Man spends 6 months tracking down person who killed him in counter strike
27 replies, posted
After his Counter-Strike character died in a knife fight, 20-year-old Julien Barreaux spent six months tracking down the virtual killer. Then he grabbed a real kitchen knife and paid the man a visit.
Thankfully the Frenchman's knife skills are almost as bad in real life as they are in Counter-Strike and he missed his victim's heart by an inch. He was arrested "within the hour and told [police that] he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character."
Judge Alexiane Potel best summed up the entire situation with these words to Barreaux at the trial that followed:
You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street.
Barreaux was sentenced to two years in jail and anger management therapy.

Couldn't have said it any better.
Humiliation!
you think he would have gotten there faster while running with a knife.
Dumbass doesn't know you have to right-click stab TWICE to kill.
It's weird that they call the player "Character". This ain't WoW.
I once cyberstalked a guy who tk'd me in some dumb source mod.
If I tracked down every person that killed me in an online game, I'd be a busy busy man.

They still say you kill other people for "points" and things like that.
Great another nutjob to put gamers in the public eye as murders in training
I'm bad at knifing too, but it's a good thing I realize THAT MY VIRTUAL CHARACTER RESPAWNS.

human stupidity strikes again
He should've right clicked.
Oh wait, he's French? Should've gone for the backstab then.
This is why we have killcams in Counter-Strike now.
I searched his name on Google.
