And now we wait for the "games = violence" bandwagon to roll back into town.

No disrespect ment towards the victim and his family of course.

Did they drop any loot?

It's alright, he'll respawn in 60 seconds - sans weapons, of course.

Seeing that they keep on harassing the family, I think not.. or some low level stuff. :hmm:

I remeber when i first played SH3 mulitplayer i joined a German host game went in and while on the surface I commanded my deckgun crew to autofire at a british escort that was in front of us, (we were all on the surface at night heading to attack the port) turned out my crew thought firing at the nearest uboat was a better idea few seconds go by before i realise what Bernard had done! To late. Before i got kicked i got messages in german which i presume were not nice words and then kicked from the server :rotfl:

Word must of got around fast cause i was banned from all german hosts.

Back to topic, its a sad day when gamers start killing each other in real life!

Now I know why some SS members don't put City and Country under AVATAR.

That's a shame.

As an example when I talk to peeps from So Cal I at least like to see that.

Meeting other guys from SS from my area for a brew and talk SS BIZ could be a fun and safe thing for all involved and great with pics posted here.

Gonna see each other at SS Reunion soon enough.

Riverside and orange county are pretty big. (ive lived in, and annodated location on both) You can say that, and still be anywhere under the sun. Like looking for an needle in a stack of needles.

Theres always a point where you put too much info on the web. I draw that line with birthdates, first and last name, age, city, social security No, etc, etc.
