“Waukesha Police are recommending charges after two brothers, both in their 30’s, wound up choking and then stabbing and cutting each other. What’s more, police say the two did that while fighting over a Playstation 2 video game controller.
It happened Sunday at a home on Whiterock Avenue. According to Waukesha Police, the brothers got into a fight over whose turn it was to play the game.
The fight escalated into one of the brother’s choking the other. The brother who was being choked then pulled out a knife and cut his brother’s hands. The brother who was doing the choking then grabbed the knife and stabbed his brother in the chest. He then fled the scene.
The brother who fled walked to the hospital, which led him to suffer severely frostbitten fingers.
Police say none of the injuries was life threatening.”
First off, WTF? Have we as a culture learned nothing from games such as Rock Band and Wii Bowling? I mean, I understand wanting to bitchslap your opponent when playing a game like Madden and in extreme situations, a slight physical altercation may ensue. But these two 30-year-old dumbshits only had one controller. The fact of the matter is, it was a fucking PS2! IMHO, there is no game worth stabbing my own brother over, and certainly not for some PS2 title. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some situations that I would find it perfectly alright to go ape-shit on someone. For example, if my friend and I were playing Gears of War 2 and on Wave 50 in Horde mode, and some douchebag decided to unplug the 360 before we saved it. In the rare event that something such as that were to occur, I would probably feel justified in repeatedly kicking them in the balls for an hour or two. Anyways, if they had actually killed eachother, chances are that the world would probably be better off.
