Video game argument ends in Samurai attack

samurai warrior A gamer in Fresno, California decided that an argument with his friend needed to be bumped up to the next level by attacking his buddy with a Samurai sword.

Jim Sanchez was booked into the county jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and mayhem, according to the Fresno Bee. The roommate--and human pin cushion--Christopher Torrez [22] incurred a stab wound to his left leg and lacerations to his right hand in the altercation. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. His injuries were described as "not life-threatening."

Sgt. Rudy Tafoya of the Fresno Police department said that the incident started when Sanchez and Torrez got into an argument over a video game. Torrez started to leave the apartment when Sanchez decided to do a little slice and dice on his friend--or should we say, former friend.

No specifics were released on what the argument was about, but we're pretty sure it wasn't over the PS3 game, Lair.

I guess console wars get a lot more interesting when they are face to face instead of over the inter-tubes!

I think it was over Ninja Gaiden.

PS3 dude: "We got the best NG everz!"
360 dude: "Yea, but it was a remake of a few year old XBOX game"
PS3 dude: "Sooooo, it roxorz!!"
360 dude: "Yea, but did you hear the news that the new NG is coming out for the 360 only, and it's actually a new game instead of pretty graphics on an old game"
PS3 dude: "Wha...."
360 dude: "Sorry dude...."
PS3 dude: "DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, I will haxorz you arse!"

I'm suddenly afraid of debating things with my friends, because I usually somehow come out on top, and they mostly have swords and the like...

Remember kids never argue with someone without your armour and sword ready. Ninjas and Ronin are _everywhere_.
