17 year-old James Callaghan, a person with a history of undiagnosed schizophrenia and known to be violent under the influence of alcohol has, in what is a particularly senseless tragedy, killed a 65-year old woman with an axe. Callaghan, after dispensing with a bottle of vodka and arming himself with point instruments of death, forced his ... [»]
Paediatricians, not to be mistaken for kiddy fiddlers, have apparently established an irrefutable causal link between media violence and untoward aggression in children. The American Academy of Paediatrics claims that "The evidence is now clear and convincing: media violence is one of the causal factors of real-life violence and aggression," particularly outing the music industry for glamorising sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and violence. They do also take stabs at visual media – TV, movies and videogames – saying that "the ... [»]
The global economy is still in the crapper, leading to far fewer purchases of big-ticket luxury items like cars, yachts, and private islands. We all know that!

He’s also the He's also the Karmapa Lama, making him the only politically recognised senior Buddhist leader. So probably not your average 24 year old then.

Videogames really have become this generation’s heavy metal – a scapegoat for all of our prevailing social ills. While it’s usually murder or school shootings (Videogames ARE murder-simulators, after all) that point the blame at our hobby – this time videogaming is the trigger for latent paedophilia, apparently. Contemptible 38-year-old Ontario deviant Michael Cherry has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography – and offers a rather interesting explanation for his acrimonious malady. "I'd work, come home . . ... [»]
So the other day, I was a little bored so I decided to pop Crackdown into my Xbox 360 just for old times sake.

When you see "Pirate" and "videogame" in the same sentence it normally recalls images of dodgy copied games and chipped systems, but not this time. This story has real pirates. As Reuters reports, increased attacks by Somali pirates around the Horn of Africa are threatening shipping routes, which could interrupt supplies of videogame hardware and software in the West. In this case I believe the west to be Europe and not the States. Somali pirates have plagued the Horn of Africa for years, but what's of particular concern now is that they've been encroaching into the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, impeding access to the Suez Canal -- a major shipping route that connects Europe to the Middle East and ...
