The virginia tech guy wasn't a gamer. He just played counterstrike on occasion. And they all sold that commodity until it would sell no more.

In another 40 or 50 years, almost all adults will have grown up in a video game rich environment. Maybe the senate will have a LAN party.

I thought most hardcore gamers were angsty teens/young adults who waste countless hours in front of a screen accomplishing little more than pupil dilation.

It is "still owned by the black population", but licensed for use by suburbufoons when behind a veil of anonymity. If a middle-class suburbanite white boy utters the word in any context in RL within earshot of someone who is not a close friend, he just may get his lilly white ass beat the f**k down.

"I don't play one game repeatedly, I always get the new NCAA and Madden when it comes out" thinks he's a gamer.

Its been shown? Do you have a source? Have you ever considered that violent people tend to play video games more... correlation doesn't mean causation.

I made $15k playing video games in my free time(I'm also in the Army) so I wouldnt say I accomplished little more than pupil dilation.
