DP is officially turning into Gamefaqs. It's like a bunch of 12-year-olds came in and took over. What the hell is going on?

Favorite DP quote:
..... I would be damned if I ever fall for a girl who spends 8-10 hours playing games and only talking gaming lingo. That's not a geek nor a nerd, that's just fucking sad. ~ megasdkirby
oh Good. For a second there I thought that he was trying to rationalize the murder of a parent by equating the words "repressed" with a father disallowing the play of a certain video game that he finds immoral. Whew! Good thing we are on the same page now!
-Yes, I do like Crue Ball
Wait! but did he ever get to play the game?
So in reality it seems like adulthood is dumb luck? Looking at jdc post I think back, I hung out with a bad crew did bad things (we never killed anyone). But was probably jail/prison bound.
But most of that crew including myself, turned into decent contributing members of society.
But there were bad situations that could have resulted in vary different outcomes, over drugs, fights, vanalisms etc.
So maybe it's growing out of the 15-25? (I was good at 23 jdc).
The only thing I can think of was I joined the military?

Basically the judge told this punk ass kid that his "video games made me do it" defense-argument won't work. He will be sentenced soon.

That kid is a D*****ag for killing his parents over a video game.
Would i murder my mom/dad if they took away my games.Nope.
what happend to the good old days when Video games did nothing wrong and no deaths of real-life people that were blamed on video games.
I think that there are too many kids nowadays that are left home alone while both parent work as opposed to the good old days where someone was home raising the children.
In that situation, the child will internalize and latch onto things in his/her life that gives them some sort of feedback like games, music, etc... This is when you get crazy kids. Every aspect of their lives is a derivative of something that happened in a game or something seen in a movie. I feel really bad for those kids who never were given a chance by their parents.
As far as this kid goes, looks like life without parole.
