The fantasy world of videogame street racing may have influenced two teenage boys accused of piloting real-life luxury cars in a high-speed contest that killed a taxi driver, police said Wednesday.
A copy of Need for Speed, a game that allows players to select custom cars and race them through crowded urban areas, was found on the front seat of one of the suspect’s cars following the late-night crash.
From Dungeons and Dragons to WoW, now this??!!?! don't even get me started on music lyrics!!!11.

Fuck Need for Speed....its a terrorist tool for instilling havoc in our streets. Ban the fucking program, so JuggerNaut wont feel the need to cry about those who use it as an excuse for youth violence. Fuck those folks too...

Shit man, it was on the front seat.
Clearly the game was buckled in and TOLD them to do it in this case.

Maybe they had that new setup where the cars controls are fed into a playstation with a monitor in front of the drive, except they forgot the car was on and the thing was in gear. Its silly, I know, but I can imagine worse...

video game manufacturers are obviously the closest thing to parents these kids ever had, so it's their responsibility to act responsibly and stop making marketable games.

Nope but I still chuckle at the fact that even in real life cabs always seem to spawn right in your way.

I played Carmageddon and watched Deathrace 2000(?), which influenced me to run over unsuspecting people for points to a game that doesn't exist.
Man, keeping track of points was hard while trying to drive...

IT WAS FOUND NI TEH FRONT SEAT! HE MUST HAVE BEEN READING THE MANUAL HOW TO DRIVE AND LOOKING FOR HIS NITRO BUTTON OR SOMETHING.
