There is no way in hell my dad would have fallen for, “close your eyes, I have a surprise for you”.
What the hell is wrong with some of these parents? You really have no clue that your kid is off his fucking rocker until you get shot in the head? No warning signs, huh?
Damn, and I used to get pissed off when my brother beat me at weekend marathon games of “Monopoly”.
These kids today…sheesh!
lol

I have to disagree here, I doubt it was done at the momment of the conflict. He probably did it the day after, or at a time when things were “cooled down”
Generally the statement “hey I have a surprise” from someone you live with doesn’t trigger a fear of getting shot in the head. Its not normal to expect someone to be batshit insane like that, especially if they are your kid. Children fight with parents, rarley does it lead to them killing them, especially over something this trivial.

But isn’t that the point? Everyone gets upset at their parents. Everyone does not go and shoot them in the head.
That’s fucking crazy and I have a hard time believing “crazy” just pops out of nowhere unless it is temporary insanity.
Either way, I just can’t picture my dad closing his eyes and waiting for a “big surprise”.

If he would have picked up the “active camouflage” he wouldn’t have had to tell them to close their eyes.

I think the correct vernacular is “teen fragged mother over Halo 3”. Maybe the kid thought she’d respawn.[/quote]
HOLY FUCKING HELL THAT IS FUNNY lol
The article doesn’t specify whether he teabagged them after shooting them. Gotta respect those Halo traditions.
Joking aside, that game is best enjoyed on-line with people you know. Getting matched up with random strangers tends to destroy any esteem you might previously have had for the human race. Xbox Live is apparently a very popular babysitting service.

Right after banning WoW.

Realistically those kids would find something else to do to cause them to flunk out, WoW was just the flavor of the time. There will always be kids dropping out, and the number will grow as the population grows and % of kids attending college in general goes up. I’m going with sensationalist media on that one =/.

That tends to be the prime reason I have shied away from playing a lot of those games on Live any more. Too many douchebags just ruining a perfectly good time. And sad to say, there are also some pretty blatant cheaters out there (i.e. they move 10X faster than everyone else, the Warthogs are suddenly flying through the air, etc.)
However, the Halo teabagging is actually pretty damn funny.
yeah dude thats the only thing i hate about playing online, dudes glitch so bad its not even fun anymore.

Monopoly was banned two years ago due to obscenities being yelled loud enough people a kilometer could hear clearly . Good times

I lost a couple of team slayer matches last night. I still didn’t fly into a homocidal rage. Huh. Maybe next time.

Do it during the matches; maybe you’ll win.

Not any more.
I say give all the kids these video games early on (like at 3 years old) and get them ready for the violent war driven police state.
Embrace your future kiddies…

I played some Chinese cheaters last night. You know, the kind with weird names that don’t translate well into English that use network lagging software to beat you. I’ll admit, I felt somewhat homocidal - enough to give me an eye twitch, but that was about it.

I always wondered how much of a loser someone had to be, that cheating at a videogame to win gave them a boost of self-esteem.
