I don't like these type of documentaries, this is one of the reasons I stopped watching Discovery Channel. They don't mention the safe guards like ratings&c (1) The game was bought by a adult, unless it was stolen,(2) the weapons were available. Like drunken driving there are many checks that could&should be reached before these type of things occur. If the person is underage or not find out how they got something they weren't supposed to be able to get,& do something they shouldn't have done.
100% accuracy? I don't believe it came from fps completely. You can't really feel the recoil physically, also the weight of the gun, the victims, and his physical fitness also come into play. If it was an heavy-machine gun, or a assault rifle, he would get very poor accuracy, he would not be able to control the recoil.
If someone plays for example Ace Combat, then that does not mean he is going to go around shooting planes out of the sky! Games are just games, its influence depends on who plays them. Its effects are different in psychos and a normal human being. A psycho can get violent from even reading a books about war, so does that mean all history books should be banned? Btw, it is quiet obvious you need to have aggressive thoughts when playing a fps, but the effects are not long term!!!
The second his voice kicked in I just knew it was mr. Thompson. As much as I hated his views on video games I'm a little curious, does he hate all games or just FPS? Either way, I think the report of 100% accuracy to the face is a little failing. Of course someone freezes when you point a gun to their face, and of course anyone can pull it off, stop glamourizing his 100% skill. Once again, there must be other factors leading up to the kid doing a shoot out, there always is.
He is an opponent of "Killing Simulations" or "Murder Trainers", any games that give a player the opportunity to murder another human being. Sure that sounds sensationalized, but that's what he hears in his head. He's rather zealous...
