Taken from : Games Radar - XBOX 360 news - Halo 3 - A warning to mothers everywhere (http://cheatplanet.gamesradar.com/us/xbox360/game/news/article.jsp?sectionId=1006&articleId=200711011241849008&releaseId=2005000000000000000350)


Nov 1, 2007
A 'juvenile' lover of Halo 3 has been accused of punching his mother (after she forced him to end his game) and fighting with sheriff's deputies as they tried to restrain him. Further reports that he attacked his mother and police with a 360 controller melee-style attack have yet to be confirmed. And won't be. We made that bit up.
Parents told deputies their son was playing Halo 3, and it was getting late and he needed to shut it off. Hey, we've all been there. But when he refused to turn it off, the parents reportedly (http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2007/oct/31/halo-3-player-punches-mother-after-video-game-take/) took the air card* out of his machine so he couldn't play anymore.
Son then became enraged like a Brute that's lost his armour and went through the house looking for the air card. It was during this moment of him running riot when he punched his mother, and the cops were called. The kid then legged it back to his room (with the air card), locked the door and carried on playing.
Deputies and mum banged on the door but only got a load of abuse hurled back at them. Like when you actually play Halo 3 on Xbox Live.
Eventually he was cuffed and turned over to state juvenile authorities on charges of battery-domestic violence and battery on a law-enforcement officer. Let that be a lesson to you.
*By the way, if anyone knows what an 'air card' is please let us know. Unless it's Spanish for CD?

he attacked his mother and police with a 360 controller melee-style attackLOL

LOL


It didn't multi quote, lame. but lol@your post.





and ROFL At the writers of this article......terrible!

Now thats an addiction. Next thing you know he'll be on the street sucking **** for 5 minutes of play time.

wow some kids takes video games way to seriously. what its like a loss of 1 expierence point to quit a game? big whoop. i wouldnt hit my own mother in the face over a dumb game. but thats a good question. what is an air card? lol

Oh what I have to look forward to. Son's getting a Xbox for Christmas, lol.

If my kid did that I'd put him through a wall.

Hitting your mother, who probably bought the damn xbox in the first place, is just low.

Halo isn't good enough for that... Now maybe I would be more understanding if he was playing Orange Box and slapped someone with the keyboard lol.

Wats the aircard..?


Something like a memory card?

Although that is pretty funny, I think its funnier that you consider Orange Box a better game. What are they giving you the last 3 games they made and one new one?

An aircard is what he is using to contect to the internet. Verizon, Sprint, ... I use mine on the road, it tends to be a bit slow though and I am surprise it has the speed to play an online game....

I think this whole story is made up.In a word? Fiction. I bought all my kids systems of their choice,spoiling them on my part.What I find odd is a child willing to punch his mother over a game.
All 3 of my kids are *gamers* anyone familiar with this term , sees where I am going.
Emotions run high in a game and spills over into real life.
Could it happen?
Gimme a break.
Yes,but did it? Not as likely.

that kid has problems, how could you get soo worked up over a game to hit your mother, its quite frankly just sad.

Now thats an addiction. Next thing you know he'll be on the street sucking **** for 5 minutes of play time.

This is what the next generation it coming to, sad but true.

^LMAO! I don't think that comment was meant to be taken literally. Do you really believe that to be true? My god, your hilarious!

I once punched a five year old cause he wouldnt let me play his GBA.

Something tells me you were probably five as well at the time...wait...did they have Game Boy Advance at that age??

sounds much like that kid on vent whos parents were trying to stop him from playing wow because he had to get up early. He told his dad to "stop manhandling me"

Hey, this is no laughing matter, it's how my mother died.
