Our strange Asian counterpart spotted a story of a hardcore gamer gone wrong ... and dumb. Apparently a university student was having trouble with his arcade habit RL-fragged both a man and his dear old mum. Luckily he was apprehended after attempting to withdraw funds from the dead guy's account. Score one for Captain Obvious!
A university student under arrest for trying to withdraw money from the account of a man found dead last month, along with his mother, has admitted to their murder and robbery, police said.
I spent the money at video game arcades. I murdered them so I could steal some money,” the suspect, 21-year-old Hiroshi Shimura, was quoted as telling investigators.
Local police are grilling Shimura, a third-year student at Nihon University, over his motive for murdering Shinichiro Nomoto, 61, and his 86-year-old mother, Tomie, at their home in Suginami-ku, Tokyo.
It just goes to show: you can practice killing with arcade shooters and get away with it, but if you're missing RPGs at home you're going to miss some valuable life skills when you grow up to be a villian.

I would probably let her live, though.
And 2point4, you're subtracting the wrong person's age. She was 25.
Well that's just less entertaining overall. I liked it better when I misunderstood the story.
[b]Gotta play! Gotta find money!! Who's got money?! That weak old bag over there probably has a son that lives at home!!! I'll kill her and him and take their money!!! MWAAHAHAHA!!!
Then, I can rule the arcade world!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!! Or until that money runs out.[/b]
See, when I think about it like that, it does make sense.:rolleyes:
