There's a whole bit about this thing in Max Payne 2... There's this woman (a ho) who comes to the police station and reports a crime. Apparently her boyfriend, who likes to play video games, is threatning to kill her. If you listen to the conversation she has with the clerk, you hear all sorts of things like "Those video games teach you how to shoot and handle a gun very well. Holding that controller is just like holding a gun!". In the game the moment is all rediculous and funny, but then I read stuff like this and it seems that people really think like that... Guns don't kill people, video games kill people.

 It's like this.. WE all understand that playing violent video games really doesn't make everyone violent in real life.  But look @ the older folks and others who have never played these games... its but natural for them to think that these are the root causes of all these murders committed by juveniles..
 
 Also look @ the guy who's suing the Company. Well there's two angles to it:

 1. he might have never TOUCHED a video game in his life and will try to win the suit purely on the basis of conjecture and the statements of  two *homos* who want to save their own asses.

 2. Win back some lost ground (he lost the previous suit on similar charges).. and so in the end it all turns out to be kinda PERSONAL..
