17-year-old Ohio teenager Daniel Petric was found guilty this week of shooting his parents. The prosecution said the attack was provoked when his father forbade him from playing Halo 3, and yeah, you can probably guess where this is going ...
In his sentencing, as transcribed by GamePolitics, Lorain County judge James Burge intimated that he believes -- "as a human being ... and not a jurist" -- that gaming can elicit similar physiological responses and addictions as some drugs (sound familiar?). He further decried the creation of a delusional environment. The quote that's currently making the rounds is, "I firmly believe that [Petric] had no idea at the time he hatched this plot that if he killed his parents, they would be dead forever." In other words: Petric didn't realize there are no respawns in real life, according to Judge Burge.
Of course, attributing Halo 3 as a causation of these crimes is probably reaching, especially when most of the other 6.4 million who bought the game seem to be of sound mind. We're no psychologists, but to us it seems this is about the wrong mind and the right catalyst inciting the most heinous of actions -- whether it be Master Chief, Niko Bellic, The Beatles, or a German Shepherd.
Lawl at the bolded part...he makes me think of FPS Doug. Seems like all the child related cases are being caused by Video games, shame really...when it's a lot of the times the parents fault. I'm guessing this kid was messed up before Halo came out.

Teenage Halo 3 addicts are just stupid. He's living in his own little Halo world and not living in reality. He pretends that reality is Halo and makes everything person, place, and thing just like the game, which is a cry for help. And all these reports of teenage gamers murdering their parents because they took their belove Halo 3 game away has gotten old, but we should still debate on it.
