I play online games. I know how much time they suck up when you really get hooked on a particular game. However, if someone sold in-game equipment that I’d lent them, I don’t think I’d end up killing someone over it like this guy.
That’s just taking things too far.

Yes, it is crazy. But I can remember lots of times when people in LAN parties have gotten involved in fistfights over who was camping and who stole kills and who was a team killer and so on.
What’s really scary is that people are actually discussing legislation over incidents like this.

It’s wierd, gaming can enrage the most docile of people when things don’t go their way. I know I’ve unleashed a furious string of expletives at the screen while gaming, whether it’s online or not.
I think the idea of being beaten by a machine is especially gaulling.

I’ve set up new forums now. They should be working again. Bloody hosts are rubbish. Who’d've thunk that they wouldn’t take my money, eh? Crazy.
