Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The Mexican gaming community ain't one to be f**ked with. This latest tale is a prime example of just that. Question for you World of Warcraft players: Have you ever wanted to beat the living crap out of an annoying griefer? Don't you wish that one day you could just take a baseball bat to the face of that fat slob who has nothing better to do than take his level 60 character and piss all over your up-and-comer? Well, it may be time to watch how far you take things:

Mexico City, Mexico-(MH)-Mexican World of Warcraft player Bronco Carson reported to local police on Saturday that 3 men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and smashed his computer. It was supposedly in retaliation for Carson stalking and repeatedly killing one of the attackers wife’s character during computer video game play.

Carson admitted to police that he had been “making it hard for her to get far in the game.” He said that after repeated online threats from the woman, she sent her husband and friends over to his house to “take care of him.”

We need more of this, seriously. I only wish I could have been there to watch the beating. It must have been glorious. 

[Thanks, Wheat]

If only people starting doing this to the racist/sexist/homophobic 12 year olds that play Halo, the world would be a better place. My world would be better, at least.

Reminds me of the ending of Jay and Silent Bob strike back when they kick the shit out of all the people that bad mouthed them.

To be fair though, he was only griefing because he was angry that he couldn't work his stolen iPod.

I point out the stupidity:

1)the beatee must of supplied his address to the beater cuz how did they find him?

2)the beatee was just a jackass to begin with

3)in Mexico they beat people over getting rolled over by the Gank Bus

These things alone prove how pointless anything in Mexico is.

God honest, you guys would probably do it too. Some fat bastard is cheating, running his mouth, and or generaly ruining your and everyone elses fun simply for his own, and knows (thinks) you can't do a thing about it?
You would be a flat out liar by saying you wouldn't do SOMTHING to the said person if you thought you could get away with it.

With a name like Bronco Carson, you'd think he'd be the one doing the beating.

No, you're shitting me, Bronco Carson? What, he start playing WoW in the downtime while being a cookie for a cattle drive? Does his covered wagon have a WiFi hookup?

We do and we also have weapons of mass destruction.


"Carson later said that he had made the mistake of telling her where he lived and “if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this.”"
I think he had it coming for being stupid.

"Bullies on the interweb are serious concerns Billy, you need to let a grown up know when some douche is blocking your path from the inn or not allowing you to play by team spawn killing your ass. So either level up on a separate server, or daddy has some ass kicking and club beating to do and you don't want to see daddy angry now, do ya Billy?"

It showed that her husband wasnt man enough and had to bring friends. So who cares, the victim probably benefited from it more in the end selling his story to the press.

Man, I wish I was invited to the beatings.

I'm sure a few of us wouldn't mind paying a pretty penny to see something like that happen.

No, this is bull crap. It's a video game. If someone is "stalking" you in a game and just making the game hard for you, tough eefin' luck. Get over it, chump.

@Hipple, freedom of speech. And the only way this world could get better is if hippies and feel-good losers all kicked over.

The pacifist in me abhors this unnecessary violence. The gamer in me however supersedes that bitch. Kicking the shit out of griefer's ftw. If nothing else, the guy deserved it for being fucking retarded enough to give out his actual address.

It should be more like, attention gamers don't grief and send you're address to the people you have pissed off, especially if they are Mexican.

Good for them. I was playing UNO...UNO!!!! on xbox live and these two asshats with cameras were drawing shit on their feet, putting them up to the camera and calling everyone fags and n words. I would have loved to go over to their house, put them in a camel clutch, fuck their ass, and make them humble...old country way.
