In UK, a teacher got stabbed by a Student. And the newspaper blamed? Games. Or at least "games like Dark Souls".

How can they blame games? I would think playing games would help the teacher sense danger and also improve the twitch-dodge reflex.

Your rep is 1234. Now that I mentioned it, it will change.

That's not funny. If you want people to think you're a awful person, good job.

in europe they find a way to blame all homicies on games rather than bad grades :P

I found it funny and not awful at all.

I mean HereForTheBeer's post not OP.

I can appreciate the seriousness of this, but really, blaming this on Dark Souls is like blaming drug abuse on Super Mario (Magic Mushrooms)

Its bloody stupid. I play GTA but I've never carjacked someone.

I once killed one of my math teachers (took her head off with my grandpa's machete) and blamed it on Gradius.

They bought it and I walked away scot-free.

Maybe he was trolling him during a raid ? That would be a good enough reason for me .

Also, the only way Dark Souls could be related to this is if the teacher was 30ft tall, and breathed fire. that and the student probably had to be doing backflips all over the place.

And you cant kill anything in Dark Souls with a knife.

PROTIP: Old Media is in what we call a Crisis of Relevance.

This means that with the utter obsolescence of newspaper, magazines, periodicals, and yes, even Television itself, publications are getting more desperate to struggle to get a 25p in their rack.

This means ethics, morals, and dare be it, Integrity go flying right out the door along with fact checking.

As such, anything said by these irrelevant sources should be taken with only as much salt as the Bonneville Salt Flats contain.

GOOD POINT! +1!

It was in The Mirror, wasn't it?

It's a shite newspaper for morons.

Elsewhere they're saying that the police are still interviewing the kid that did it, and haven't released any information yet. The Mirror's pulled it out of their arse. Of course he likes video games, he's a teenage boy.

I guess I need to work on my delivery.

Would it help if I used a Jerry Seinfeld voice? "Ever notice the way video games take the blame instead of shit parenting and underlying psycho-social problems?"

Hmm, still not funny. I'll keep working on it.
