un-hinged... now if people think games don't influence people negatively... Read this: By Suzanne Choney A 46-year-old father of three has admitted to court officials that he attacked a boy who killed off his "Call of Duty: Black Ops" character. Mark Bxxxxxx, of Plymouth, England, became unhinged after his character was murdered, but also because he said the 13-year-old who took the shot called him a name. The two were playing the game over the Internet, and using microphones to talk. Bxxxxxx knew where the boy lived, stormed over to his house and grabbed the boy's throat with both hands, according to the youngster's mother, who came to his rescue, says a report in The Mirror. The boy had some scratches, but was unharmed physically. "It wasn’t malice. I just grabbed him. I’ve seen him since and apologized. The injuries weren’t that bad but I do regret it," Bxxxxx told the court Thursday. Bxxxxxxx's attorney, Tccccc Bccccc, said her "just lost it," but that the attack wasn't planned, said the Plymouth Herald. What is planned is an Oct. 24 sentencing hearing for Bxxxxxx, who was released on bail. Said the boy's mother to The Mirror: "It’s pathetic that a grown man would attack a defenseless like this. If you can’t handle losing to a then you shouldn’t be playing games." |
