VA Tech Shooter Didn't Play Video Games

Here's a bittersweet situation: I was originally going to make this awesome, jawesome feature on what we know/what we don't know about the VA Tech Shootings in regard to the infamous Cho Seung Hui's video game habits.

Well, if one were to sift through the official search warrant, one would find something pretty surprising...to old people: Cho Seung Hui did not own video games! Whether the video games he did not own were violent or not is to be decided. For those of you who can't read the terrible handwriting provided on said warrant, here's a list of all the toys Hui did play with:

• Chain from top left closet shelf
• Folding knife & combination padlock
• Compaq computer from desktop
• Assorted documents, notepads, writings from desktop
• Combination lock
• Dremel tool and case
• Nine books, two notebooks, envelopes, from top shelf
• Assorted books & pads from lower shelf
• Compact discs from desktops
• Items from desktop & drawers: winchester multi tool, 3 notebooks, mail, checks, credit card
• Items from 2nd door: Kodak digital camera, Citibank statement
• Two cases of compact discs from dresser top
• Drive: Seagate: 80 Gb
• Six sheets of green computer paper
• Mirror with blue plastic housing
• Dremel tool box with receipt
• Dell Latitude service tag


It's worth mentioning the compact discs, which may contain (non)violent video games. "May" is used very lightly.
