Not deserving a major headline or anything, but just a funny read, in a sense that a 46-year-old man with three children can't control his temper over being killed in a mere video game. (bit creepy at the same time also)

Some of those comments disgust me. The lighter ones say "I hope he's scarred for life" and "Too bad he didn't kill him". The worse ones I wouldn't repeat on here.

I'm glad the mother was there, but I'm curious if the man knew the boy in real life or how he got the address.

Mostly trolls. It's best if you ignore those comments.

...What else can you say but how disgusting this is? He's a grown man, he needs to get a goddamn grip on reality and not take out his anger on a child over something as futile as a video game.

he could have gotten the address by google searching his gamer name or something.

How the hell is this a "funny read"?

And I don't care if the comments are from "trolls", its still horrendously disgusting and I'm sure some of them actually believe what they wrote

If the guy is rage gaming that hard, he needs to go punch pillows, and or some inanimate object, instead of hunting down said child, and attacking him. =w= I mean, really. I've heard of people killing each other over video game related things before: adults, kids, etc, and it's just.. weird. People take things too seriously, and need to grow up. >__>

I am amused by the immaturity and lack of calmness in the face of adversity (getting killed in a Call of Duty game really isn't adversity, however) this father exhibits. I pity the children who may replicate his behavior at a later time.

Utter contempt for physically assaulting a child due to a game, though.

^ lol anyway, it's just so immature and pathetic, but at least he could admit that he had no idea what had gotten into him. I can slightly imagine his reaction actually, the kid should have maybe just not provoked him like that and if anything, he should have just muted him or something. BUT of course it's ridiculous and it is just a game, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND it is rated 18 so what's a 13 year old kid doing there anyway. And on that other hand I play 18 rated games as well while I'm not 18 yet so argh, nvm this whole post lol.

The guy just needs to grow up. COD is a game. It should be enjoyed by everyone. Yeah, people talk ****, that's life. If you really are letting what all these people say get to you, well then you need to... not do that. C:Sound logic! xD. He admits to not really knowing what got into him, but honestly...? That's a bit of crossing the line when it comes to strangling someone.

The dad is also a loser. No job, 3 kids, plays COD all day, and worst of all, from what the article made it out to be, he isn't very good. Haha. He should get his life together, get a job, get priorites, things that matter(obv. his kids aren't enough if he's going around strangling people and playing playstation all day). Maybe if he gets a job, he won't have spare time to strangle kids.

Ha. Pathetic.

This is what these mindless games are doing to people.

Seriously though, he has three children of his own? He should have gotten his children taken away from him. Disgusting.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

That's quite the rage he had going there, and I wonder what his children will feel about this situation. But on the other hand, I feel the boy brought this on himself seeing as how the man said the 13-year old was constantly badgering him through the microphone. Hopefully the young teen learned a lesson. Disgusting.

Just goes to show you how srs bsns the gaming world is. Hur hur.
No joke. Especially Yu-Gi-Oh! That is so serious business it's not even funny. If some obnoxious little scrubby kid beat me in YGO, I would just ask for the knife. Just give me the knife so I can end it now.







If you watch a little bit of those videos, you will see the type of person I never want to - EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND - lose against. He could have beaten me if he top decked Judgment Dragon in the third duel but thankfully he is not as sacky as Forever who drops triple Judgment Dragon on my ass.

There are too many people in this world who take games far too seriously. Even on Dueling Network, I encounter sore losers and what not and it's just pitiful. I can be more understanding if it's like a big event and you're dueling to reach the final matchups or whatever but if it's just a casual game, there's really no need to be such a bad sport.

This man means serious business, bro.

I agree with this to a certain degree. Badgering someone over a game is plain immature, but for a grown man to actually fall into a thirteen-year-old's own foolish slander and go after him like that isn't any better on his part. In my opinion, it's far worse than how he described the kid's behavior while playing a game nonetheless.

Wasn't there a similar case in France (?) a while back where a guy was beaten by another guy in a video game - and tracked him, came to his home (and I'm pretty sure the victim lived in an entirely different corner of the country) and attempted to stab him?
The solution to problems like this? If the slightest possibility exists that you might not be able to handle anger about a video game properly, play Singleplayer games, it saves you the work of trying to find out who and where your tormentor is and the only things that will be hurt will be your computer and maybe your fist. The former only costs money and for the latter every at least halfway functioning country has a healthcare program :p

Damn, man., This is the prime example of one guy ruining everything for all of us COD players who just enjoying getting killed. Here's what I would do if I got killed: See myself get killed, curse a bit and then go back into the fray and get killed again. Not become a detective and find out where that kid lives.

I'm sorry, but I do not feel bad for this kid. He deserved it. And the guy, he should know better. And where is the mother in all of this? She's the reason this happened! She let her son play that game when it is clearly made for older gamers and she should have taught him more manners than that.

Blame the mother!

An adult should know what to expect from a boy barely a teenager. Did he play with a 13 year-old boy expecting the wisdom and reservation that comes with age? The boy was childish to act like he did, but the man was still more foolish to be provoked by him. Being annoyed by a teenager is no excuse to physically assault the boy, only a demonstration of immaturity that only the teenager should've shown, not the parent.
