A young Halo 3 fan has been accused of punching his mother after she forced him to stop playing. The boy was engrossed in Bungie's latest epic when he was told to end the session as it was getting late. When he refused, the youngster's mother removed the 'air card' from the Xbox 360 (nobody knows what that is) and was met with violent resistance.
The Indian River County native then stormed through the house in a bid to find the hidden card, punching his mother in the process. When his search ended in success, the Master Chief lover locked himself in his room and continued the struggle against The Covenant, despite the fact that cops had been called.
As the mother and police started to bang on the barricade, the brigand hurled insults their way until cops eventually got to him, cuffed him and took him in. We do not know if he managed to find all the golden skulls before capture.
As the gamer faces charges of domestic battery and battery on a law enforcement officer, I sit and wonder at what this will do for the industry's reputation. At least we can't say he's not truly hardcore.

Honestly, I hope his mom presses charges. The little shit needs to know there are consequences for every action.
If I had done what this kid did, my mom AND my dad would've beaten me stupid. If I had done this on a Friday, I'd wake up on Monday morning and only feel pain and a vague sense of fear, knowing full well that my console was gone and knowing they took it, but not really knowing why, and knowing better than to ask for the bloody thing back.
@zelot9802: I hope you're joking. I really, really do.
Thi kid is...wow, either the most hardcore gamer ever, or really....realy...REALLY stubborn...
BTW, he doesnt get a cookie.
Curse you Britains and your beleagured governmental parenting skills!
Bad show, old bean!
Imagine the other million who hit their mom's and doens't hit the newspapers.
btw, halo is so not worth hitting your mom for, if it was smash, that would be another story :D
