Camp hack n’ slash can feed your ‘Darkest Thoughts’
As if the circular blame game surrounding violent crime wasn’t bad enough, one particular British tabloid has decided to implicateDynasty Warriorsin the Adam Lanza school shooting. Yes, we’ve moved on fromMass Effectand are onto a game that doesn’t even featureguns.
“Chillingly, his favourite video game was said to be a shockingly violent fantasy war game calledDynasty Warriors,” writesThe Express, “which is thought to have given him inspiration to act on his darkest thoughts.”
Yes, that’s right — the camp, kung fu B-movie stylings ofDynasty Warriorshas transformed, through the power of journalism, into a “violent fantasy war game” with “chilling” implications and the power to feed one’s “darkest thoughts.” A game with no blood, that refers to defeated opponents as “KO’d,” and isn’t even rated 18 — the series isthatfriggin’ tame.
I alreadyranted about the cowardly buck-passingof the violence-friendly news media, so I won’t go into it again. Iwill, however, provide video footage of the game thought to encourage thedarkest thoughtsof a killer, just to highlight what a fucking ridiculous bunch of shitting idiots they have writing for the Express. Enjoy!
