I got some pretty mad inspiration from a wave of recent crimes that have some connection to games. I find them to be truly appalling yet funny at the same time, thinking that these guys should get the death penalty at least. If you guys find any more of these idiotic news stories, post em here. Maybe I'll update the OP if the mods allow the thread to stay alive :P.
