fresno, my beloved, continues to impress me with stories. a 31 year old man was arrested for assaulting his roommate after they got into an argument over a video game. the victim was stabbed in the leg and had some cuts on his fingers.
the weapon of choice: samurai sword. that's right, the assailant went all kill bill (i'm not sure which volume) on his roommate. or, maybe he went fresno state basketball on him. i forget what late '90's fsu player was also arrested for attacking a guy w/a samurai sword, but i think it also started over video games.
i wonder what they were playing. obvious choices would be:
heavenly sword
dragon quest sword
prince of persia: rival swords
red steel
less obvious choices:
tiger woods gold
rayman raving rabbits
cooking mama: cook off
come on gamers, learn to settle your differences in the game, not by stabbing each other over the game.

Hi-yahhh
Apparantly the samurai sword as weapon isn't just a Fresno thing. I just read an article from London where the government said Wednesday it would ban the sale of samurai swords because the weapons had been used in a number of serious, high-profile attacks. Don't know if any of the attacks were provoked by video games though.

Watch out Ed, I'm bringing sai to play FIFA this afternoon. Watch your back bro.
i was wrong about that grant writing meeting. it's today, not tomorrow. it was originally scheduled for last friday and they bumped it to today.
so, i'm pretty sure i'm going to that from 5:30-7.
Dang. Next time you'll either lose to me in FIFA or fall to the wrath of my sai attacks.
You guys should settle your gaming differences with a well choreographed pocket knife fight a la Michael Jacksons "Beat it".
