Video game argument ends in Samurai attack
Category: Industry, Posted: 12/13/2007 at 03:20PM CST by Frank Ling, Editorial Director
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.

This is amazing
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!"
LOL
When you hear JSanchez69 screaming over XBL that he'll kill your mother, know this: JSanchez69 don't f'k around, hermano.
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_.
Thats Fresno for you...
I was really hoping that there was actually a samurai hiding and he jumped out at the arguers!
Lol goatlinks.
Whenever i need to pull out a good threat on an argument is say very calmly
"Bullets go faster then you can run"
and i win.
