I'm happy that finally the news can have a story related to a video game without blaming it on the usual video game violence crap :D

It costs over $90 dollars to travel that far, that STUPID idiot! Stay in prison, Lucas, you WoWTARD. Gargantuan Peto-FAIL.

-.- When you thought 'pathetic' was brought to one level with 911 callers about food, someone sets a new record.

Ninety bucks??? That's six months of WoW, even if you just buy the 60-day cards!!

Kind of gives a new meaning to the word "loser"...

Unfortunately, not all of the losers know the boundries of humanity:
Chinese gamer sentenced to life for murdering fellow gamer over stolen virtual property.

Quote:
South Korea has a section of its police force that investigates in-game crime.

Could you imagine the law taking action against you for the acts you perform in GTA? Speeding, no insurance, murder, no weapon permit, grand-theft-auto, murder, drugs trafficking. There's a though for you all there.

I quoted as I just couldn't ignore it

Because I wasn't sure how to start a new thread other than to go to another thread and click on the start a new...(what does it say, topic? thread? I forget) button. As soon as I realized it went in the dating area I sent a comment to the mods asking for it to be moved, but apparently nobody did that for me. :oops: Sorry. Maybe somebody will take care of that if I ask again.

Reminds me of the incident where a Japanese woman deleted her MapleStory husband's character. That, IMO, is much more lame, but this is still funny lol. I believe she is doing jail :lol: .

At least no one died of a heart attack after playing for 50 hours straight.
