Man kills girlfriend for playing too much GTA

Yes, it wasn't the person who played the game that killed someone. It was the person that had to put up with them playing it!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5077892/Father-killed-partner-who-became-hooked-on-Sony-PlayStation.htmlMalcolm Palmer, 62, turned on the mother of his three children after she became hooked on the violent Grand Theft Auto driving game.

well it appears that GTA wasn't the only reason, but apparently it was the straw that broke the camels back.

I'd kill anyone who gets in the way of my gaming :P

It says they've been together for 30 years and she was 46. Does it mean that they were together when she was 16 and he was 32??

Hmm...

"The court yesterday (Monday) heard how Palmer had also become convinced that she was having an affair, and went into a violent rage when she told him she wanted him to move out in November last year, threatening that he would never get to see their children again."

How can you blame GTA when it sounds like a screwy relationship already?

Expect to see Jack Thompson jumping all over this case.

He's right, it wouldn't. He's like the Sen. McCarthy of video games, only Sen. McCarthy realized one day that one gives crap about what he has to say.

I was dating a 34 year old woman and I am 18. I bet people that saw us together were not sure if she is my mom or girlfriend. But as long as both persons enjoy it, nothing else matters

Why didn't he destroy the PlayStation instead?

That's actually a pretty good rule of thumb. I was doing the math trying to think of a way that it wouldn't work, but with the possible exception of an 18 y/o dating a 16 year old, I can't think of one. Of course, I'm not much of a mathemagician.

I don't think the playstation had anything to do with it, she could have stayed up watching TV and told him to move out and the same thing would have occured. Why even bring up the PS3 ? Lamo ...

It would have been so much easier if he attacked the Playstation.
