Violent Video Games

Yes several video games have a violent theme to them, but that doesn't mean most people that play them will go Berserk upon the Innocent.

Its never a good idea to start treating the world as if its just a Shoot_'em_up video game. But some people want to resort to violence to create their version of reality.

Of course, when a car or any other tool or device is used in a careless way, the danger factor immensely increases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_(series)#Controversy
Responsible people don't treat real life as if its just a Shooter_game. However, some people with monstrous tendencies will eventually use anything to cause harm to others.

A 14-year-old girl who opened fire at deputies referred to Grand Theft Auto

"Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the children fired from multiple angles and the girl allegedly threatened to kill a sergeant.

The 12-year-old later told investigators that the 14-year-old had said, "I'm gonna roll this down like GTA," referring to the video game Grand Theft Auto, Chitwood said." https://abcnews.go.com/US/12-year-boy-14-year-girl-open-fire/story?id=78037996

Using Grand_Theft_Auto or any video game as an excuse to go out and shoot people is unjustifiable.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto#Controversies

In most cases it's not the games, it's people getting too violent on their own.

There is a lot of fascinating research that indicates this world could be part of some kind of a cosmic interactive recording and projection. However, if people use the analogy of the world as being someones video game just to shoot and kill people, they just might be missing the point of life.

The Basketball Diaries and the 9/11 intersection

By Jim_Carroll who died in 2009 on 9-11.

Just because a person was born on 9/11, that in of it self doesn't mean they are likely to ever become dangerous. Unfortunately, Dylan_Klebold had no general reference for the #911, as is the case with most people. Most people try to not give into causing violence just because various things bother them. So a guy that was born on 9-11 was drawn into a horrific school scenario with Eric_Harris.

The pattern (11:19) on the fringe of reality.

"Harris and Klebold kept journals, which were released to the public in 2006. In the journals, the pair would eventually document their arsenal and plan of attack.^[24]

Shortly after the court hearing for the van break-in, Harris reverted his website back to just hosting user-created levels of Doom. He began to write his thoughts down in a journal instead. In both of these journals, Harris and Klebold would later plot the attack. Soon after beginning his journal, Harris typed out one plan of attack which included after the massacre possibly escaping to a foreign country or hijacking an aircraft at Denver International Airport and crashing it into New York City."

Columbine killer envisioned crashing plane in NYC

"One of the two teen-age gunmen who killed 12 other students and a teacher before killing themselves in a 1999 attack on Columbine High School described their plan in detail in his journals, and said that if they could not get out of the country after the attack, they would hijack a plane and crash it into New York City..." http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/12/05/columbine.diary

How would these guys even get the idea of crashing a place into NYC? Fortunately, there weren't able to carry out that part of their plan. What is orchestrating various people to fit into some bizarre pattern?

Some people might attribute this to demonic_possession. A modern interpretation might be from the manipulation of a digital entity like in the 1995 movie, Virtuosity. What is called, the Simulation_hypothesis implies that this world is part of an interactive cosmic recording and projection of time and space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis#The_simulation_hypothesis_in_physics ,

In the 2009 movie, Gamer people are taken over in the form of cybernetic possession. However, that's still at the general earth level of reality and perception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamer_(2009_film)#Plot

Even in the movie, Ready_Player_One people can temporarily merge with a VR character, but you are still based in the contemporary earth reality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One_(film)#Plot

Various religions and belief systems and more recently, science have implications that this world is part of some kind of a running program.

One of the underlying themes of the Fringe_(TV_series) is its mythology of the pattern and the paranormal.

FRINGE features the Observers who seem to be a variation on the MIB theme.

Its difficult to understand why anyone would ever want to play a high-school shooting video-game?

However, for police and military tactical training videos and simulations, the tech could save lives.

At least by perceiving The Nature Of Reality (TNOR) through the synchronicity of numbers, names and events, curious people might be able to discover interesting & peculiar patterns on their own.
