. I play Counter-Strike all the time, which uses realistic weapons, and I know that I would not be anywhere near proficient in the use of any of those guns in real life. I wouldn't have any hope of being able to control an M4 or and AK-47.
