Stabbed in the motherfucking Brain?! Is he high?! Why the hell would anyone do that?!

That is actually pretty horrifying. I mean sure, cheating is wrong, but to get into an ACTUAL physical fight over it? I am shocked.

Who in their right mind cheats at a LAN center? I've seen fights break out over this back in the day, amazed that CS still carries such weight and that people are still so serious about it.

Who the hell brings a knife that big into a damn internet cafe :|

Fuuck, well at least hes okay. But seriously, thats fucked up.

This is painfully ironic

"Games don't cause violence!"

case and point^

It could have been worse... someone could have thrown a computer monitor or two at his head while yelling "Haaaaax!"

Well he was cheating, he is fault himself, certanly somebody warn him not to do that.

In China, Counter-Strike is Serious Business.

And we thought VAC was painful. . .

Thats horrible. I feel really bad for the poor kid.

He probably had it with him so he could run faster. I don't like cheats but I've never met a cheat who is worth going to prison for.

Was I the only one who sniggered when he read Wang Ba?

Damn, overreacting much? Who realistically brings a knife that big to a LAN cafe? At least he is still alive... And damn lucky!

Erm... a knife? In an internet cafe? Were they serving lemon drizzle cake?

Holy crap, that's a terrifying x-ray. On the more serious note. I feel sorry for the kid and my heart goes out to him and his family. Hope he gets better. Finally, over-reaction much?

That's reassuring that his motor centers are okay, but what about the rest of him? I'd be curious to know if he had long-term personality changes (sort of like Phineas Gage's encounter with a railroad spike). Youch!

I can just see the media somehow making this games fault.

Oh well...

Although it must be painful, it looks like a great halloween accessory.

I can't help wondering how the hell you get the force necessary to shove a rusty knife blade THROUGH SOMEONE'S SKULL and through his brain and into the other side of his skull. WTF? What CounterStrike addict has this much upper body strength?

That's pretty gruesome, and whilst I could understand perhapes hitting the kid, a heafty meat knife to the cerebellum is NOT the way to resolve unsporting behaviour

But another thing:

John Funk:
The internet cafe in question was reportedly popular amongst youth for not requiring ID, something that is common as China's internet laws grow increasingly draconian.

Where's the "Grow" and "Increasing" in the draconian-ness of Chinese legislation? It's already running at 110% for crip's sake! You think China was all full of liberalness and easy-going lawmen in the Cultural Revolution?

I'm teasing you, John, I'm not genuinely being snarky. I'd put a tounge-out smiley face at the end to show this, but DAMNIT I have SOME class

Don't let Ubi see this, multi-install DRM consequences?

OT: Let's be honest, we've all wanted to biff someone who's using hax or mods in a friendly competition. This may be a wee bit of overkill, but the motive makes sense.

Wow, this kind of BS is inexcusable. I mean, he should have been punished for hacking, such as being kicked or banned, but physical violence? Really? Michael Atkinson finally retired and Johnson was disbarred, lets not start proving them right.

Oh for god sake, don't let FOX hear about this!

'What's that, Vanguard?'

NOTHING FOX

"And what did we learn?"

"Don't cheat in videogames."

"Or?"

"Or someone is going to take offence and shove a rusty knife in your brains."

"Very good."

Hey, at least the kid didn't get t-bagged afterwards.

IamQ:
Stabbed in the motherfucking Brain?! Is he high?! Why the hell would anyone do that?!

Yeah! He should have stabbed the guy in the chest, not the brain!

Wow, thats insane.

I mean sure, I've wanted to do that exact same thing to people who cheat, but that doesn't mean I would actually do it.

I want to do lots of things, but that doesn't mean I will actually do them.

We should outlaw knives.

I can't say I feel sorry for him. Had the guy not cheated, I would. Too bad he cheated and brought it upon himself. Yeah, it's an overreaction. Kid shouldn't cheat. At anything.

Wow. And I thought people who rage quit were taking things too seriously. Stabbing dudes in the skull is OK as long as the knives and heads are made of pixels, but not if it's real flesh and metal we're talking about.

Distorted Stu:

Yeah, and I'm also wondering about how they got it in there without anyone noticing.
"But sir, it's for slicing tomatoes for my sandwiches! I swear!"

I'm curious about why there was a knife there at all, let alone a rusty one.

Maybe the whole story is a complete misinterpretation, or misrepresentation. I don't see any named witnesses, except the doctors, who saw the aftermath.

Maybe this kid had enemies.

Well you could argue that this is no different to an argument breaking out over anything else competitive.

I wonder how many people are stabbed over arguments in "casual" football matches in back-fields.

What the-? omgwtf hax!

you cant headshot with the knife! you cant even make a one hit kill unless it was from behind, and that knife is in the side of the head! Stabber should be banned from life for using lifehax omfgnoob

I laughed. That's about it. I'm not a bad person I swear!

The media can't say much about this, lets face it, China's pretty messed up.

I can't say I'm surprised but since he's still alive the attackers have a slight moral high ground... Cheating is WRONG. And hacking is ILLEGAL.

I was joking about the first part of that second paragraph, but on a more serious note I hope the hacker's learned his lesson and makes a good recovery.
