In recent news, a mother from Korea has strangled her son after a four hour gaming marathon. Her older child (Three years), urinated on the floor & was crying so much, being neglected by the videogame-addicted mom. His crying got so loud that she 'nerd raged' & strangled him to death, leaving him dead on their floor for several days. Her younger child (One year) was in the other room, living with them, but was not harmed by 'Kim', which is the only information that has been given, due to requests.

Reports say she is addicted to 'virtual pets' & 'Korean card games' online, which has been popular in Korea lately.

Other cases such as this have happened in Korea, such as a boy who got so obsessed with videogames, & for his reasons, killed his mother, & then himself.

The people who reported her was her in-laws, who somehow found out about the situation & reported it to the police.

Her neighbors say that Kim's families living environment is trashy, & isn't suited for children of that age. They also commented on how she'd leave her kids crying & crying for hours, without trying to tend to them.

The mother is currently in custody & awaiting trial.

Why do that? why

This is one way to decrease the population..

How ironic, virtual pet is a game where you take care of your pet, Feed it and groom it.

The media's gonna have a field day with this one. It's people like this that give video games bad names. And I'm sure instances like this one will be the foundation for attempts to ban video games. If you call playing a video game for 4 hours a "marathon" then you're obviously not accustomed to video games. There should be a curve of how long you're allowed to play based on how much you've already played, because it's new gamers that get addicted, not the experienced gamers.

I just hope they realize that this isn't the video game's fault.

"4" hours of playing a videogame is considered a marathon? If so then I have a videogame marathon almost everyday.

This is just horrible, I can't even fathom what goes through people's heads to make them do such a horrible thing, especially when it's your own damn son!

Probably the best comment in the thread :bro:
