When someone dies in the game, it releases a stream of blood across the wall, a physical manifestation of nebulous kills in the words of artist Riley Harmon. According to Harmon, most of us kill a lot of people in digital worlds, and don't think much about the consequences of death. Harmon addresses that topic with What it is without the hand that wields it, a sculpture on display at the University of Oklahoma School of Art until April 4th. Players who would like to participate in the exhibit can do so by using the command connect 129.15.76.103:27015 in CS. news Apr 4, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-121963.aspx Buddhist monks.

That is the title of a news posting over at the LaRouche Political Action Committee website, home of the supporters of American political nutcase Lyndon LaRouche. Taking their lead from the New York Post's sensationalist article COLLEGE KILLER CRAZY FOR VIOLENT VID GAME, the LaRouche Camp is apparently blaming Microsoft's Counterstrike killer video-game for the shooting. Never mind that Microsoft doesn't make Counter-Strike - that's probably all part of the conspiracy as well. The intended effect, to foster an environment of mass suicide terrorism in the U.S.A., is a by-product of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' policy, organized by Felix Rohatyn and George P.
