Late last evening following the completion of a match involving two Los Angeles based teams a fight was initiated outside of the Gamers X LAN Center, host of the CXG Los Angeles Qualifier; upon learning of the disturbance Chris Hill of CXG, and my son, was asked to try and resolve the matter and stop the fighting; as he broke up the fight he and others were jumped by people associated with Team BZ. As Chris, and others attempted to calm the situation a member/associate of Team BZ ran to his car opened the trunk of the car grabbed a gun and placed it to the head of Chris Hill while other Team Members and associates encouraged the person with the gun to fire!
It's the little fucks like this and give all of us a bad name.

He was killed by homocidal gamers?
gotta wonder what went through Mr Hills head while this went on. Got a feeling that team BZ is sooo banned/disqualified about now.

Somthor had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
and people say that games dont promote violence.........whistles....
Wellsir, the same could be said for anything remotely violent. Heck, after football and soccer, you've got riots and such.
In the end, it's not violent videogames that make these acts. It's easily suggestible people with single-digit IQs.
God help us if you ever start playing CounterStrike.

Which is why I said games and not computer games. People cant seem to leave it on the playing feild/statium etc anymore.
I played Counterstrike. I was terrible at it. I quit after getting repeatedly owned all the time.

What's to say they weren't already pre-disposed to violence anyway?

Wrong, alot of things promote violence.
It is not hte game itself that promotes the violence, its the stupidity of the people.
It is the fault of the people, not the game. In the past, people were able to control themselves over a game, leading me and others to believe that people are the ones that are fucked up, not the game.
I've done quite a bit of research on the topic myself, you are welcome to read my paper on it if I can ever find it.

are you suggesting that they wont be? or were you jsut saying the info was in the link? at 4 am when the link didnt directly bring up the article i said never mind.
from the article
This is now the second time within the last 4 months that Chris has been exposed to verbal and physical harm by people associated with PC Gaming. While the severity of the first case does not reach the depth of this most recent situation, adults with supposed control of their acts conducted both.
As a result of this most recent action CXG will take the following steps:
1. Players from both Clans/Teams who participated in this action will be band from participating within CXG related events
2. We will place information on our web site that will seek information and identify those who initiate such actions against anyone within the community and those players/teams will be band from any further relationship within CXG events and we will seek to expose their actions to all!
3. CXG will enforce a zero tolerance policy within all sanctioned events that will cause the immediate disqualification and removal of any player/team that initiates any form of verbal or physical threat to others participating within our event.
4. CXG will seek civil and criminal action against those who initiate actions viewed to be detrimental to the well being of others.
5. CXG will review all event related games to ensure the presence of intrigue, strategy, planning, and coordination of skills as part of their presentation, and free of gratuitous violence.
6. Although plans exist for a significant presence of security during the Las Vegas event, we will now increase the presentation at the event.
7. CXG will initiate a research project to identify the depth of violence related to the Gaming community and affiliated events. We want all actions reported openly so the problem can be resolved. We also want to ensure that people who incite such dangerous actions are banned from association within any community function
8. CXG will conduct a participant required 30 minute presentation during all events that will discuss our policies on violence. This will include presentations by those organizations engaged in community safety.

That's rather retarded.
It's not something people hear about.

Good PR, though, which this group probably desperately needs at the moment.
