I love how they say that there was evidence of alcohol at the scene, but go off at a tangent at video games, but fail to mention that alcohol might have been a factor. They also fail to mention the kind of upbringing these kids have had.

It’s so easy to lay the blame at someone else’s door.

Going on what these so-called news stories incite, I should have been a convicted serial killer by now.

Violence in games doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but even I [draw the line][2] at what I will play.

So I’m busy perusing the above article, and for some reason I feel that I have to view the page source.

First thing I notice is this META tag:
<META content=”MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400″ name=GENERATOR>

Interesting. Why would a \*nix site have a tag like that? It would appear to me as if the site was designed on a \*ptooie\* Microsoft platform.

Ok, I’m not really one to talk, since I use Windows every day, and I hate it more every day too.

Goddamnit. **[The Mission][2]** is at it again, and in plain view too! What’s the world coming to?

In case the article is no longer available “live”, I have printed it to [PDF][3].

This is obviously quite different to the previous layout, which is a good thing, I think. There are now far less things to confuse the issue. All you have to do is read, and comment (if you want). Maybe at some stage later on, I will add a downloads section, and possibly some other bits and pieces, as it takes my fancy. Another thing that I like about this particular engine, is that I don’t have to log in to the site to post entries: I can do it from my desktop, or even from my phone(!). You can still access the old website at http://www2.midnightreign.org/. I’ll leave that up for a while yet, but don’t expect it to be there forever.

There isn’t anything here to look at yet, but give me time. Since it’s much easier to post entries to this site, I’m hoping to update much more often than I did the old site. I know, I’m a lazy bastard, and I neglected the old site. Hopefully it won’t happen to this one.
