So another crazy, hardcore gamer goes and kills someone over something incredibablly stupid. Killed his friend over a dispute over a virtual sword (in Mir 3). Check the article either here at IGN: http://pc.ign.com/articles/623/623612p1.html or here at BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4072704.stm Hate it when one small minority of people give the rest of us a bad name. Anyways...

...this is why I dont meet people from online games...
This place is full of tree-huggers and tofu fartn' faeries...
Hey, he sold his virtual sword, I mean, WTF, he deserved it!!!
In all seriousness though, this kind of stuff gets gobbled up by the media. I guarantee you that some overpaid professional will cite this example as the effect of violence and it's relation to video games. Even though it's like a 1/1000000 occurence, it always gets media attention (._.)
Waiting for something fresh to arrive on the MMO scene...
