First there was this CNN story about a teenager who killed a homeless man, supposedly because violent video games warped his fragile little mind.
Then there was Gabe from Penny Arcade, who wrote a response from the perspective of the defender of the video game world. Not a balanced one, but not intended to be, either.
And then, today, there's Gabe's follow-up: a lengthy e-mail from the would-be stepmother of the teenager in question. Which really kind of tells the whole story in a way that won't be showing up on CNN anytime soon.
It deserves some currency, so I'm passing it on.
