Use your brain bro. Think.... How do games get from the store to your house?.... Think real hard.... :roll:

trans-dimensional portal?

 

[jjones]

Yes, because teenagers never street raced before video games were developed.

Sad that the innocent taxi driver and not the two idiots died.

They'll make someone a nice piece of meat in the joint though.

Playing NFS games growing up actually made me a better driver once I started driving.

and here I thought nfs was a reaction to reality and not the other way around

No, it didn't.

The fact that you think it did means you're probably a WORSE driver than you otherwise would have been.

i hate retarded kids that ruin games for people. why the fcuk would you ever do something like that? im 16, and i would never even consider it. even though NFSMW is my favorite game right now. a car is a means of transportation, not a way to jerk around and be a complete dumb ass, and KILL PEOPLE.

Bad parenting. Not bad video games.

OMG!!! He had a video game!!! Let's blame his reckless behavior on an inanimate object instead of on him or his parents for not instilling some sense of responsibility in him!!!

Yeah kids these days are getting worse. I went to court the other day (got stopped by a cop, and lucky me I didn't put my new insurance card in the car and the card in the car said it expired two weeks before) and this kid was talking about his 2000 Impreza 2.5RS and how it makes 230hp..he's going to turbo it soon so god knows what type of power he'll be making.

Oh, he was 17.

*edit* oh, he was in court because he was streetracing.

That is not a new phenomenon.

It's easy to blame an inanimate object like a video game then say, parents or the kids themselves. Not that the games are wholly innocent though and I think they share the blame.

See I disagree to a certain extent. if one can't realize the difference between a game and real life, they need some serious help.

Video games can act like a catalyst for idiotic behavior. Most kids will emulate anything if its fun, thrilling, etc.

How do you transport things from one place to another? UPS? Fed-Ex perhaps?

Edit-When I go to the shooting range I have, get this, guns and bullets in my car!!! :shocked:

and if they emulate anything that is fun, thrilling, etc., and is also dangerous and puts lives at risks, they they are a fvcking moron and need some help.

The only one not an idiot that is involved with that story in the least is the taxi driver.

:thumbsup:

 

[Cooler]

was he playing the video game while driving i know some cars now have an xbox and PS2 in them.

 

[hypn0tik]

This happened in Toronto.

It's a very sad story indeed as he was supposed to be receiving his Canadian Citizen ship the next day (i.e. today I guess).

 

[natto fire]

I'm glad I always keep a copy of this game in my car at all times. If I am in an accident they can automatically cite the other driver. Because what games you have in your car obviously influence your decision making process.:roll:

 

[ShadoWing]

haha only stupid ppl do stupid things like that....just take them outta the gene pool....we're all a lil better off that way

Nothing in the story said that he was playing the game while driving. They only found a copy of the game in the car.

"A game is a game," Toronto Police's Det. Paul Lobsinger told CTV Toronto. "And when you get behind the wheel of a car it's not a game anymore. And when something tragic happens in a huge crash with a lot of smoke, there is no reset button. You can't start over with a new car and a new life."

i know that is a quote, not sure if its from that article or not, but that is specifically about that accident

and that is fvcking sad if they really think the game is the reason that people street raced fast cars ...

Seriously. . .where do you think they got the idea for the game from? Art imitating life or life imitating art?
