I live in Montreal and I know a lot of people who were effected by the recent shooting at Dawson. Not to excuse this guy's behaviour, but this whole thing has really made me "see the light" concerning the violence we encourage in our society. I think that this site does a good job at providing fun games that do not follow the "Kill all the other team, rofl!" storylines found in so many games in our culture. I would encourage everyone to continue producing games with a message of peace.

i heard about this on tv when it was first broke to the media. but what actually happened?

also, i agree about the violence. ive tried to stear clear of violent scenes. although i use a Gangster persona sometimes.

i think fantasy violence is great.

Hey, me to.  I did a current event about it.  I'm not sure if you in Canada know about this, but we had a similar event which is known as Columbkine or something like that.  I read CNN and found this.  He even played a simulation for this.  (WTF?  Somebody made such a tradety (sp?) a game!  If you want to know more info about this event, PM me.  I have enough information on it.

Yes and dawson happened in montreal its so bad that that guy would do that.

Yeah, everyone's heard of Columbine. It seems that the guy who did Dawson regularly played the game you're talking about... And just to be clear, I think violence has it's place in games, but when the game is more aobut killing than purpose, it's destructive.

Violence is one thing I don't have in me. I play killing games all the time, I would even play ones like that. They don't effect me at all, I'm just too good.
