Man stabbed over World of Warcraft» cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Wei ··· 551.htmlMan stabbed over video game By Galen Eagle, QMI Agency PETERBOROUGH, Ont. A man enraged over the online videogame World of Warcraft allegedly stabbed a neighbour in the chest sending him to hospital. I was sitting in my house today thinking should I be dead or shouldnt I? said Jordan Osborne, 20, on Thursday, who was hospitalized with a stab wound to his sternum. And its all over a World of Warcraft game. Osborne alleges he was stabbed when he went to his neighbour's Peterborough, Ont., apartment on Wednesday after hearing an argument. I was telling him, there is no need for you to be freaking out about World of Warcraft. Its just a game, Osborne said, while his neighbour fought with a friend who was visiting and some other players over his headset. He said, Its not just a game, its my life. Thats when the man grabbed his throat, punched him in the face and stabbed him in the chest, Osborne said. Like they say, it takes over your life, man. Justin Williams, 21, is charged him with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, police said. Williams was scheduled to appear in court Thursday. Peterborough is about 125 km northeast of Toronto. galen.eagle@sunmedia.ca |

....../facepalm.
so WoW is played by 10 million folks and ~ 2-3 stories per year make news with crap like this and "Parents let baby die while playing WoW" or "I blew up Oslo because I like WoW"....even if all those stories were true (which most or not and tend to leave out significant information) it is not statistaclly significant nor is it a direct causality, only a corelation.
How many folks drive drunk and kill someone?, now there is causality and yet these stories dont make headlines. If your buddy says "Hey I had a 12 beers last night and drove home...no problems" that is acceptable or at least more acceptable than "Hey I played WoW for 12 hours in a row and still made it to work". |

I've known a few that got way too into the game, but these few really make the rest of us functioning addicts look bad. |

If you come over to my house after the 15th wipe on a boss that should be on farm, and interrupt the pull, you're getting stabbed in the chest.
Nobody ever comes over, uninvited, to a neighbor's house during the 4th quarter of the Superbowl and says, "Don't be upset, it's just a game." If they did, they'd also get stabbed in the chest. |

Heartstrike is defiinitely more fitting. |

Perhaps. I bet he would have followed up with a Death Strike or Necrotic Strike. |

Maybe he was a caster and he though stabing wouldn't do much damage? |

See if a caster uses a caster dagger on him he'd expect nothing to happen.
And hay I used wand dps on Sindragosa when it was current, (well only when that debuff unchained magic was on me and I was at 6 stacks) |

Must've had him disoriented in a smoke bomb in order to have time to run to the kitchen.
I'm the only guy I know who plays with a shank within reach...I went through a tough stretch in the 90s.
As for the beer comment above. The last time I drove drunk I ended up up-side down in a drainage ditch. Last time I played 12 hours of wow I ended up sleeping on the couch and had bags under my eyes at work. I'll take the couch and droopy eyelids 99 times out of 100, I feel a little froggy sometimes. |

I got the Savage side by side in the closet. We should seek each other out before the Zombie apocalypse, we'd be about 50' of nylon cord, a kerosene lantern, and 3 boxes of MREs short of survival. |
