that's the second reported one this month.

Yeah they appear to be happening more frequently. Although I generally distrust the media as they tend to get on certain stories (a few years ago it was child kidnapping despite the FACT kidnappings were actually at like a 30 year LOW)

Not a single mention of his K/D ratio in the entire article. Journalism....

Or the amount of he drank.

LOL yeah the article wasn't very well written.

Unless he was pissing himself, he didn't drink enough apparently.

Yeah the story doesn't make it clear but its pretty obvious he didn't bother to even drink water during his session.

And his mother knew the entire time yet didn't do anything about it? Seriously?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

Yeah the parenting skills in this country aren't that high.

Yeah they appear to be happening more frequently.

You think so? I actually think it's been decreasing for a while now. There were a few years there with the early Internet and Internet cafes where it seems like it was getting reported all the time.

Maybe I missed those stories back then I generally recall this issue getting some play when some M.D.s tried to add it to their dx code (gaming addiction) but I believe it was rejected.

Has two, actually. One for PS and one for Vita, and the trophies sync across platforms.

We should probably make a little smaller.

This guy dumped in $20k on games to keep them sealed and wrapped thinking it would be a good investment. Duhhhhhh current video games that are two years old only will depreciate. Enjoy your $17k loss

(edit) he has a reserve...it's probably $20k

I need to just start building an "Exhibit Folder" to make the case of why America is headed for an INEVITABLE DECLINE. $20K "invested" in games instead of a 401(k) or just an emergency savings fund. That might not be "Exhibit 1" in my trial but it would definitely be up there in the low #s.

America is fucked dude. I've been saying it for years and have been seeing the slow decline.

Yeah my wife thinks it's always been this way but I think society as a whole is getting dumber and dumber and more dependent on Goverment just to live. I hear/see these "Man on the Street" videos/interviews and I just want to CRY (on both sides of the political spectrum BTW).

Most definitely. I may think Republicans are insane, but, it's also the vocal minority of them that immediately comes to mind because they're the ones that smear their idiot selves all over the place and there are Democrats that are just as bad.

Some of the things have always been this way, but, the amount of times that it happens seems to be more frequent; therefore, my conclusion of seeing the shit for 28 years leads me to believe that, we, as a human race, are getting dumber because technology is making us all more lazy and less likely to learn the necessary things to strive as a normal human being. Internet behavior is bleeding over into normal human behavior and people aren't kicking the shit out of people enough to stop the shit from spreading.

[JBHuskers]

Seriously...did he not know that current games will only depreciate unless they're rare? I mean WOW, at least he wasn't 100% dumb, he put a reserve on it.

[JBHuskers]

Speaking of which, I guess I own a fairly rare current game.



It's OOP and fetches around $40-$50. A definite surprise to me for a game that is only a couple years old.

[SmoothPancakes]

I love how that dumbass thought sports games were a good investment. Yeah, 3 sealed copies of NCAA Football 10 are gonna roll in those big bucks.
