Gamer Hears Friend Being Robbed Over Voice Chat

[Electrogecko]

You see? Gaming can do good too.

Awww... that was heartwarming...

I can believe it was an acquaintance. My house got robbed once, and my neighbors caught him in trying to rob it a second time, and it was revealed that he was a guy I knew from the neighborhood.

"He arrived too late to lay any hadoukens on anyone"

I truly hope my friends would be this cool in a similar circumstance.

Gamers spend an average of half their day watching people either get tore to pieces or shoot terrorists. A gamer will probably pick up some of the moves. So, to all you thieves out there. The next time you decide to rob a gamers house remember that he/she:

- Has a knife and can lunge kill you from a distance(Call of Duty);
- Has a gun and mad trigger skills(Call of Duty?);
- Is proficient in system dismemberment(Dead Space anyone?);
- Can operate a chainsaw(Gears of War);
- Can use a crowbar to beat the living shit out of you and probably gouge an eye(Half Life);
- Can manipulate you from a distance with the use of his superior intellect(Can anyone say, RTS games?);
- Has probably killed more hookers than he/she cares to say(Grand Theft Auto 4);
- Has spent 10 years in prison avoiding being buttfucked and learning how to fight, prison style(Mafia 2);
- Can beat you to death with a baseball bat whilst jumping around and moving at fast speeds(Team Fortress 2);
- Can take the disguise of anyone and shoot a sniper rifle like a fucking pro(Hitman);


So, if the "studies" and all the accusations against gamers are founded in something you, mister thief, would have to face a sex starved, egotistical, insane, bipolar, violence hungry, murderer with an achy finger and a knife who also probably watches Dexter.

It's all your choice there, buddy.

That was pure luck, and someone being a great freind.

Well, that's quite a stretch of luck, isn't it?

Your friend happened to hear you get robbed, come over fast enough and see one of the robbers, who actually took his mask off just at that time and just happened to be an "acquaintance".

That sounds pretty unbeliavable, to be honest.

I mean, I'm not doubting it, just saying that this is quite the coincidence.

Eh, not to me. The levels of stupidity humanity can hit are rather surprising. People have tried to rob a store with a paper bag over his head, and no holes in it to see. So for some cocky bastard of an "acquaintance" to pull his mask off outside just before making their escape isn't too surprising. Not noticing another car coming up behind them is another thing.

And there is no timeline set in this, maybe he left as soon as the yelling and commotion started. Hell if I heard something like that, I'd head over to the friends house as well. Only difference is I'd be sure to pack a weapon or two with me, and at 1am here the roads are empty so I could probably hit my friends house in 5-10mins easy, and considering a robbery will take around 10mins anyways, it is plausible I'd reach the house just as they start to leave or try and get away.

Same, aside from that, i'd also either drive in front of the car and block it in, or ram the side of it so its easily recognised.

The car my family drives is only worth like £150 anyway

The vast majorities of robberies and thefts are committed by people who've seen your house from the inside.

This might throw a crowbar into the anti-game sentiment out there of late in Utah.
