10 pages of immature teenagers acting all tough and saying a 13yo boy deserved to get a beating from an adult because he said something "offensive" whilst playing a video game. Respect for escapist community drops several levels.

I find this immensly funny and especially at the daily mail quote making the kid seem all innocent, balls to that :D

if he was a loosly connected friend of the family i would have though a well timed mum joke would have been appropriate to make it all the more personal :D

At least the kid wasn't tea-bagged. That'd probably far harder to explain...

I suspect that the guy will get some community service for his little act of misguided rage. Restraining order and some rehab at worst. 'Tis just conjecture though.

just wanted to point out that the Daily Mail (or Daily Fail) is our equivelant of Fox News.

Just so you know ;)

Considering this scenario to be true, I think all three of them got what they deserve. (Yes the neglecting and uncaring mother too) Well done, good job everyone!

Words mean nothing, But being so psychologically messed up to the point where you TRACK PEOPLE DOWN JUST TO ASSAULT THEM- That's a fucking problem. Regardless if the kid deserved it or not.
I'm not saying video games do this to you, I'm saying someone should put that guy in a mental institute.

Because it's soooo difficult to just simply change servers/game lobbies.

Kid shouldn't even have the game for starters and rightfully deserved a good smack to the head for being a prick, but not a throttling.

Old man shouldn't have flipped out over a stupid kid yelling down the line. Mutes exist for this reason.

And chances are the media is going to jump all over this like hobos with a piece of food claiming Video Games cause violence and shit.

Kid shouldn't have been constantly taunting him.

Older guy shouldn't have lost his shit, and when he did, he sure as hell shouldn't have decided a visit was in order, as that's way past 'heat of the moment'.

However, no real damage done, apology accepted, and they're even playing each other again.

It's pretty much a step up from punching your mate in the leg for getting a kill streak. (As I'm thinking throttled is probably an extreme term, probably grabbed him by the neck for a couple of a seconds then came to his senses.)

As has been repeated tho, it's the Daily Mail, so 'vidya games are evil'. who'da thunk it?

While reading the news post, I couldn't take this image off my head.


I can't take this news seriously, sorry for not commenting something more intelligent.

"Apologize now and I will let this go, however if you do not apologize then I must warn you, I have a very special set of skills and I will find you."

If the mom hadn't stopped him and the man had killed the kid, would you all still be supporting him? He didn't just go over to backhand him, he CHOKED him.

Let me get this straight, going to Facebook Memorial pages to talk shit about the deceased to the grieving family is perfectly alright and within freedom of speech, but apparently talking trash in an online match is grounds for getting your ass kicked?

...Stay classy Escapist.
This. And also what the guy who got warned for the other post said. Someone talks smack in a video game, kill them. Someone torments a dead girl's family, it's the internet man grow thicker skin. It's like you people are the Joker or something.

"It's pathetic that a grown man would attack a defenseless child like this," his mother added. "If you can't handle losing to a child then you shouldn't be playing games."

A tenner says the woman is a hypocrite who yells and screams in rage just like any other mother. If she's ever spanked her kid (well if she did maybe the little snot would be better mannered and wouldn't go around trash talking people) in anger then she's a self-righteous twit that doesn't have a single right to complain.

Cause the brat sure doesn't.

There's definitely something very, very wrong with attacking a 13 year-old because he was being a dickhead on CoD. Now, with that said, I want to shake Mr. Bradford's hand.

No, I can't take this story seriously, as a matter of fact.
