Wow. It's serious business.

[Crayz Penguin]

i envy the husband. ive wanted to rip so many peoples throats out in wow. glad he finaly got to do it. :tup:

[angryliberal]

his name is bronco carson. that makes teh story like 10x better.

[Remy Saotome]

:lol: That's messed up on all kinds of levels. That he was dumb enough to be a bully in-game, that he was dumb enough to give out his home address, that the other guys were nasty enough to beat someone up IRL over a game.... All kinds of idiocy there.

[tajiri]

the real question is:

"what will marvel players do to 'up the ante'? "

[Chachi]

Did they gank all of his shit too?

"You ganked my epic drop, we gonna gank yo TV."

[The Fireboy]

Did they gank all of his shit too?

"You ganked my epic drop, we gonna gank yo TV."

Rofl you beat me to it. :rofl:

[Shinto]

Gank sounds dirty, how bout Gunk.....

[g3nshir0_]

ganking is fucking funny in online games
I used to lure noobs and just kill them
I also ninja looted a lot of people
clans hate me

[Lick Me Off]

Damn, imagine how funny it would be if he gave him someone else's address instead.

[Alzarath]

Jack Thompson inc? :looney:

[Geese Pants]

Dumbass..............[/red]

[AdverseSolutions]

i hloled

[Night]

I loved that. Highlight of the day! E-thug got beaten up physically and they totalled his computer too wahahahahaha. Everybody wins!

[Devil X]

Hmm, how is this news worthy? Jaha and Watson would have articles written about them every other month for stuff like this.:rofl:

[spudlyff8fan]

Carson probably charged at them and yelled "LEROOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEENNNNNKINS!"

[Jida]

"The woman had already threatened Carson online, and Carson said that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack."

It kinda looks like the woman was e-thugging; or maybe both of them.

[fishjie]

where is jack thompson with the lawsuit?

this kind of video game inspired violence is clearly unacceptable and a tool of satan. this must be stopped now. blizzard is responsible for this by putting out this demonic fantasy game with magic and witchcraft.

[Taichi]

can't read the article, it keeps redirecting me to some phishing site.

can you copy and paste the article text here, plz?

[Zor]

his name is bronco carson. that makes teh story like 10x better.

:lol: Who in the fuck would name their kid Bronco.

[Million]

...yet another asshole parent, apparently. That name reminded me of "Bronco Billy". I never played it, but that title was forever stuck in my memory...you don't forget a name like that.

*less people would talk so big and bold over the net if real life violence could become more common...

[Juggy]

I fuck with people all the time and give my real address. No one has showed up and thumped my face in yet. I look forward to the day.

[DaDesiCanadian]

He gave her his address, he totally deserved it. Fucking idiot.

[Irennicus]

I love these articles. It's so obvious that everyone involved is a retard.

[spudlyff8fan]

:lol: Who in the fuck would name their kid Bronco.

A Mexican, apparently.

[<---SiNN--->]

Anything that has to do with WoW isn't serious business.

Funny,but not serious business.

[TGC]

What's the difference between this and Marvel?

People sound like they're gonna get shot for marvel.

[specs]

I'm torn.

On one hand, the guy probably shouldn't have given his home address.

But on the other hand, kicking the shit out of someone over a fucking game? That's just jackassery personified, seriously. (:rofl: The wife was a scrub, letting herself get ganked repeatedly)

I'd like to see how big the two guys who did this are. I'm kinda wondering how I'd react to the situation. Back when I posted on *shudder* GameFAQs some douche said that if I "met him in a dark alley I'd be dead." I gave him my real name, told him to use the web to find my addy, and come prove it. He apologized and backed off. :rofl: But then again, for all I knew he could've been some 500 lb mafia henchman who could knock me around like the Russian did to the Punisher in that crappy movie. I won't just cower in a fight but I'm no fighter, not by a longshot; my "dare" was a bluff, really.

This whole thing reminds me of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where they beat up the punks badmouthing Bluntman and Chronic on message boards. :rofl:

[Logos]

What a fucking dumbass. Sure, it was a douchebag move for the husband to bring two guys along, but giving out his address in the first place was fucking stupid.

What I wonder is how far they had to drive to get to him.

[Vynce]

With this and the Craigslist prostitution, WoW is looking more and more like the red light district of the internet. I'm glad someone who plays got beat, though. I bet he always went on and on about the game, annoying his friends and co-workers that don't play.

[Nagata Lock II]

:confused: Where's the part where the assailant was arrested? :confused:

[PaRt2]

This whole thing reminds me of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where they beat up the punks badmouthing Bluntman and Chronic on message boards. :rofl:

"HOW MANY PEOPLE WANNA KICK SOME ASS!?" :rofl:

WoW makes people do crazy things!!! Interesting read.

[Adam Warlock]

The more I think about it, the more I think this is fake. You can't even talk to each other in WoW if you're in opposite factions. They'd have to go through a lot of trouble just to be able to communicate.

[Rhio2k]

"The woman had already threatened Carson online, and Carson said that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack."

It kinda looks like the woman was e-thugging; or maybe both of them.


Shoulda got like 3 clans together and gang e-rape her, then kill and loot. Then told her "Want more? You know where to find me. /pees on corpse" and give the address across the street.

[Digitalbooty]

I'm pretty sure this is fake.
