It also contains hallmarks of any person who uses the internet: copies of venerable film classics like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Final Fantasy VII, episodes of Tom and Jerry, an IMAX version of Mysteries of Egypt, a download of the Charlie Bit My Finger viral YouTube video, a Mr. Bean episode, and 28 crocheting tutorials—including one for an "iPod Sock."

They note that most of the frivolous stuff was probably for his family but the thought of Osama Bin Laden playing a JRPG about terrorists blowing up reactors for their own sense of justice is just too much for me. Was he on team Tifa or team Aeris? The only thing we do know is that in the eternal "Which FF is the best" internet arguments, FFVI and FFIX just got a whole lot more ammo.

 

[WadeitOut]

FFX confirmed better than FF7

 

[Spukc]

I bet he cried at the biggest spoiler of that game.

 

[Sniffynose]

I have a bad feeling Cloud cross dressing is what set him off and caused his descent into madness lol

 

[Willenium]

as it's listed after the descriptor "classic films," I can only assume that they mean Advent Children. And while we may have not agreed on a lot of things, Mr, bin Laden, I must say you had excellent taste.

This was when he was in hiding in Pakistan. So he was way gone by then.

Imagine if he was grinding when Seal Team Six came in...

 

[Sosokrates]

I bet he was a gaffer, lol.

 

[BigTnaples]

Crazy.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I wonder if he laughed and rubbed his hands when they blew the Midgar reactor up?

The movie is pretty terrible though.

Thread should also be moved to the OT section.

Best part was that he watched Loose Change (9/11trutger documentary).

 

[Molystem]

Don't think it's that special. It's easy to mentally dehumanise your enemies, but he was still a human being who probably had an interest in entertainment.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

That explains all those black helicopters hovering over my house.

 

[Fermbiz]

Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all...

 

[Sändersson]

I bet George Bush only plays FFXIII...

An article I read yesterday indicated BOTH were on the HDD, the game and the movie. There were also said to be many .sav files indicating that many of the games were actually played via emulator on the PC. Also there were many DS anime games on there, Naruto, Bleach, etc.

 

[Rellik]

Pretty sure that means the movie.

Hence the quote marks.

Here's a quote from another site. The game was on there.

However, among the films, TV shows, and video games found on Bin Laden's computer, was a copy of the Square-Enix JRPG Final Fantasy VII.

I don't know why, but the thought of this is making me laugh... I have no idea why and I am not sure if this is some deep down dark sense of humour... but it really has made me chuckle...

 

[Reorx]

was he the scriptwriter for FF X-2,5?

 

[demu]

I bet he was a gaffer, lol.

Probably a mod.

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

When did he have time for videogames?

 

[dawgparty]

First thought was him playing through the Tifa-Scarlet slapfight

 

[Nategc20]

Best part was that he watched Loose Change (9/11trutger documentary).

Why the fuck would he do this? Watch that?

Like my sense is that he wasn't behind it. He denied 9/11 until conveniently before the 2004 elections.

Like yea it's life and when you got jack shit to do and running away for war crimes there's movies, anime, and video games to occupy your time, but why risk torrenting and giving away positions and IP addresses for porn and anime? Idk somethings off.

Like sure if he didn't do it im sure he could've just kept saying he didn't do it over and over again until deaf ears could hear it but what if he had? I suppose diving into his email or PDFs on his PC would surely expose war plans and names right? Right?

 

[DarknessTear]

He also had Bible Black on his PC.

 

[Oemenia]

FFVII and Nomura fans rejoice, even bin laden thinks Sepiroth is the GOAT villian.

 

[mackattk]

According to the description in the OP, pretty sure it was the film, not the game.

 

[Sleepydays]

I bet he had an nWo tee in his dresser, too.

 

[wenaldy]

Bin Laden my man.

 

[Venuspower]

If this dude on Twitter is right he also had a GTA: Chinatown Wars ROM (but it was a bad ROM) and a GBA emulator on his PC.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

He had several kids living in his compound (some of which were probably his wives, yeah i know..low blow...who cares....get mad at the culture that promotes that not me)

so that's probably why that was there

 

[LakeEarth]

Best part was that he watched Loose Change (9/11trutger documentary).

Why would he watch that ... unless... IT'S ALL REAL! OH MY GOD WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

 

[luulubuu]

Not even 2 pages and this thread is already filled with shit.

Lol

 

[Art Vandilay]

When did he have time for videogames?

Dude was in hiding for years. So probably somewhere in that timeframe.

 

[horkrux]

Probably a mod.

Jesus

I shouldn't have, but I laughed
