an extreme example of a phenomenon that academics call “internet banging”
Really? We call it that?
Today I learned a term “academics” pulled from their asses to describe “being a fucking psycho” and “attempted murder.”
Not sure why they charged him with murder 2 - this is clearly some premeditated shit.
How do these people figure out where their opponent lives?
Modern social media that demands irl info and dumbasses who can’t figure out how to fill in false information into them. If I got into an online dispute like this, I’d just give them the address of some police barracks. Let them have fun with charges on an attemped swat on the cops.
What the fuck
This is horrible… but of course it was a Korean MMORPG
I’ll be honest: I think this only made the news because it wasn’t league of legends. I was shocked.
I thought it was going to be CoD or CS. Years ago, there was a CS dispute that ended in an arson attempt.
What do you mean “of course”? If I had to guess the game in question, I would have said CounterStrike or Call of Duty.
Oh come on, MMORPG players have always been the worse of the two. I mean, most people of both camps are really nice. But playing a shooter vs pretending you’re a wizard? Way more chance to drop off the really deep end.
(Please don’t take this too seriously.)
Yeah MMO players will actively change their life just to get back at players in game for months or years.247 no time off. When I saw the title, immediately knew it was an MMO.
