[QUOTE="eXodus, post: 15934, member: 417"] in my days as a gamer i have known two fellow gamers who killed themselves, but none who killed anyone else. one was a friend from my soccer team when i was 12. we played d&d together. one evening he ended up with some older kids and got drunk. when he got home his mother was quite irrate with him and called his father who was divorced from his mother. before his father could arrive, he shot himself with a .357. the local newspaper pointed out that the boy played d&d and that he listened to heavy metal music. they however never pointed on the fact that his father was an abusive alcoholic and that is mother was clinically depressed. the second person i knew who was a gamer and a victim of suicide was a friend of mine in high school. he and i gamed weekly for over two years. following high school after heading off to college he died of hanging. his family wanted to believe it was his d&d. they did not want to believe that their son was gay and unable to deal with it. that is why my friend killed himself. it has been a long time since i have thought of these two....
