I'm sure we've all been in a situation where the power has gone or the Internet's shut down right when we've been in the middle of a hot gaming session. What do you do in those situations? Throw the controller? Scream and rage? If you're one eighteen-year-old Starcraft fan, you grab a kitchen knife and stab the first 15-year-old girl who walks past your house. Sensible option.
A Swedish Starcraft gamer flew into a fit of rage when his Internet cut off while he was playing the RTS title, so he ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and then started attacking the young girl as she passed by his house. He stabbed her multiple times, but fortunately has survived the attack.
The nutjob has been charged with attempted homicide and has been sent off for psychiatric treatment. The world breathes a sigh of relief that he was playing Starcraft and not Demon's Souls, as things could have been far worse.

Glad the girl made it. I can't imagine how terrifying that must be to be a kid and have some random guy just run out if his house all pissed off and start stabbing you. Hot damn. That kid is a fuckin' asshole.
He survived? *sigh of relief*
glad the girl was okay though
don't CUT our power, first person we see. you will die EVERY time.
Poor girl :(
"[b]The computer game malfunctioned
- then, the boy wanted to kill[/b]
The game-obsessed 18-year-old suddenly couldn't get his internet connection to work.
His dark thoughts around how it would be to murder [yes it says this, what the fuck] drove him to suddenly grab a kitchen knife and go out into the residential area late in the Saturday evening.
Seconds later he had attempted to murder an unknown passing 15-year-old girl.
The 18-year-old is now being judged for attempted murder and forensic psychiatric care[?] by the Nacka court.
The 18-year-old was not well and his thoughts were made even darker when the internet connection was cut and he was unable to continue the war game "Starcraft".
It was never planned that a 15-year-old girl on her way home from a party would be his victim. She just happened to be nearby laughing loudly together with a friend.
Despite several knife stabs the girl managed to avoid life-threatening damage. The deed was reported to the police the day after by the 18-year-olds father who found a bent knife with bloodstains in the house.
Prosecutor Jennie Söderberg had prosecuted for attempted murder. The court however chose to label the deed as attempted manslaughter based on his psychological condition and there being no earlier intent to kill the 15-year-old girl."
So yeah! Love the headline and the use of "war game" rather than "strategy game" for spice.
I mean, she was walking by his house so clearly her magnetic field shut down his internet.
She deserved it!
Seriously though, poor girl.
That's messed up.
Suddenly a very valid reason enters the story.
"The deed was reported to the police the day after by the 18-year-olds father who found a bent knife with bloodstains in the house."
He would've gotten away with it if it weren't for his meddling dad.
Then what the fuck was going on with the girl all that time? And why didn't the dickhole clean the blade? And what about the girl who was with the girl? WTF JOURNALISM!?!
Oh, wait, actually it will be a waste for society as it will have to give out money on his accommodation and food from now on.
Oh, and, ZERG RUSH!!!
That was awful, I know. I feel sorry for the girl, it must suck to go from having a great time at a party with a friend to getting stabbed by a maniac StarCraft player who lost his Internet for a bit.
Most angry people wouldn't normally go father than yelling or damaging their mouse or keyboard in frustration.
ps:
anyone know where i can get a larger version of that starcraft art? i want to use it as a wallpaper
afterall we all know starcraft is a game about stabbing 15 year old girls, stealing cars, dealing drugs and gay marriage
VIDEO GAMES ARE TEH EVIL!!!!!!
