Quote:
A man accused of beating to death his heavily pregnant ex-fiancee and killing their unborn baby has described his addiction to supermarket alcohol and the Guitar hero computer game.

Tony McLernon, 24, told Chelmsford Crown Court he daily drank 20 litres of a cider and sparkling wine mixture.

Sounds to me like he was rather more obsessed with alcohol, and that may be more relevant to the tragedy at hand. That is unless he bludgeoned her to death with a guitar hero guitar.

Guitars don't kill people. People do.

20L a day of supermarket cider is a serious drink problem. I suspect that the reason he drank that was budget

Quote:
Mr McLernon, who said he had suffered from depression and was prone to self-harm, denied claims he had physically abused her and previous partners.

So lets ignore the alcoholism and blame the game. :roll:

I have a cartoon on my wall, of two journalists..

Journo A : "Let's try to understand what lead up to this crime. The accused had alcoholic violent parents and he was frequently bullied/beaten up at school. He likes guns, video games, karate, alcohol and drugs."
Journo B: "Video games, you say?"

Yes but reality is far too boring for journalists to report on. I would imagine apart from learning to play the guitar the only thing it would teach you are how to trash hotel rooms? ;)

Aw, I remember Guitar Hero.
When did everyone stop playing it again?

Rocksmith is where it’s at, and that’s far tougher than Guitar Hero due to it needing a real guitar.

Yes but real guitars can be used as a real weapon.

Actually, this is probably the most famous example.

At least they did not mention the video game. It would have trivialised the real crime.

Anyone want to develop a game I’ve just thought of? Guitar Death Rampage. :lol:
