6. Does your son use Quake?

Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.

If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school.



This has been around for many years.

The wording is funny too.

6. Does your son "use" Quake?

Does your son "use" nicotine?
Does your son "use" caffeine?
Does your son "use" heroin?


I think we "play" Quake, yes ?


lol



I think this article was spawned from an incident in Brazil years back, when a Quake player with obvious mental health issues did some shooting.

As a result, Quake 2 is banned in that country.
Yeah right !! Video games make us insane killers !!

[Really]

Dont take this the wrong way but....I have to admit Ive wondered what it would be like to have a rail gun in real life. Maybe take some pop shots at random targets and see what would happen.....here are some examples:

1. Birds
2. Jehova's Witness
3. Ford Pinto
4. A McDonalds sign
5. A Starbucks
6. A cat : D
7. M1 Abrams Tank
8. A dedicated WoW player
9. Anyone over 16 playing Pokemon cards.
10. A Macintosh

Just a few off the top of my head ^^
