Saw that report on El Reg earlier today. To say it was slightly odd would be an understatement Hope those two don't play and Sims type games

It said Qiu reported the loss of the "Dragon Saber" to police but they said it wasn't real property protected by the law.

Prosecutors said Zhu promised to hand over the 7,200 yen that he received but Qiu grew impatient and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest.
You have to wonder what he stabbed him with

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be offensive Just that as much as I find online gaming an entire bore, it wasn't really necessary to inform me that that kind of behaviour is not the norm...

I've felt like hunting down and killing TKers before, but never something like this... Crazy stuff. MMORPGs make you mental, it's official.

Heard a couple of stories about cs..in america after a dispute in a lan game they went outside and shot eachother, aswell as another where somebody in Korea died at their computer, frothing at the mouth after playing for 3 days straight in a lan cafe - how can they let that happen!

Just like to say, ob you aren't very acceptive of other peoples desires, i mean, nobody can define how you should live your life...each and to their own.

Typical that. But never let a good story get in the way of sensational journalism.

I'm not defining how people should live their lives...just expressing my opinion that those who spend more than one or two hours a day playing online games need to get out more. I don't think it's healthy.
