  • inactive, on 11/06/2007, -45/+555Its pretty tragic but I hope he pressed F5 and quicksaved before he jumped?
  • Yondelldude, on 10/17/2007, -10/+395I think I can hear Jack Thompson getting an erection
  • haentz, on 10/17/2007, -9/+381"Legal Psychological Assistance Mikhail Vinogradov, children who are banned from using their computers could easily resort to suicide, since they do not realise the consequences of taking the extreme step."

    WTF? Is he stupid or what?
  • inactive, on 11/06/2007, -30/+308What will Jack Thompson think!?!

  • Dylan47, on 10/14/2007, -11/+250Did he drop any good loot?
  • mpn401, on 10/17/2007, -21/+255OMG

  • leetleo, on 10/17/2007, -20/+228Now that's what I call a hardcore gamer!
  • Beetlesweb, on 10/17/2007, -13/+198Game over. Should have used the walkthrough.
  • ChronicColonic, on 10/14/2007, -8/+185"No one ever makes the first jump."
    "Yeah, but what if he does?"

    I guess he wasn't The One.
  • sakuraz, on 10/14/2007, -9/+186Maybe he just pressed F10 by accident.
  • Gardimus, on 10/14/2007, -12/+167He probably thought he was on a low gravity server
  • rikwakefield, on 10/12/2007, -3/+133He'd better let us play or we'll all commit mass suicide!
  • 1337Einstein, on 10/12/2007, -7/+135Jack Thompson thinks?
  • HypoLuxa, on 10/17/2007, -4/+130obviously this kid had other issues than just not being able to play a video game...seriously, what 10 year old thinks about killing him/herself?
  • insinuate, on 10/14/2007, -4/+128PRESS 9!! PRESS 9!!!
  • tehpyro, on 10/17/2007, -1/+118He probably wanted to prove something to his parents... and "I'll show them they'll be sorry they ever did this to me attitude" too bad he didn't realize what he was giving up...
  • TheDreadDiggerD, on 10/17/2007, -9/+113He was a gamer, so he wouldn't have been in the gene pool either way.
  • flashingcurser, on 10/17/2007, -6/+101Let me take a wild guess: bi-polar. (1 in 5 REAL pi-polar children kill themselves)

    Very sad, very sad. Condolences to the parents.
  • mascot4hire, on 10/17/2007, -4/+99***** you I do what I want.

  • unitedstatians, on 10/17/2007, -4/+73Really sad, but this bird didn't survive. I think it's pushing it a bit to say he committed suicide because of video games, when a mental illness is the problem. If a person is unable to stop himself from playing a game and think about reality....
  • norman619, on 10/17/2007, -0/+66He's doing what's expected. Making lame excuses even if they don't make any sense.
  • denmmurray, on 10/17/2007, -3/+66You can bet money that people are going to use this for fuel that videogames should be banned or whatever the latest thing is...
  • iluvatar, on 10/17/2007, -4/+63someone needs to come up with a new Godwin's Law for this sort of post.
