We should have a tasteful Twitch thon of every game mentioned in this thread with some thoughts and reflections sent in from some various Pimp Zoners about how gaming helped them cope with a post-9/11 world.

Seung-Hui Cho (/sʌŋ hiː tʃoʊ/; January 18, 1984 – April 16, 2007) was a South Korean mass murderer who killed 32 people and wounded 17 others on April 16, 2007, at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. I remember this day vividly because I was in college and was playing the fourth installment in The Elder Scrolls action fantasy video game series, following The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and preceding The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Oblivion! From the fantastic voice acting, the millions of choices, and the realistic A.I! It was like I was in a living breathing world for the first time ever in a video game. My character and I were one in the same, and I trained him to the best of my ability.


Around 7:15 a.m. EDT (11:15 UTC) on April 16, 2007, Cho killed two students, Emily J. Hilscher and Ryan C. "Stack" Clark, on the fourth floor of West Ambler Johnston Hall, a high-rise co-educational dormitory.[49] Investigators later determined that Cho's shoes matched a blood-stained print found in the hallway outside Hilscher's room. The shoes and bloody jeans were found in Cho's dormitory room where he had stashed them after the attack.

Within the next two and a half hours, Cho returned to his room to rearm himself; he mailed a package to NBC News that contained pictures, digital video files and documents. At approximately 9:45 a.m. EDT (13:45 UTC), he then crossed the campus to Norris Hall, a classroom building on the campus where, in a span of nine minutes, Cho shot dozens of people, killing 30 of them. As police breached the area of the building where Cho attacked the faculty and students, Cho committed suicide in Norris 211 with a gunshot to his temple. Cho's gunshot wound destroyed his face, obscuring identification of his body for several hours. The police identified Cho by matching the fingerprints on the guns used in the shootings with immigration records. Before the shootings, Cho's only known connection to Norris Hall was as a student in the sociology class, which met in a classroom on the second floor of the building. Although police had not stated positively at the time of the initial investigation that Cho was the perpetrator of the Norris Hall shootings and the earlier one at West Ambler Johnston Hall, forensic evidence confirmed that the same gun was used in both shooting incidents.

It is still unclear whether or not Cho had played Oblivion, either on a personal computer or the Xbox 360 platform.

I haven't played in 15 years but it was insanely fun in 1999-2001 as a teen and fighting a crocodile in the ocean and getting a magic weapon to fight wisps and ghouls and had tons of secrets. Agh my feels!

The only MMO I ever played was Dark Age of Camelot but I looked it up and it didn't come out until October 2001. Some good times and intense feels though.
