Women Shoots and Kills Fiancé Over His Video Game Addiction

File this one under, deeply, deeply ironic. A Beijing woman shot her fiancé to death after she became fed up with his video game addiction (and apparent joblessness). Sounds like she could have used a little Half Life herself. And they say gamers are violent….
A Beijing woman has been charged with the August 6th murder of her fiancé. The Beijing Morning Post reports that she was fed up with her man for spending “too much time playing online games,” instead of finding a job to pay for their wedding. Source: Joystiq

Maybe if she chilled out with a little GTA San Andreas, she woudln’t be killing in real life.

Sounds to me like she wanted one of those princess for a day weddings so popular in western culture. It wouldn’t have lasted anyway. Hope she finds “Hotel Greybar” more to her liking. It really wasn’t worth it.

Well, at least she done it before they got married and had children, who may have had their father’s zeal for games.

Wow. That IS ironic. She shoulda just been playing World of Warcraft herself, maybe gotten the violence out of her system, eh?

I say good for her. Maybe some of these other jerks will stand up and listien. I am the wife of a game addict who lives in complete denial. His life exists only for the game. I do everything else an adult would do I take care of the family, I work, clean house and do anything that requires responsibility. He like having another child to rasie. he even uses the fact that I don’t play the game to find an online romance with he met her on the game. Killing someone is not right, but being angry is not wrong.
