She is a liar and a coward for not telling him and leaving it up for him to discover them in the act. Seriously, that's low. Maybe if she was not so cowardly he would not of been so shocked and did what he did?
A guy having sex with someone elses girlfriend should totally see a beating coming.

It's kinda crass, but no one is going to make the joke that a fighting videogame taught him how to hit people, and that thee violence of the game made him violent? <.<
Or did I miss it?

Nonetheless, I think most well adjusted human beings can probably agree that cheating isn't a misdeed which merits getting shot in the head.Father Time said:
People who walk really slowly in front of me and block the whole pavement though...THAT'S the kind of offence where heads need to start rolling.
Thanks for reinforcing my stereotypical view of competitive gamers.

Seriously though, people like this guy need court-mandated mental treatment.

Even light delving into the gaming world one would know that. Really, it is common sense through simple observation. Such multiplayer games are by nature, competitive. Competitive things that are popular, like popular games, will have a competitive community scene, and in such communities there will be rankings.faefrost said:
Starcraft, Starcraft 2, and League of Legends(really most popular even some less popular RTS and MOBA games have competitive communities and leagues with teams and such). Even Pokemon has its championship events.
We live in a world where Major League Gaming has been a thing for several years.
Fighting games are one of the big gaming competition scenes with games in the Marvel VS. Capcom, and Street Fighter series.
Looking for the shock factor I see. You can't be for real. If so, then I'm thinking that if someone takes candy from a baby, that person needs to have his fingers ripped from his hands and his mouth stitched closed, am I right?The7Sins said:
But back to the real and sane world, when someone cheats on us, we either:
A.) Ask them why they did it and civilly work it out with them, if possible to stay together.
B.) Break up with them and walk away because at that point they are not worth dealing with if they are going to cheat.
Nowhere in a sane mind does murder come into play, and that is fact.
I find it sad that the first thing I asked myself upon reading the article was, "How many combos did he get?"Phrozenflame500 said:

...Too soon, Captcha. The sting of Colonial Marines is still too fresh.
Of course, it's a given that almost any game that has competitive play in it has global rankings in some form.faefrost said:
Pokemon, for example, still holds annual tournaments for the top players with the best Pokemon.
Virtually any decent fighting game has them like Soul Calibur V or Street Fighter 4.
Etc.
Needs anger management? what bullshit. i would seriously be surprised if any man who found his gf with another guy didn't throw a few punches. i know i would. if you honestly think you wouldn't, than you must have never been in love.
Yeah, not going to mince words here. While cheating and thievery are bad and deserving of punishment, to claim that cheaters and thieves should all be shot in the head is completely disgusting and, yes, evil.The7Sins said:
You are a truly disturbing individual.
That's Andy Chalk's articles in a nutshell.Legion said:
On the subject, what's with the double standards surrounding physical violence? The guy who gets punched several times gets a fraction of a sentence but the cheating girlfriend that got punched once is entirely focused on. This doesn't help dissolve the notion that game journalists are all white knights.
The only thing this guy did wrong was allow 2 breathing human beings to exit his suite in anything less than 2 lumpy fluid filled body bags. There is no good or moral reason to ever allow people like these to continue living. Cheaters only go on to spread more misery and ruin more lives. Tired of people normalizing this kind of behavior. There is simply no excuse for it. There is no upside to the social contract to allowing cheating. We have way too many people on this planet anyway, and i cant think of a better criteria for weeding down our numbers a bit than seeing betrayers to an early grave.
And just so no one tries to accuse me of misogyny, i mean for this to be applied to both genders. A man cheating should also not live to see another day.
If you think i'm being too extreme then i challenge anyone to show one advantage to allowing cheaters to live? One net good to allowing this madness to continue that trumps all the harm done. How does allowing people to betray the most deeply held bonds of trust which are self-imposed of use to society?
If people want to break up, fine. If people want to get divorced, go ahead. People can do any of these things whenever they like. There is simply no excuse for cheating.

Ohhhh, another first-world problems.
Lemme grab my cutlets and pickled cucumbers, and you can begin saying "girl is always right".

I don't pass judgement on people. I only say that violence isn't an option when it comes to cheating. That said, if the relationship is null, one should consider why one gets angry enough to resort to violence over something that is no longer a "thing".
From what I can tell, this guy is in need of some therapy at the least.
I understand the point of view, if one is in a relationship and one is not informed (going hyperbole here because I have not the whole story) and one catches the significant other cheating, its best to walk out, walk away and wash one's hands of the whole affair (no pun intended).
Rational thought is difficult when it comes to emotions, thats why I have a standing rule when I get angry at my wife to walk away. If I ever caught her cheating, I'd be pissed for sure but I'd also bow out with grace and later feel I came out on top (again no pun intended) because I took the higher course.
Not everyone is set up to handle that, and it takes years of work on oneself to be able to walk away. I still find myself in situations sometimes where I forget my standing rule and continue to be angry. It never leads anywhere good.

The only justified bit of violence in this is the fact he supposedly hit her.
Striking a man for having sex with your girlfriend is unacceptable - he was not the one who was obligated to you in any way. All the violence should have been directed at his girlfriend.
