An 18 year old Starcraft player has been reported as attacking a 15 year old girl. The gamer became angry when his internet connection wouldn't work and picked up a kitchen knife and headed into the street. When there he came into contact with a 15 year old girl who was on her way home from a party and laughing with a friend. He attacked her with the knife but despite several stabs her injuries were not life threatening.

The troubled teenager has now been sentenced to psychiatric care by the Nacka court for these actions, his first offense. The gamer's thoughts apparently grew dark as a result of his internet connection problems not allowing him to play Starcraft. The prosecutor, Jennie Söderberg, attempted to have him tried for attempted murder but the court classified the knife attack as attempted manslaughter as the case had a psychiatric component to it and he apparently did not leave his house with intent to kill the girl. The incident took place on the 9th of August.

News from sk-gaming

wow ,another crazy people

Starcraft? Really? I would of thought by now everyone on the old bnet would be use to the bad connection that's been going one for quite some time recently. Besides, SC never had that great of a reliable connection. (at least not one that I can remember.)

Sigh

Is there a "report a violent things gamers do" trend here in mmo?



Sometimes I want to smash my screen when extremely annoying things happen life that.
But going out and randomly stabbing people is not what I have in mind.

stupid

well ,when I read the news the first time ,I jsut couldn't understand why they did this . should we really blame this to video games ?

It is not that they are being mental but of the fact that they are addicted to the game. Have anyone of you feel like hittting someone when they interrupted your game? Thats the feeling of addiction but in tthese cases , they are beyond their own control>< .
