Up yours!

The kid killed himself and this guy finds a way to attack gaming and gamers about it. Honestly I don't think he realizes how much alot of the people that play video games really do. I'm an active person and I play video games as well.

The other thing you have to ask is what was his motivation? Was it because he was an outcast in school and couldn't take it? Or could he just not get past level 4?

Sure, there are some people that have nothing better to do than play games. But I'm sure that even they go out and see the sun every now and then to do SOMETHING. And to insult the intelligence of gamers by saying "masterbatory" and looking for a childish response is really foolish.

I think that he really underestimates just how productive alot of geeks that play video games are. Alot of them get into computer science and math and start to build things like better computers. I mean, look at your average high school nerd and watch him aid in the discovery of how the outer plantes are formed. We need these kind of people in our society!

I play alot of video games, but I still have a life. I have a job, I deal with all the stresses of school, I'm in the musical, I'm going to audition for the one act and chambers for next year.I'm just trying to say that he's definitely got the wrong idea.

and using "masturbatory" and expecting to het a chilish response out of us is foolish. Sure, some may have chuckled, but I'm sure that alot of people really didn't know what it REALLY meant.

Yeah! what a dick. I couldn't even call it masturbatory because a lot of people use video games as their outlet, as much as an artist uses canvas and some paint, or a photographer with a camera, or an athlete with a basketball and hoop. It's how you deal with the stresses of life. Video games are a great place to forget about life, and to stop thinking about things that go on in life.
