At the end of the day the guy murdered someone for something that didn't exsist in the real world,something else for the ban this, that and everything else they don't like to get hold of and blame the sins of the world on computers.

Yeah I was going to post this yesterday, didn't get around to it.
Some people just take this stuff way too seriously...
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
Destroying the rest of your life over a game...... I think the worst I have ever done is throw my controller, and I haven't done that in years :blink:
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
and to think microsoft are wanting to make it mainstream to sell virtual items for real money :smilie4: :praysworriedmothersgrabthisstory:
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
He should be Hung. But I suppose you just have to live with the name you are born with.:unsure:
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
well that Zhu Caoyuan did take the (big time) piss by selling it
i wounder if the new weapon owner knows about the real blood shed caused just for his virtual weapon
and if Qui broke into Zhus house
why didnt he steal the PC and sell it for about £500?
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
I have a feeling the game itself is incidental to this man. He could just as easily have snapped over losing a promotion to someone else.. It was a feeling of injustice. Silly as it may be.
Many a murder has been committed after something not worth considering boils up into rage. Every day people stress themselves out over nothing. Look at how some people explode over being cut up on the road or seeing someone push in a queue.
@ boab.
-4 out of 10 for that one :pinch:
The story I was directed to from the link made no mention of the size of his penis, but I suspect if he was "hung" he probably would be more popular with the ladies and would have been spending time with them instead of playing video games :unsure:
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
if you lent somebody something like a camcorder IRL and they sold it for £500, then refused to give you any profit. can you see how pissed off this guy is then?
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
it just shows you, be careful who you lend your virtual sword to kids.
The thing I find most strange is not the rage / murder thing. As vidcc said people can lose the rag for reasons which seem out of all proportion.
However someone was willing to pay £500 for a virtual sword, which suggest to me a market for such "things". Is this common, has the world run mad, why was I not informed.
Re: Taking Gaming to Seriously
Seems to me they should have given him a virtual life sentence instead of a suspended death sentence....
