Teen Strangles Father with Gamepad Cable

A 18-year-old was arrested this week after trying to kill his father strangling him with the cable of his videoconsole gamepad. While the videogame console brand hasn't been disclosed yet, the police have been able to establish the circumstances that lead to the almost surrealistic (but strangely understandable) murder attempt:

According to the police, the teenager was playing intensely with a game at the time of the event. The father, who warned him several times to stop playing, went into the room to demand that he turn off the videoconsole. The son ignored the father's orders and kept playing trying to finish his game. As a response, the angry paterfamilias unplugged the power cable, making the son lose his progress in the game.

At that point, the son furiously jumped off the sofa and, angered by the fact that he lost all his game progress tried to strangle his father with the cable of the gamepad, almost achieving it. Fortunately, the wife heard the struggle and helped his husband to break from his agressor. After that, the police and emergency medical teams arrived to the scene, taking the father to the hospital. A few minutes after this, the police arrested the son in a nearby street in Bilbao, the spanish city where the events occurred earlier this week.

The son is now under custody and going to be judged for a domestic violence crime. Now, while I don't approve of his reaction, I have to confess that sometimes I have felt an intense desire to smack someone because of similar reasons, being losing my progress in a long game or a document. I don't care if it happens because someone steps over the power cable or a general electric failure, but I have to say that I have crashed more than one gamepad and mouse against the wall. What about you?

Just something else for Jack Thompson or Hilary Clinton to complain about. Really, it seems the kid flipped his lid.

Did anyone suddenly think of an Airplane!-esqe scene where a child flips a lid off a can onto the table, or was that just me? :lol:

Yeah I can understand the rage, not so much the carrying through with it though. I was playing Mario Galaxy last night (one star to go, hardest of the entire game yo), couldn't get it and it was like the game was working against me so I threw the Wiimote at the ground and started cursing, yelling, making a fuss. If someone came in for apparently no reason, turned off a game I was playing when I had nearly completed it then I don't know what I'd do. I'M AN ANIMAL! RAWR!

Seriously though, who does that anyway? Is this at all unexpected? I mean, if I walked into a football game with a few seconds on the clock and intercepted the ball just before it made it through the goalposts so that the team lost, then walked off the field with a smug look, would I not expect to be beaten up by the team members?

I'm not condoning the behaviour, but I can understand why the kid did it. But he should know better! Naughty boy.

i can't disagree with that point, at all. one of the most annoying things that can happen is to be in a long game, only to have someone screw up the game for you. happened to me countless times. drove me up the wall, each time.


on several occassions, i'd have the urge to smack someone upside the head over it. never acted on it, but the urge would still be there. much like anyone else here, it's all a matter of controlling those urges to hit people for screwing shit up like that.

Good thing most of the controllers on the new consoles lack wires.
