this link describes five (imo) funny situations, either through irony or just stupidity.
vote on which one you liked the most, i voted #4 that was epic! (btw second life = American sims ripoff) *thx, always thought it was british*

 

[JJDWilson]

Sorry to break it to you, but Second life is American.

I've read number 4 before. Heck, there was documentry about it!

Out of those it's a tie between 3 and 4. But have you heard about the kid who got on the news because his account was hacked on Runescape? Apparently he interacted with real world traders - breaking game rules - then was shocked when his account was hacked and robbed. My sadistic side laughed very hard at his stupidity and self inflicted pain.

Edit:
He's even below the age for RS, and went onto a fake site. I find it hilarious that anyone sympathises. xD

I can edit in a video if anyone is interested in the news report XD

Go for it.

none of them, to me that's not funny. Its makes me pissed off that people take games this seriously.

But if I HAD to choose...the first one.

Especially the end, where the woman then hooks up with another online persona. Priceless.

I can't stopp laughing. PWN3D

 

[Gerazzi]

... screw timmy, that fourth one was hilarious!

Not to mention some of the quests on RS are hard, and he wouldn't be able to figure them out.
=_= he was cheating already.
Uber 1337 H4><0R1|\| tho.

Yeah. I hate to use the word, but FAIL.
The fact that this little dipshit spent real money on something like Runescape, and that his parents didn't see anything amiss with this situation just lowered my faith in humanity again.

 

[Vuljatar]

None of them are particularly funny, but 5 is the most mind-boggling.

 

[Del-Toro]

Story 5, because someone actually went to the police over pixels, that's what astounds me isn't what the convicts did but what the victim did, unbelievable.
