Some of you may have been fans of GameLife and would certainly recognize who Andrew Rosenblum is. If you're familiar with Rosenblum and the show, then this news may come as somewhat of a shock. According to Boston police reports, the GameLife host was picked up as a result of "an e-mail threatening to kill an ex-girlfriend and recreate the Virginia Tech bloodshed at her school."
Rosenblum allegedly wrote these words to the 19-year-old female target:
“(I)’m gonna (expletive) bring a gun to your school and kill you and K (another female student) and everybody you love. It’s gonna be VT all over again,” 20-year-old Andrew Rosenblum allegedly wrote in an e-mail to the victim just hours after 32 people were gunned at Virginia Tech.
“Seriously I’m just that demented,” Rosenblum wrote, according to a BPD report. He ended the message with a threat to commit homicide and suicide: “killing people can change people’s lives forever. (T)he best is in the end when I pull the trigger on myself, too."
Allegedly, the girl had gone out with Rosenblum on three separate occasions and once that had ended the harassment began. From the Boston Herald:
The 19-year-old woman told cops she went on three dates with Rosenblum at the beginning of the school year, but had broken up with him. Rosenblum then allegedly harassed her, she said, according to the police report.
The victim began receiving the disturbing instant e-mail messages just before midnight Monday - the day of the Virginia Tech massacre - which she saved and printed, according to the report.
Bad timing, bad taste, and poor judgement all around, Andrew.

If this is true, dude is clearly and obviously fucked up. He also isn't doing us any favours since he has close ties with gaming. Could all the crazies please stop gaming? It'll only make things worse and ruin the fun for the rest of us.
I'd blame this on women before I blamed it on video games.
but turns out he is obsessed and fucked up....
arrest him and check him into some head clinic
It is both funny and wrong that this article is filed under 'Pew pew pew!'
This is an unacceptable portrayal of gamers in general...
I need a drink, who's fucking buying?
They can take my Wii, though.
the videogames i hate the fucking media not gaming media the media like fox cnn unvision cbs abc
Bazing!
Not to mention the fact that he's clearly fucked in the head and a danger to the people around him
No, nothing yet. It sucks too. We need to speak out.
how do you get so low you start sending wacked out
insane love/hate messages, making calls while masturbating,
calling hanging up.
and to bring up the Virginia tech tragedy and threaten
to reenact it to sound "cool" or "tough" is more proof
of what a lowlife he is.
how old is he 10??
LOSER !!!!
he just kicked ALL MALE GAMERS in the nuts.
he shouldnt work in the videogame field again.
just saw his myspace page!!
HE LOOKS FUCKEN CRAZY!
Since when is someone who talk/write about gaming – even if it is for a living – part of the gaming industry? Yeah he played games but anyone who have seen a episode of that show can tell those wires in his head are not properly connected.
Did they find any games at Cho Seung-Hui’s place? we all know he was into school plays, Jack Thompson should look into that a bit more deeply.
The fact that MTV took it seriously enough to profile it is enough to count, in my book.
Stop emailing me, stop calling me, go fuck yourself.
