This happened in the same neighbourhood where I live.
And to think I'm having a hard time trying to find people to play PnP DnD around here...

*shakes fist*
Anyway, I just read the newspaper and it seems that it's been reported all over the place. It's still stupid, though.

bansama: How about a law banning idiots ?

Namur: Fixed.

Umm, who would pump my gas and get my orders wrong at restaurants? Society, as we know it, would collapse without mouth-breathers. I suppose we could just keep them in a subterranean city. Or we could stand up to wave after wave of legislation that is eroding education.
Vote now!

I would go with the second option...even if the first option sometimes looks rather tempting...

michaelleung: So the main story is that there were these teens who were fans of a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayers#Games]really really really old game and they were planning to kill themselves in a pact... to... get this, "to become `slayers' who would kill demons in a World War III."
Un. Freaking. Believable.
So after two of these geniuses jumped out, the remaining guys had common sense kick in and decided not to jump out of a building to do crazy stuff in the afterlife. Cue law to ban "violent" video games in multiple countries in about three months, depending on how long it takes to get a law passed these days.
I think that violent video games have been taken too seriously as of late, and I mean more than usual. I'll let this thread evolve (devolve?) into a thread about video games and law. Or not.

I cant help but think that idiots like that shouldent be alive in the first place?
Reminds me of the World of fricking idiots, sorry World of WARCRAFT players that jumped out of a building in order to be with there WoW gods.
We DO NOT need those sort of people sucking up our air, the way the world is headed we are going to NEED that air!

Well, I'd say something nasty about Singaporeans but this is an international forum and we need to set out differences aside.
But OK, if you want a comment, I went to Sentosa once. It was nice.

I might just agree with you, you know ;)
But I appreciate you holding back on the comments. After all, GOG is way above that level.

Prator: ...Somehow, I just don't feel inclined to see this waste of human life as an actual "loss."

neither do i , you gotta love darwin's law.
They should put a minimum IQ value on the retail boxes.
You need min 90 to be able to understand the game.
Suicide is not a skill.
Anyway , hope those guys didn't sign up for *smack the penguin* and reincarnate as the penguin for eternity :p

A while back, some guy decided to hijack a plane because the Trinity told him to...
I suspect stuff like this has more to do with a potentially fatal lack of comprehension of reality, than the particular bit of fiction inspiration happens to be drawn from. Darwin awards may be fun, but I haver a feeling education is the better choice.
