The news didn't mention that he played WoW. I'm kinda glad they didn't; it would be misdirecting people's attention away from the real problem (his fringe right-wing political views) and making a scapegoat out of gaming. I can totally see more than a few pundits doing that too (most of them on Fox).

NPR very briefly reported the news about the bombing in Oslo during the Diane Rehms Show, which was how I first heard about it (I got off work very early that day). After that, I didn't really listen to the radio or watch TV (I was trying to stay cool), but I read about the shooting on my Twitter feed. My friends in Norway (Beate - a native - and Jon, who's visiting) called on Skype and I asked them what was going on. They didn't know much, but they knew a little more than what the news agencies were reporting.

(lesson from all of this: The Internet is amazing)
