Shoot him.




Completely inappropriate for PCG and really anywhere.

When I was a kid I would play lemmings just to figure out all the interesting ways to commit mass murder and I turned out fine. Now I refuse to play FarCry 3 because I don't want to have to shoot virtual tigers.

Get the kid a real pet to make sure he knows the difference between reality and a video game.

So what you're saying is that a parent who is clearly interested in his child's well being, to the point that he would come to an internet forum to for suggestions from other gamers on how to curb this child's behavior in game, probably hasn't done any firm parenting regarding the problem of repeatedly biting people he comes into contact with?

This kid has issues and clearly his parents aren't equipped to deal with it. That's the very definition of when you seek help from a professional.

Where do you get this? Repeatedly biting people? The OP said he bit one person, which is one too many, obviously. But the kid is f. i. v. e. There are a lot of five year-olds with behavior issues. I had three of them. It's perhaps not coincidental that the OP also has three children. You get a lot more acting out and pushing limits when there are more siblings to compete with.

Anyway, damn good example of why this is probably the last place I would come for advice if I really thought my kid had issues.

Whatever, there are millions of people who shoot people in games everyday and almost none of them actually do it in real life. It's just a f--king game people.

I stand corrected, I missed the word kick, I thought his kid was biting instructors and kids.

But I agree with that last statement, behavior problems in a game shouldn't be resolved in the game, they should be resolved elsewhere, so asking gamers for a solution is the wrong approach.

sorry guys but ... WTF?
either OP is a major troll, or he's deluded. have you ever played minecraft? burning animals is *what you do* , especially if the game is set on peaceful. this is like complaining that a kid playing space invaders is shooting the invaders!

maybe put it back on normal and let him actually play the game, or take away his PC entirely because evidently you can't handle yous son having a PC.

seriously learn2reallife.

208 posts, posts a absurd sounding story and has a trollish name designed to mischaracterize and generalize. Yeah this guy is a troll building up his/her post count.
