It’s just a game,” Osborne said, while his neighbour fought with a friend who was visiting and some other players over his headset. “He said, [b]‘It’s not just a game, it’s my life.’”[/b] That’s when the man grabbed his throat, punched him in the face and stabbed him in the chest, Osborne said. “Like they say, it takes over your life, man.” Justin Williams, 21, is charged him with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, police said. Williams was scheduled to appear in court Thursday. Peterborough is about 125 km northeast of Toronto.[/QUOTE] [url]http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/WeirdNews/2012/07/12/19979551.html[/url]
WoW is serious business
Reminds me of the time a Counter-Strike player spent years tracking down and attempting to murder a guy who knifed him in the game.
How long before more medias ala foxnews generalize this (yet again) for the any players of any games?
Probably in the next few moments Bragdras.
yea he mad
So he tried to calm him down and got stabbed? Like, he wasn't even involved in the argument itself? Wow, you fucking douche.
Needs to stack more resilience.
wow. GET IT LOL
Common sense tells us that this was a single unstable person. Fox News tells us that every gamer has killed all small animals nearby and are working their way up. Onion News would tell us the same thing, but as an exaggerated joke.
That's not how you do kidney shot, bloody scrubs.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;36779421]link?[/QUOTE] They have a whole section on wikipedia for people that have either died or were injured because of video game related incidents.
There was this murder in S. Korea once over some sword in an MMORPG. :v: But really now, did someone steal somebody else's epic trinket?

[QUOTE=Kendra;36779507]There was this murder in S. Korea once over some sword in an MMORPG. :v: But really now, did someone steal somebody else's epic trinket?[/QUOTE] Yeah, dude A lent dude B this really good and really expensive sword and dude B sold it.
That dude needs more damage mitigation. He'd make a terrible tank. On a serious note: What the fuck?

I'm glad Jack Thompson is disbarred. He would bitch about it endlessly.
Justin Williams wait I know a guy named that he plays wow too he hasn't been online for a couple days oh god he lived in peterborough too oh man
At least if he died his friend could have got some rare items
[QUOTE=SatansSin;36781967]Justin Williams wait I know a guy named that he plays wow too he hasn't been online for a couple days oh god he lived in peterborough too oh man[/QUOTE]I personally would have edited those last parts in, makes the whole story seem more believable.
1st of all, I hate how conservative soccer moms will, yet again, say all gamers are crazy physcopaths and games must be banned or some shit. They need to stop acting like they know all about something when in reality they know nothing about it (but then the Republican party may have to quit politics forever) 2nd, do people still play WoW? I mean, has it really lasted that long?
I'm interested to know what exactly the argument was about.
[QUOTE=Hans-Gunther 3.;36778724]Reminds me of the time a Counter-Strike player spent years tracking down and attempting to murder a guy who knifed him in the game.[/QUOTE] Reminds the time a guy in a cyber cafe in Korea killed the other guy next to him with a knife over a Counter Strike game.
