Video game fan takes one to the chest.

[Maphusio]

On www.purepwnage.com Jeremy talks about how his heart skipped a beat when he read a headline similar to that and saw a picture of a guy wearing a pure pwnage cap... Understandably he thought this would be yet another finger pointing situation where a thing such as music or in his case his television show was to blame.

Fortunately, this was a story of heroism. A Pure Pwnage fan attempted to stop two armed robbers and took one to the chest. He is listed in serious/stable condition.

I guess, if I were in this guys shoes I would be happy as hell that I survived but at the same time a little disappointed that I did not make a bigger difference in stopping the criminals. Either way, take that to all those right wing religious fanatics that say video games are destroying todays youth.

Hey, I'd shoot someone too if they were wearing a Pure Pwnage hat.

And I'd jump in front of that gun, if I had a Pure Pwnage hat.

Aww sad... But I figure one would shoot me due to my 1337 limited edition HFC M199 abilities.

I'd like to give him credit for trying, but unfortunately he didn't accomplish anything. Still.. "NT".

Ahh, good ol Pure Pwnage. Hurray for video gamers trying to save people from armed villains!

Maybe he should go level up for a bit and try it again later.

I thought this was some geek kinky sex thread.

Damn

So, is Thompson now complaining that games make people try to do heroics?

If he actually begins to complain about video gamers trying to be heroes, I'll go down to his place of residence and slap him in the face. I'll immediately have to run because he'll call the cops on me, but it'll be worth it.

He'll just blame video games for that as well.

"He has publicly humiliated and disrespected me by slapping his hand across my face; most probably because of his horrible childhood that was embossed with violent video games."

Did I mention I really really really hate fanatics that impose their demented will upon the rest of the world? At the same time its quite fascinating how these types come to the conclusions that they do...
