Teenager torches warehouse because he's rubbish at games
Some of us are content to throw our controllers or fling the disc across the room, but one Korean teen has dealt with his gaming frustration a little more .. . And by that I mean he burned a warehouse down. As is the done thing. The 15-year-old lad had just experienced a frustrating bout of gaming at his local Internet café on Saturday evening, prompting him to respond by torching a warehouse situated atop a four-story building. He told police later that it was because "his videogame session did not go very well." It is believe that over four million Korean won of damage was done. And that is what happens when we let teenagers play as the Pyro in Team Fortress 2. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

why do criminals keep using gaming as an excuse for their crimes? its an outrage! 4 mil won is only like... 4000 USD of damage or something, still quite a sizable amount for one little punk kid who got pissed because his zerg rush failed. (He was playing starcraft right?) "I came back from the internet cafe. As I returned, I had one vision. The warehouse set ablaze. And do you know what I saw there? Fury! A great and terrible Fury at being owned at Starcraft." Here i thought is was just a bad stereotype that Koreans take Starcraft and WoW too seriously. Ah well. Why doesn't he just punch his leg like a normal person?
There's a joke about Korean barbecue here, I can't find it though. For the Holy Trinity's sake, why? I don't even throw controllers. I usually just flip them over onto the couch or bed and then just go do something else for a few hours or days.... This kid needs to calm down and regroup... Was it a warehouse that stored games? that at least makes a little more sense... or is relevant, at least. Hmm, that seems like an awful lot of effort to get revenge on not having a gaming session go well... "THERE! more proof Video games are nothing but poison to the youth of the world!" That's what I would be saying if I was Jack Thomsomn!
