In my mind, I'm replacing "Modern Warfare 3" in the story with "Skyrim" and replacing "unknown expletive" with "dragon shout".
It makes the story even more hilarious.

You would never see us BF3 fans do this, we have class.
In all seriousness, though, realty? You could have just paid $60 and be playing it right now, but noooo. Now you have at least one charge of attempted robbery, which I'm sure will cost way more.
Wow, didn't realize I was this guy's mother.

The lines and horrible people I had to endure to get MGS in HD was fucking ridiculous. And in the end I had to go to Best Buy anyways and endure MORE lines because EB only had preordered copies for MGS. Fucking shit balls.
The guy fighting a man with a gun over a video game sounds pretty stupid too. Idiots all around here.
@Ramminchuck
Yeah, I was going to pick up MGS HD yesterday after work. I didn't even walk inside Gamestop. I looked through the glass and saw a line wrapped around the inside, and walked back to my car disappointed.
I shall try again today.

I don't know what's worse...a guy trying to rob someone for MW3...or a guy wrestling a guy with a gun so he wouldn't have to give up MW3...
@Konnery
Men who don't fight for what they own are not real men, just saying.
I mean, I would cave if I had no option and give it, but this guy managed to have one.

Who's stupider? The guy willing to risk going to prison for a copy of MW3, or the guy willing to risk his life to keep his copy of MW3?
@Konnery
It's not just about the game, it's the principle. He didn't want to just let someone take what was his. He fought to keep what was rightfully his. What if it was a something like a car or even a friend/family member?

I can't even begin to comprehend this guy. Also I can't imagine not just giving him the game if he has a gun, risking your life for $60? It's not like you couldn't get another copy.
Dare I say CoD attracts and caters to this inferior quality of human being. You don't really see this type of occurrence, and certainly not this frequently, with any other game. Maybe less like the one ring, and more like meth amphetamines? This caliber of individual would not find value in the one ring, like a reasonably educated person, because obviously drugs are far better. Obviously.
@Apo
You seriously just compared MW3...something worth 60 dollars...to a human being. I seriously underestimated how seriously people take video games. You can't even remotely compare risking your life to save a family member/friend/human being to something you can monetize IE: Car/game, both of which are replaceable and not worth risking your life over.
Really...

A romantic idea, but it's a fucking video game. It's not a valuable or personal affect. If a piece of plastic is worth your life, you need to sort out your priorities. It's not as though he's defending something important.

Haha, that's the lamest excuse. "Men who don't fight for what they own"
BRB, gonna go beat my friend's ass for eating my leftover quesadilla. We aren't some cro-magnon culture. It's 60 freaking dollars.

Guys, maybe the guy who was attacked had some sort of training on how to react in these situations. Or the attacker might have gotten distracted or whatever.
I'm not saying it's wise to risk your life for a video-game (and it was a really high risk), but maybe the victim knew what he was doing.
Just sayin'

What a gobshite the would-be their is. It's just a fucking game. Still, if a guy pulled a gun on me I'd probably pass him my wallet and whatever I had on me. Something like that isn't worth my life.
Oh my god, people are commenting on the Kansas City Star article, saying they think it's just advertising.
I just... I give up on the future of humanity.

While it's a possibility, nobody knows. The guy could have been a hardened special operation killing machine, but chances are you know those kind of people when you look at them. Unless the "robber" was just THAT stupid, I doubt he would have attempted to jack the game from a guy like that.

From the Kansas City Sun article:
Freeman said he didn’t really plan on fighting either. His instincts just kicked in, he said.
“I don’t remember thinking anything,” he told reporters at the prosecutors’ press conference this afternoon. “He was there and he presented a threat. It was self-defense, I guess.”
The real-life fight was “much more intense, much more scary,” than the action in the “Call of Duty” video game series, Freeman said.
And it’s not something he wants to go through again.
“If I had more time to think about it, I probably would have just given him the game,” he said. “It’s a wonderful game, but it’s not worth dying over.”

@mrplow8 I would hardly call it risking his life as he knew his opponent was a cod player so he could have know that the chance of him hitting anything was quite low.
I'm completely shocked that you would rob someone...over a video game.Since when did humanity get that dumb? And the fact that the guy who bought it tried to stop him from taking it....
That picture explains why he couldn't just go and pick up the game for $60 - underage. And we all know that underage people who play games like Modern Warfare wind up trying to shoot somebody!
@Abnegation
See, that makes sense, but maybe I'm a little more liberal when it comes to high-intensity situations like that.

As I read this headline and article, I was thinking "how the hell do you rob a game?" Wouldn't he be stealing the game, and robbing the guy? I know I'm taking this too literally, but I can't figure out if that's correct to say or not.
On topic: the guy's an idiot and it's unfortunately that he made a huge mistake.

I dont think some people are getting the point. It's not just the fact that it's 'just $60'.
It's probably the fact he earned that $60 working his ass off and some snot nose punk who probably doesnt even work for a living decided he had more right to this guys money than he did.
The robber is lucky himself that the victim just phoned the police, if it were me who was robbed I would have shot the fucker in the leg and kicked his teeth down his throat.
No, unemployed lazy ass trash has the right to take what I work hard for, it's not just monetary, the fact is that life is short and half of that life is spent either sleeping or working or getting education.
If I wasted weeks of my lifeclock just to be robbed I'd have every right to be offended.

@Soulman
Weeks...for 60 dollars...where do you work? o.O
But really, I'd rather have wasted "weeks" of effort, than my own damn life. Then again, I actually have more to live for than a video-game.

We can find out if it's jimmyx. Just ask him if he thinks all COD games are 360 exclusives. If he says yes, then its jimmyx.
