Didn't this happen on back on a Madden game back on the original Xbox? I'm pretty sure that The Boondocks parodied this situation based on a real event 4 or 5 years ago in an episode where a man was shot after trash talking another man about Madden.
Man Killed After Fight Over Cheating in Madden
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Does this remind anyone else of that episode from Season 1 of the Boondocks? The "xbox killer" killed his friend over a game of madden, and tom gets wrongly arrested because he was black.
The best way I could think of for cheating in Madden would be looking at the plays that the other team is making and then choosing the play that best counteracts that. But the thing about this is, how do we know that they were cheating in the first place? The cop didn't give evidence that proved they were cheating. The only thing I could think of that would lead to that conclusion would be the video game on when the police arrived. But still, how would that prove that they were cheating? For all we know, the cop could be an anti-video game believer and decided to use this as a means of swaying the Supreme Court ruling before the cops actually investigated it. At the same point, what if the article writer was an anti-gamist, and worded it to seem like it was over them cheating? Besides, there are plenty of things that they could break out fighting over while playing the game.

For example:
*scores a touchdown* "**** yeah, b****! I'm beating your *** better than your gf's last night!"
"Wtf did you just say?!"
"You heard me. I ****ed your b**** hard last night!"
"Why, you little piece of ****!" *beats him up while friends watch in horror without helping, notices his friend is dead, hears cop sirens and steals a bike to escape*
It's very plausible if you ask me. We just don't know the straight facts for sure.

Ahh fuck my town is the news. First thought: Wait how do they know about the game link! Second thought: Probably has something to do with information that hey can't fully reveal without harming their case or some-such. MAy they be locked away and forgotten.
No. Revenge will not bring him back and neither will paralyzing them. Their conscience will get the best of them.Tankichi said:
An important point to make here: 'WE' didn't resort to murder. THEY did. Just a few (probably) drunken bastards. That's all. As soon as anyone starts generalizing this behaviour, ALL GAMERS LOSE. Calm down, folks.Celtic_Kerr said:
If they don't have a conscience then they are mentally ill and should be treated as such.Tankichi said:
Yes you are. Guilt, regret and remorse are part of a normal human beings range of emotion. Absence can indicate something anywhere from aspergers to a brain tumor.Tankichi said:
Also, you don't KNOW if they knew that. Either way, an absence of emotion would indicate a mental problem. Still, death is not to be taken lightly and neither you nor a judge have the right to decide if somebody lives or dies.
WE SHOULD MAKE FARMVILLE MOM AND MADDEN DUDES HAVE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH IN AN ARENA MADE OF LIONS AND FIRE!!!!!! AND THE WINNER IS GIVEN AN ACIDTINI COCKTAIL!!!!!! THIS IS ALL A VERY RATIONAL REACTION!!!!! WHY ARE GAMERS STEREOTYPED AS TANTRUM-THROWING HYPER-EMOTIONAL CHILDREN?!?!?!
