What isn't mentioned, is how the father would beat the child relentlessly in all the years prior to the incident.

 

In before they update the article with a connection to Gran Theft Auto 4 and japanese RPGs.

 

Sledgehammer.... obvious this is Fallout's 3 fault.

 

No, its Donkey Kong's fault! Ban Mario! Ban Nintendo! Ban the Wii!

 

"At around 1:00 a.m. (local time) on April 12, the suspect dealt his sleeping father at least two blows on the head with a sledgehammer. The man died on the spot from a head injury," the region's investigative committee said in a statement.

That's sick.

After the killing, the boy's frightened mother gave him the keyboard back and the boy played computer games for several more hours until he fell asleep, Biryukova said.

And that's disturbing.

 

Sledgehammer.... obvious this is Fallout's 3 fault.

The first thing that came to my mind was Action Doom 2.

 

But newer popular games are the best weapon to use for bashing against video games... so i'm sticking with fallout 3 .

 

 

Ban the Wii!

Yeeahhhh buddy!

 

No, its Donkey Kong's fault! Ban Mario! Ban Nintendo! Ban the Wii!

i thought the point was to not to ban games, or you'll get a sledge-hammer to your head

 

Faux News

end of the story

 

Kid is just kid ban his father for trepassing.

 

Makes my thoughts turn to Condemned: Criminal Origins. One of my favorite melee weapons was the sledge hammer. :evil:

How old is the kid?

 

....i always suspected you had a sadistic side.

 

What interests me is how the boy becomes that way. The video game ban was just a trigger, and I do get the feeling that Fox let out some facts to emphasize the role of playing video games in the turn of event. But that's just me.

 

How old is the kid?

14

Perhaps he was just playing whack a mole with his father since his father took his keyboard away.

 

But newer popular games are the best weapon to use for bashing against video games... so i'm sticking with fallout 3 .

I dunno, this one looks really tempting to blame. Besides, this game was released less than 2 years ago IIRC. When you crush your enemies with it, blood and guts can fly everywhere. If you want some real gory action with a sledge hammer, THIS game tops all!

 

What isn't mentioned was if the boy had a history of psychiatric problems.

 

time for a new carmageddon themed game.

Blueshogun is conscripted for the "Victim" AI.

 

I don't think there can be any denying that this fellow is to blame for the father's untimely demise:

They don't need to, everyone knows that people with mental issues can't kill someone, only those that plays video games can.

 

Well not everyone with a mental illness kills. In fact more mentally ill people are threats to themselves than others.

 

im mentally ill.

i see Paratechs everywhere.

 

I thought Mortal Kombat when I read it. What a great series.

 

well this is certainly one example of child discipline going horribly wrong.
