When the media went to see if they could uncover any game related motive in the Colorado Church Shootings they came to a shocking discovery. The shooter, Matthew Murray, was actually not allowed to play games during his youth. This was obviously the media’s first taste of “reverse video game frenzies”, as the Denver Post reports:

On another website, a poster named nghtmrchld26, believed by police to be Murray, said he rebelled against an upbringing that forbade him from buying rock music, video games and popular DVDs.

Those damn video games, they cause you to be a menace to society even when you aren’t playing them!
