Teen kills brother over who's next

This past Sunday a 13 yr old fatally stabbed his 16 yr old brother over who was next when playing a video game. He stabbed him twice, puncturing the lung and heart of the 16 yr old.

"I don't believe the actual game itself was the cause of it. I don't believe they were acting out in any way or mimicking anything in a video game. I believe it was actual use of the game and whose turn it was," said Lansdowne Police Chief Daniel Kortan.

Hopefully news outlets and cable shows like Nancy Grace don't pick this up, as they will hammer how violent video games are destroying our youth, even though it probably had nothing to do with it.

I think I figured out what game they were playing: Zelda.

If you called next and your brother decided to play it for another 2 weeks straight instead, I think you'd stab him too.

Am I the only one that thinks sharing game systems is a little weird? It seems like that's a good way to make your kids hate video games, but why even buy them the damn things then?

That seems like a pretty awesome goal, really.

Must be a heck of a game if people are killing each other to play it. They should work this story into their advertisements.
