There's a trend that's been around recently, called "Synchromysticism". The study of serendipitous events and whether or not such things are a sort of "language of the universe", or "Language of G-d". Been around since at least 2005, probably more likely since Pythagoras and long before even him.
Few things:
1) I am VERY VERY sorry to hear that anyone in our reality suffered at the hands of a fellow who'd snapped. This is MOST CERTAINLY NOT to minimize, nor make light or anyone's pain over the issue.
2) In the light of Synchromystical events, it is exactly the sort of thin the media puts shame on people for believing in. This "Anders" connection *is* strangely uncanny, but only to anyone who has ever picked up a game of Dragon Age Awakenings (curiously named, no?) and beyond. Anyone else find it interesting that the often-referred-to-as "Luciferian eye" is a Bioware "Logo"? (Sybol of Logic?) I am not convinced of what it means but I can safely say that in this day and age, where ever one sees "The EYE" or a lone single solitary eye resting atop some structure, (Even in a Tolkein Novel), one tends to see controversy. Wherever there tends to be controversy, there tends to be a huge struggle between camps of thought trying to sort truth from lies. Good from Evil, Light from Dark.
3) I am convinced that dragon age IS, in fact, a "Haunted" game. Haunted in the sense that there are so many reverberations and human parallels of strange events as to make it literally a composite of opposing thoughts; a masterpieces of literature that will probably be remembered for generations, or, for at least as long as people maintain an interest in electronic media. Not haunted as in possessed by spirits/daimons/fade entities or what have you, but definitely haunted by some of histories more haunting themes. THen again, for all its odd mentions of fade spirits, perhaps Bohm's Plasmatronic life forms have taken notice of it, and lent their own stinit on things. Just remember that Muslims and Hebes (Qunari and Elves, in this eye?) tend to look at the spirit world as fraught with any number of "good" spirits, as well as bad ones, when dealing with them, and that all the Abrahamic religions tend to look at dealings with the Djinn/Daimons/Fae what have you as frowned upon by G-d. Can't speak for G-d in that regard, myself, but definitely some food for thought.
4) There is every chance I am clinically and legally insane, although I'm quite at peace with this notion, since I have no seething desire to do harm unto another, nor can I even begin to imagine myself picking up a gun and bleeding a single human being, let along a mass of them. The world, the galaxy, the universe, the multiverses, the OMNIVERSE, is all so much larger that us, and yet, at the same time, so painstakingly linked with us that we often miss an obvious point in doling out blame: "WE ALL SHARE THE LIFE EXPERIENCE!!!"
5) The guy in the Dwarven Tapster's Tavern keeps coming to my mind, the screaming lunatic who "Won't die chasing a lie" as well as Gaxxkang. I do not believe this is coincidental so much as serendipitous. The question becomes: Important to whom?
6) That someone other than myself had noticed the uncanny similarities in the picture as well as the theme lends credence to the notion {for me, at least} that there is absolutely no such thing as an original thought.
I've rambled enough about this, and probably offended more than a few sensibilities. Anyone choosing to take offense to what I have said has opted either not to read the whole thing, or else is just given to a penchant for being upset. I take no responsibility for anyone's over reaction to my musings.
