not really worth joking about imo , the guy tried to kill someone
i hope he finds mental help , staying away from the game for a few months and cracking his cd will cure his addiction - if he doesnt end up rotting in jail for 5 years that is
Meh they mention sc and even people on tl.net start speculating about sc being a cause for his actions, which of course is exactly what they're after. He was mentally ill, now i dont give a fuck what triggered this whether it was nerdrage or something else.
You know about those high thresholds below doors that some people have all around their houses? So that every now and then when you walk around you kick it and your toe hurts like a bitch? my friend has those ALL over and i always hurt my toe when im at his house. That gets me so PISSED, like 1000x more pissed than getting 4 pooled 10 times in a row on icc. Fucking architects with all their training couldn't predict this could be a pretty huge problem for the people living in the appartments? if i ever kill someone ima blame those fuckers

it's true, whenever my internet goes down I always wonder what it'd be like to MURDER

I love these kinds of articles.
They're so stupid, they're like counter-arguments against themselves.

VOD`s/Replays or it didn`t happen.
On a serious note, I am very glad to hear the girl managed to survive. I feel sorry that she was attacked simply beacuse she just happened to go by.
I hope they do something about the attacker. He clearly is not sane if he just randomly attacked someone. The news article is retarded, though, at least the bit that was translated. Reminds me of this.

And yeah, calling SC "war game"... You could call it "survival game" as well in that case - since Terrans and Protoss try to survive Zerg's invasion.
Well said haha.

Why did they have to put a picture of starcraft in the article? So stupid. It's obvious that the guy has serious mental health issues and it had nothing to do with Starcraft, but yeah it's metro so you can't really expect anything better than this...

Actually I've gotten really fucking upset when I've played sometimes too. I think it happens mainly if you play terran because you invest so much into the game and all this microing all over the place, and you die because of something silly PvT. Or the games when you are all over the place with 300 apm and suddenly there's a huge recall in your base and you begin to move back only to get flanked and owned by stasis and protoss units + storm GRRRR
oh and the protoss user sits comfortably with 100 apm playing a war-simulation game, while you are playing a hectic real-time strategy game

the war game "Starcraft".
that description of SC is just sooooooooooooooooo inadequate. i dont even know where to begin.
despite the fact that the media is always doing this to games, i still get my panties in a bunch every time i come across it.

he might come out of jail just about when SC2 is released.

I think it is misleading (war game could be anything from Call of Duty to Risk), but if you look at it from a different perspective, it is perfect. StarCraft encompasses all the aspects of war - economy, production, strategy, tactics... StarCraft IS war.

Starcraft is a war game, as is CoD and numerous other FPS's. It is an argument over subject matter and style of play. The subject is an intergalactic conflict, aka War. Just because it is also a strategy game does not make it any less a war game.
On topic, I wish the girl a speedy recovery.
Also if any of you decide to kill someone, uninstall Starcraft first. Don't need to feed the media anymore videogame hate.

Chess is a war game, too. Though I never quite figured out in which time Queens actually were the strongest fighters.

Originally Queen was a vizier or strategy adviser. I guess they thought that he should have the longest reach. Don't know why they made the change really.

The computer game addicted 18 year old (guy) suddenly couldn't get his Internet connection to work.
Dark thoughts grew
I couldn't help think of Stylish the first time he started experiencing computer difficulties.
(only the quoted part, I'd never think an awesome Terran-helper like Stylish would be that crazy)

Hmmz this was on the 9th of august. Does anyone remember when those "you have lost connection with battle.net" bugg thingys started? Might be a connection. Kinda hard to fix your internet when it is a bug withing the game.
Also curious about his nickname, but probably someone unknown.

Reading through the comments to the article it seems nobody is taking this serious and most posters call it bad journalism, so Metro news readers aren't completely brainwashed yet!

iirc:
+ Show Spoiler +Queen - Vizier
King - Maharajah
Bishop - Elephant
Knight - Cavalry
Rook - Chariot
Pawn - Infantry
I'm not sure but I think it was renamed by the Brits when they colonized India where the game originated.
