Some doof mentioned the killer played final fantasy online and he thought "surely that is where only people stab others repeatedly and in psychotic fashion! Never before has this happened before the game industry did so!"

To be fair, its a tabloid. Tabloids aren't known for the truth. One picture of any of us and they'd spin a tale about how we were leaving our husbands and taking the baby with us.
