Nuclear submarine rampage...

Ah, here's the real reason:

Days before his rampage Donovan, who used to go to school with rapper Tinie Tempah, told PO Andrew Love he was planning a Grand Theft Auto-style massacre.

I knew that Tinie Tempah was a bad influence on kids. :mad:

hate how the media jump on this story, nothing is mentioned of the millions who have died as a result of the illegal wars yet the public our 'outraged' at this incident because the media tell them to be

These things make me laugh "psycho killed poeple because of a computer game".....no....he killed people becuase he was mentally ****** up, with or without computer games the likelyhood of this nut case doing something similar was pretty damn high.

If computer games made people go and and kill each other, school would have been a very different place and i sure as hell wouldn't be working in one.

God i hate the media.

Maybe he was trying to turn the nuclear reactor into a gpu? Need that much grunt to get gta to run anything approaching well on pc.

Lets face it guys computer games are bad for us mkay...

We should all go watch the news instead and see the suffering us westerners impose on inocents in the east.

Much more healthy :rolleyes:

I remember the kill frenzy in GTA3 when you found a hidden rocket luncher.

Why worry, before computer games it was TV, before TV it was rap music, before that rock music, before that LSD, before that Reefer, before that the germans, before that satanic cults. Im more interested in seeing whats next.

So what did they blame for the wild west As i remember there were a good few killers of lawmen and general vagebonds roaming the plains. Were they inspired by computer games, or have there always been people who are not quite right, violent and anti social?

They had beta access to Red Dead Redemption

Edit: just read the article. Surprised they haven't tried to make a tenuous link between the commanding officer and the head of Lionhead studios since they have the same unusual surname...

Since, er, the original demo? :confused:

You get bonus irony points for running people over with their own vehicle, a feature sadly lacking in the sequels

Man copies open-world sandbox game where you can act as you like. Bit like real life that.

You don't have to shoot people in the face in either.

The title of this thread is misleading.

I thought it was announcing a new Silent Hunter game.

It was more like Cod MW1 tbh..nuclear sub+guns

''Copying his favourite X-rated video game where players rack up points for kills, he fired four times at Petty Officer Christopher Brown and Chief Petty Officer David McCoy but missed as they dived for cover.''
