Fox News: alleged serial killer has "an affinity" for "death-laden" Dark Souls

Slightly off topic because it's more about the video than the Dark Souls bit, but the same guy who questions the validity of her claims says "The people in Alaska say 'listen, she lived in North Pole, that's right North Pole, Alaska up until the time she was five.' They don't have that many missing people in North Pole, Alaska."
Am I missing something with this story?

He's saying there is a discrepancy between the number of people she claims to have killed in that town, and the number of people from that town that are actually reported missing.
It made me want to get other people and get them to kill for me. Some witchcraft may have been involved.

But she says she started murdering people six years ago. How the flying FUCK have they managed to work Dark Souls into the narrative? What are they trying to suggest? She would have stopped sooner if it wasn't for Dark Souls?
When she was 5?
"from 22 to 100 people"
Source: my ass
Why didn't he just say "allegedly over 22 people" like anyone with any sort of credibility would? He has no idea of the upper limit.

Either you're misquoting or he misspoke. Pretty sure he meant 'has lived there since she was 5'.
Have we considered the possibility she's a time traveler?

I always hate how issues of mental health and therapy get brushed of by major news in exchange for BS like this
A dastardly trend that has, through gratuitous depictions of graphic violence, desensitized our youth to the responsibilities of their age and created a generation of shiftless juvenile delinquents.
omg this must be the funniest book of all time!
(putting aside the fact that kids' parents bought this, believed it, and prob had their kids committed)

At this point, I don't even care when I see stories like this. In the 90's when the idea of gaming as mainstream was still relatively new, there was something worth fighting for. But we've won, we now live in a world where our future old people will be playing video games. The genie isn't going to be put back into the bottle, nobody is going to come along and censor our games.

As I always say
There is a link between violent games making people violent.
There is NO link what so ever with violent people been attracted to violent games.. none, none what so ever, EVER!

I don't remember that guy's name, but I've heard him spew enough to nonsense crap to know it's best to completely ignore him. He's an absolute nutcase.
Yes, even by Fox News standards.
Hahaha, guter Witz :/
and by 'other games' they probably mean human beings....
quick! someone get Sean Hanity on this, STAT!

I never understand why a bunch of external forces are blamed while people try and unravel the mystery of a Serial Killer. They are just mentally unstable people and them liking something isn't some proof that said thing is inherently bad. If a large percentage of Dark Souls user base all of the sudden starts killing people, then we have a story Fox News. What we have here is a handful of people out of the total amount of people who bought/stole this game have also killed someone. That is not news, that's reaching.

I was reading about this story earlier today (not the Fox News thing but the main story) and I have to say it's just unbelievable. A 19-year old girl goes on a multi-state rampage killing almost 2 dozen people (that we know of) off Craigslist. That's a sentence you never think you'd read but it's true.

I'm pretty sure she herself said she'd killed less than 100. That's where he got that upper limit from. http://www.tmz.com/2014/02/18/craigslist-killer-miranda-barbour-serial-murder-no-evidence-fbi/
Can you sue them for that or something?
All the bad news on the TV, including Fox News desensitized people and in the end made them become murderers.

They're desperately trying to make something complex and difficult simple out of shear laziness. It's too easy for them to say that the mentally insane, instead of people who probably have insanely deep histories of psychologically damaging or molding events; they instead are just people who have been pushed over the edge or been influenced so wholly by a few inanimate objects. They would suddenly be a rational, right thinking human being if not for that one trigger that they consume that separates themselves from us normals. Forget actually asking the relevant and important questions about mental state, pharmaceuticals, mental illnesses. Just tell me they played video games I've never heard of and we've got a real story because that's what really turns people to killers. It's something I can easily identify and remove from the lives of my loved ones and not have to worry about any mental breakdowns from then on.

I'm not buying it, if she was inspired by Dark Souls she wouldn't have gotten much further than the first few tutorial murders.
Thank you for the correction. Honestly that was the only thing that bothered me about the interview. If she thought it was pertinent or the investigators to mention "dark soul" then I don't see why we should fault him for bringing it up.
