Maybe he fell asleep whittling something or other?

I don't remember seeing any kitchen knives either.

this is such BS... if he really was sleep-playing, he'd be twiddling his fingers, not making stabbing motions... and don't get me started about 3 tvs... they were either going to break anyways or they're full of it.

I was thinking the same thing.


I played everquest for a while, but if I ever had a dream about it, I doubt I would be making stabbing motions. I just used F12 for auto attack. Plus I used a spear so even if I imitated the motions it wouldnt be the same if the person was lying down asleep.

I think the kid had problems, and this game probably didnt help push him in the right direction.


The 3 tv's thing is utter BS.... Is there any reason to think that you can't leave a TV on for a few years straight without it breaking? If it does, then the warranty would take over. That was definitely a type of comment that makes you go, "OH WOW!! that kid must have played it alot" if you dont know any better.

Adams County Christian School student

haha! OMG.... a Christian student.... playing Diablo.... gj.

This kid needs to be sent to Federal Pound Me In The @ss Prison. He is stupid, and no judge in his right mind will believe his attorneys.

 

[Glitchny]

..... good point about the knife, where the hell did he get it? i mean u dont open many kitchen drawers and take out knives to st@b(god damn banned word) sleeping people with in diablo

 

[ReiAyanami]

well if blind koreans can play starcraft...

but diablo teaches you to kill goblins not humans.

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Kill all three of 'em.

[peterskm]

Good thing he wasn't listening to Ozzy, or he might have killed his whole family.

 

[DrPizza]

I have soooo much doubt about what the family is claiming....

Can the D.A. call shenanigans?

Yes...infact thats pretty much his job

Dr. Steven Scheer is the Medical Director for St. Luke Hospitals Sleep Disorder Center.

He's unsure of the video game aspect, but is sure a sleepwalker can kill.

"If that 14-year-old is so convinced that he is confronting a giant monster," said Dr. Scheer.

I would hope that if he is a medical director, that he could atleast finish his sentences during an interview.......:Q

 

[Azraele]

His mother says he played so much, he ruined screens on three televisions.

:Q

 

[tk149]

Good thing he wasn't addicted to Counterstrike. He would have shot his aunt with an MP5.

 

[EyeMWing]

Three televisions? I've ruined one 19" monitor with a power spike, and one 21" TV's VHF tuner knob (Back before I had a computer).

I have over 16 CRTs in this house right now, which together have about 72 hours of runtime per day. Only those two have ever been screwed up, and one was because it was 30 f'n years old, and the other because of a power spike.

Sounds to me like he had his TVs plugged into a 220v circuit. The playstation's disc spindle drive would wear out years before the FIRST TV. Sony engineers would gladly testify to that.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

If he had played Diablo that much he must have really sucked at it if he still couldn't find anything better than a knife

72 hours of runtime per day

Combined runtime. Only wankers only have one CRT turned on at a time.

Too bad there aren't any pics of the aunt. That might explain how he could confuse the two :evil:

 

[Winchester]

That is what being demon possessed will do to you!
