Another alleged videogame related death. This time involving the popular Xbox shooter Halo. 11 year old Johnson Creek boy Nimm was apparently a big fan of Halo, even taking a liking to firearms after playing the futuristic FPS. While at home skipping school Nimm was apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child). However he did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber even when the magazine ejected and was found shot through the head yesterday.
An 11-year-old Johnson Creek boy died from a gunshot wound Thursday at his home. Foul play is not suspected and the sheriff's department said this morning it appears the shooting was accidental.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, dispatchers received a report of the shooting in the town of Farmington at approximately 2:15 p.m. Thursday. The deceased person was Joshua J. Nimm, 11, of W5098 River Road, Johnson Creek.
Deputies, along with personnel from the Johnson Creek Police Department, Johnson Creek EMS and Fort Atkinson paramedics, all responded to the residence where the shooting occurred.
There, with his father, Nimm was located with a fatal gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroner's office about 35 minutes later. The cause of death was ruled to be a single, .22 caliber gunshot wound to the head.
No one feels the need to go an hero after 'Shock or HL.
Halo never sucked at all, it is one of the biggest selling games of all time and thousands of people still play it today all over the world and its nearly a year old.
to be on topic:I hate it when people blame games for random violent outbursts.

And when there is no hope,
"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!"
When theres no enemies,
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
and in my ignorance,
I'll be a slave and sycophant!"

So because it sold well, it's a great game?
Excellent logic.
Everything in it was boring and nothing new to the genre. SS2,Tribes,HL,SWDK, all had what it has and more, with much better engines.
Name some good qualities about Halo, if you will.
Lets first point out that it is not the first popular shooter on console (Goldeneye,Turok,Perfect Dark), has a bland and unoriginal storyline, is is praised for good graphics yet the graphics engine is pure shit and not even comparable to Crysis, it's physics engine is mediocre, it's level design is boring and repetitive, the weapons are unoriginal and basic (We had all this shit and more in SS2 10 years ago), it's multiplayer is overrated and mainly played by n00bz, 15 year olds, and people who can't play anything else or go to real lan parties because they'd get owned, it's AI is primitive, practically no player abilities, no other elements from other genres, basic interactivity that gets overrated for no reason..Great, basic teaming and shit..didn't we get that in Tribes and Oposing Force about a decade back?
I could go on and on, but you'd just pull the product sales card.
To that I say no FPS to my knowledge has gotten more GOTY's than Half Life, which was released over a decade ago.

Iyts multiplayer is actually excellent, a great range of games, map variants, Excellent DLC,MLG playlists, double EXP weekend etc. Halo's multiplayer is the best first person shooter multiplayer on xbox imo, much better than CoD 4(now that is full on nubs and campers), and halo is not full of noobs, it is actually completely full with experienced players who are good...I would describe these people as nerds, but that makes them the complete opposite of nubz.
