Apr 29 2009Man Kills Friend In XBox Fueled Fight

xbox slaying.jpg

In a serious act of good sportsmanship fail, some guy killed some other guy because the one dude (the dead one) kept beating him at Call of Duty (and yes, I am the L337 journalist). And no, that picture has nothing to do with the story besides the chicks happen to be XBox girls. I just thought it might lighten up the mood a little bit. Like mood lighting, but with boobs. Mood boobs.

Joseph Johnson, aged 28, from Chicago, is facing first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing a man while they played games together on an Xbox 360.


Johnson and Danny Taylor, aged 24, were allegedly playing video games at an apartment when tension escalated and they got into a fight. This led to Johnson allegedly shooting Taylor in the back of the head.

Jesus. Sure, I've thrown my fair share of controllers, and maybe one time I beat my brother in the head pretty badly with a Game Boy -- but actually killing somebody over a video game? That's crossing the line. THIS AIN'T NO GAME, SON, THIS IS REAL LIFE!

R.I.P. Danny.

I swear I've seen her in porn before

Video games are a scourge

More pictures of that hot A$$

what?! ....oh! There's a blog here too guys...

@4 don't you mean "I've seen her in porn".. otherways you would be implying that this above picture is porn..

Just saying =P

Timbo it's GWs fault for posting the chick, has me thinking about porn instead of the story.

@8 sounded just fine the way it was, but since your correction detector is on high today then I stand corrected minus implying the picture was porn

I SURE HOPE THERE IS MORE TO THIS STORY. LIKE WHILE KICKING HIS ASS IN CALL OF DUTY THE GUY ADMITTED HE WAS SCREWING THE OTHER GUYS GIRLFREIND, MOM AND SISTER IN A THREESOME ON HIS FATHERS GRAVE, THAN HE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED...

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/04/man-charged-in-killing-during-xbox-session.html

So Sad. The vic's girlfriend left a pretty sad message. On a side note, I'm suprised naas didn't submit this story. Isn't this in your neck of the woods?

this whole story is an epic FAIL

This happened in deltona florida except it was 6 people killed over an x box.

Did he respawn?

only in america will someone resort to shooting someone else over a videogame, i mean seriously how stupid are you all?

@ 14

yes but the respawn point was shit.ty, like usual, so he ended up getting killed again

Maybe he thought he was on WCG Ultimate Gamer.

Pew pew pew!!!!

@15

Yes, because this only happens in the US. Retard. Do some research before spouting off your ignorant bullshit.

@15 You wanna play some Call of Duty??

I, too, have seen the Red during Halo mutliplayer... but I was always able to reel it in...

You haven't seen anything until you've seen Macho Man Randy Savage take a bong rip of salvia... AND FREAK OUT:

http://www.digitalfuntown.com/videos/166

i wonder if he teabagged him after....

Oh s h i t, don't let Jack Thompson hear of this one

this sort of thing only happens in america really, its very rare indeed to find someone outside of the US who does something this stupid over a game. another example from comment 13.

Also you americans seem to be obsessed with solving problems through violence, its not the way.... proof @19

and another thing, your fat

IF YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE, YOU DIE IN THE GAME

@15, yeah, as opposed to other countries that have people killing other people because their god has a different name than their god.

@23. It sounds a little like your'e jealous. You really want to be able to come over and play with guns and eat tasty food. I'm guessing your'e from England. Am I right?

@20. I'd go check out your video if you tell me what the fůċķ SALVIA is first.

if you are talking about the war thats going on in israel, may i point out that the war the AMERICANS STARTED in iraq has killed far more. this may be due to the fact that one go just wasnt enough.....

and @26 why the hell would i want to eat the disgusting food you have over there and then play war with you, the skidmark on the underpants of the world?

also your inbred

Meatykid, we as Americans may have flaws and made some mistakes, but at least we KNOW HOW TO SPELL!!!

I mean how illiterate are all you foreigners?

lol @ meatykid are you naked right now staring at your inverted penis wondering if you'd eat a krispy kream donut if it would buldge that lil fk'er out?

@24 I LOL'ed but felt bad about it.

Also "your"~~~~"you're", taste the rainbow!

this reminds me of the time i was playing "crystal's pony tale" on the old sega genesis (emulator for dreamcast) and i couldn't find a piece of the crystal, so i went over to my neighbors house dressed as santa and killed a bunch of people before burning the place down. man that is a hard game.
also, salvia is a plant related to basil that is legal in the u.s. (for now) and actually gets you high. crazy, i know, but it's true.

so you are comparing the worst country in the world to a few speling and grammer mistakes, way to go *slow clap*

also your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

Thanks for the ref shum. The south side isn't exactly my neck of the woods but it's in good ol chicago. People are killed here everyday, but this one being over gaming is a serious wtf.

I don't want to make an insensitive joke suggesting online gameplay, but when someone you know packs heat & get pissy about losing a shooting game, the writing should be on the wall.

Gaming online might've changed the outcome of this, where the guy going to kill his friend might've had to walk over to his friends house to kill him. On the way over, he could've gotten hungry & stopped for a sandwich - but then changed his mind after enjoying the sandwich because he wasn't upset anymore

meatykid - take your uneducated ignorant political asspinions somewhere else

also, @27 : i'm a fat american who loves chili sauce on his fries (chips), felicity kendal's ass, and watching sky news.
we're all the same, really.
america gets gamer killings, uk gets hoodies stabbing actors.
also, we bailed you out of wwii, don't EVER forget that. you can go make the beds now jeeves.

Oh snap.

1. this is an area anyone can post in
2. i have more intelligence than the entire american population in my little finger
3. you know why people hate americans? your loud, abbrasive, fat, angry, stupid and power crazed

i hope that by reading this you might all band together and donate al the cells in your body to medical research so that you might gain one descent human from that lazy country you all come from.
i would also like to ban you all from using the english language from now on, because it seems to be your goal to butcher it. Seriously, stop it right now...

if it wasnt for the ENGLISH scientists you wouldnt have been able to drop that bomb on hiroshima, your fighter would have not contained an engine, ou wouldnt have a country to defend (it was down to us that you country even got off the ground, something we really regret) and the weapons you used would not have exsisted
so technically we saved you in WW2

@37

*all

That's two L's. Nice job on keeping the English Laguage proper. Dick. Also, this site is American. NOT YOUR A PEON. NOT GAYSIAN. AMERICAN. You have a problem with America, take it up with someone who gives a shit. Like that little faggot, Ando. You two would make great butt buddies. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! stop being dumbass racist and enjoy the hot girl with the xbox!!!!!
btw, @meatykid i dont give a sh"" if you're country is better than ours, so just shut up!

i am taking up my problem with all americans with people who give a shit, by replying to my comments oyu are proving just that

@37

*Capital T on "This", period at the end of a sentence, capital I, capital A on American, another missing period, capital Y, capital Y again, missing period, capital I, misspelling of "all", capital I again, capitol E on English.

@38

*Capital I on "if", missing apostrophe on "wouldn't", capital H on "Hiroshima", misspelling "you", again with "wouldn't", misspelling of "existed", missing a period, capital "S" on "so", missing comma, and missing period.

Don't talk to me about butchering the English language you moron.

@ 41

And even more! Missing capital I, capital A on Americans, misspelling of "you", and missing period.

I can keep going..

Ungreatful British Scum...

Gordon Shumway drinks his own peepee

and still you care... you really are an angry and unhappy country

I'm a fat douchey white kid with glasses and an afro

meatykid why dont you go eat come meatycock

Stupid unAmericans.

To the citizens of the United States of America, in notice of you incompetence and thus having no ability to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II resumes monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.8% of you who have, until now, been unaware theres a world outside your borders) will appoint a Minister for America. Congress and the Senate are disbanded. A questionnaire circulated next year will determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid your transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. Look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Check aluminium in the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you pronounce it. The letter “U” will be reinstated in words such as favour and neighbour. Likewise you will learn to spell doughnut without skipping half the letters. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary.

Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up “interspersed.” There will be no more ‘bleeps’ in the Jerry Springer show. If you’re not old enough to cope with bad language then you should not have chat shows.

2. There is no such thing as “U.S. English.” We’ll let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter ‘u’.

3. You should learn to distinguish English and Australian accents. It really isn’t that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). Scottish dramas such as ‘Taggart’ will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.You must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is “Devon.” If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become “shires” e.g. Texasshire Floridashire, Louisianashire.

4. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out task 1.

5. You should stop playing American “football.” There’s only one kind of football. What you call American “football” is not a very good game. The 2.1% of you aware there is a world outside your borders may have noticed no one else plays “American” football. You should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls.

Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies).

You should stop playing baseball. It’s not reasonable to host an event called the ‘World Series’ for a game which is not played outside of America. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls’ game called “rounders,” which is baseball without fancy team stripe, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

6. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns, or anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because you are not sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you need a permit to carry a vegetable peeler.

7. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday. It will be called “Indecisive Day.”

8. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left. At the same time, you will go metric without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

9. Learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren’t French, they’re Belgian though 97.8% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Potato chips are properly called “crisps.” Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat.

10. The cold tasteless stuff you call beer is actually lager. Only proper British Bitter will be referred to as “beer.” Substances once known as “American Beer” will henceforth be referred to as “Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine,” except for the product of the American Budweiser company which will be called “Weak Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine.” This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.

11. The UK will harmonise petrol prices (or “Gasoline,” as you will be permitted to keep calling it) for those of the former USA, adopting UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon, get used to it).

12. Learn to resolve personal issues without guns, lawyers or therapists. That you need many lawyers and therapists shows you’re not adult enough to be independent. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun.

13. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.

14. Tax collectors from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

Thank you for your co-operation.

Look what you've started GW! We went from a girl in a pron holding an xBox controller to American bashing, to butchering the English language, to correcting people's spelling. Geez! What's next eh!

@ 50 This makes me wish 28 days was a true story... Go hump your queens leg then shove her crown up your, um.... Arse?

this is the second death thats related to COD4 that ive heard, it almost as bad as GTA now

@50

Welcome to Geekologie, n00b. Your are a troll and I will no longer bite.

@50

Hey meatykid...you're apparently not as educated as you think. Tony Blair is no longer the Prime Minister of England. Gordon Brown is the current Prime Minister. Just sayin'

@50

so what's your point?

@ meatykid
don't be an asshole, you're making the rest of us in the UK look like you, which most of us aren't.
I'm one of the rest of the population of the UK who isn't opinionated about subjects that they don't seem to know much about, and we have no problem with the States whatsoever. He's probably a schoolboy who thinks he knows it all 'cause he's heard someone's parents talking about it or something.
As for WW2, it's nothing when the intergalactic robot wars start, then we're all (humans) screwed.

Hey I have that same desk chair. It's not very comfordable, I don't reccomend it.

Ahem, gentlemen...

BOOM! HEADSHOT BITCH!

*Ok, so it was totally dicky to shoot someone. But if you hang out with douchebags, you're probably a pussy.

**Stop with the politcal poison.

I don't get any

@57 it seems like they have gotten to you, please dont use the word asshole...

@59

BOOSH!

@ 50, after posting my last comment I found you'd posted another in the time it took me to write it.
Let me ask, Mr. "Axis" meatykid, as you will now be known,
will you be wanting to get rid of other American culture also? Like: Coke, Xbox, Microsoft in general, Apple, KFC, M'n'M's, most movies, most music, most of the good clothing lines & most of the UK's current fashion sense (though i don't thank you guys for emo's :-P), all the research into stem cells, healthcare, physiology, astronomy and physics among other things, Stargate (it's a franchise of it's own and in my books is not classed as tv, but as awesome), current UK slang (mostly derived from US) and other things that have come from the US?
I realise the list wasn't structured very well but I should be studying for an exam so I won't rewrite

WTF!? Call of Duty isnt even competitive. I would have liked to have seen them playing Halo.

i cannot understand the reason americans think that guns are toys. Until your country learns that guns only start wars not end them, you will not learn how to have a civilised society.

Okay, Meatykid... you got us. Europe (or Britain, as the case may be) is so far superior than The United States... that's the real reason we all left... it was just to great for our weak mentalities to accept.

Oh... and my ancestors died to free your far superior country, so when you speak that we shouldn't be speaking English, just thank an American that your ass isn't speaking German... f*#ktard.

@63 i think you may be a bit misinformed. as it stands the highest contribution to healthcare comes from china, the majority of physics is done in europe and stem cell research is carried out in germany and japan.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx was spun out and flipped over on the last lap of the race, and hopped out of his car and ran across the finish line, just like in the movies.

Meatykid,
I'm notifying John Cleese that you stole his rant. You're not only lame, you're a plagiarist. Well done (slow clap followed by flipping the bird).

@66 it's thanks to us you are not speaking japanese.

and you need to edit speak to say

Also until the english trained the american soldiers you couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag with a hedge strimmer.

@57 : that's right. when the robot wars start, we all better get along pretty well if we hope to stand a chance. One world, united by EMP bomb production.

@70

Funny. You're name url link sends me to an American website. The irony.

@50 - I love you.

@67
I didn't say anything about the quantity of research being carried out, just that it is done there and without the contributions of each nation capable of carrying out scientific studies and America's contribution to these studies, we'd probably be somewhere about 80 years in the past.

Your mom is hot.

this dude is copying your shit.....
http://www.people-buzz.com/2009/04/man-kills-friend-in-xbox-fueled-fight/
Or your copying his!!!!

@ anti-american1...

Dude, everything you said on you last post is incorrect. Obviously, your a rather misinformed individual. Maybe you could use the internet to gain correct knowledge of historical events, instead of spreading misdirected hate.

Oh... and I am a direct English royalty lineage, so is not really your country, it's mine a55hat, and I want it back.

On anther note, this is a tragic story, and I agree that this is moronic

oh... and I can't spell, and the grammar on that last post (of mine) is poor.

just sayin'

@ all of you idiots trying to prove a point about who knows what on a freaking Geekologie post...

...we're all asshats. American, Eurpoean, Black, White...we're all the same and we're all going to end up destroying ourselves if the swine flu or zombies or robots don't end up doing it for us. But for now, I'll give a big WTF to some dude killing some other dude over a video game and also give a high five to GW for posting a pic of a hot gamer chick I can admire for a few minutes...now moving on...

Damn staight up HEAD SHOT SONNN!

Haha, Eurpoean. I can't spell either. Blaming it on the swine flu.

"only in america will someone resort to shooting someone else over a videogame, i mean seriously how stupid are you all?"


Come now. We've got nothing on European post-soccer (excuse me, 'football') game behavior.

I've never seen a fight break out in the US Congress, either. We elect people who save their violence until they get home...

@38 - Only an ignorant european would assume a country that could devise an atomic bomb wouldn't be able to work out a motor for its planes.

Friggin limeys need to go shag some devonshire sheep and get your teeth fixed.

"To the citizens of the United States of America, in notice of you incompetence and thus having no ability to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today."

Would that include our national debt?

Do you want to advise our Chinese creditors of this change of ownership?

What's that?

Yeah,I thought so...

This is what it means to be careful what you wish for.

We're losing the point here. Talking about serious staff. She can play with my controller anytime.

You've all got it wrong - New Zealand is the best because we try to enjoy life instead of comparing dick sizes with other countries on the net.

Wow, meatykid. I really must agree with what the other person said. You are jealous. Jealous that we aren't forced to marry at a young age, like in other countrys. We don't eat dog, like in other countrys. We help other ungrateful countrys in whatever assistance THEY need, possibly we have helped wherever the fck you live. And we don't respond with violence for every little reason, like other countrys do. Pearl harbor, aheemmm. So shut the fck up because whether you may or may have not been here, you aren't a U.S citizen.

Did the guy at least have the last stand perk?

I'm with #40. and I think #85. Just watch the hot girl.

MORE PICS OF BBW GAMERS!

the battle of vimy ridge eh

Should have used martyrdom. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Use your betties.

@86

After posting a comment saying that, welcome to "comparing dick sizes with other countries on the net".

:]

I think that's Glenda Gilson on the left, don't know the name of the girl on the right. Both are Irish models, from South Dublin probably. She now presents tele-bingo or something on RTE (Our national public broadcaster) and isn't all that hot, or maybe you just become jaded by wind tunnel eyebrows if you live in south Dublin.

Back to Britain Bashing though, go on, don't let me stop you.

jesus christ, what the f**k is wrong with humans?

@94 - Come dude, Glenda Gilson is pretty hot! I would! What's wrong with the South Side? It's quite nice from where I'm sitting.

@everyone else - America and England are stupid countries. In fact, on the whole, if you examine the history of any country you will see far more evidence of collective, self-destructive stupidity than intelligence. It's been proven* that if you put enough people in a room, they'll eventually do something stupid.

*by "proven" what I mean is, "I have no evidence whatsoever". But it's still true.

I'd also like to point out to Mr Meaty. For all you can say about America, and there's a lot to say about America, there's really only one other country who got on the invasion bandwagon back in 2001 and that was England, so maybe, you shouldn't exactly be taking the moral high ground.

Now, if you'd all like to go back to flinging abuse at each other please, continue. It's rather entertaining.

we all suck equal amounts, and we will all get probed the same deep when the alien gods return, so fluk being human... im getting drunk

Dude, Glenda Gilson is UGLY. If I see her gaping maw leering out at me from the front page of the Sun once more, I swear I'll rip that eyebrow off

The original girl picture was better. One of those girls has negative A cups.

100th comment

sorry these 2 lst girls pictures are ugly. They look masculine. huhhhhgggg....

Yep, original girl was better. Consider revising.

Since people commented on them...the models are irish models glenda gilson and roberta rowat.


Pity all irish women don't look like them....

Like they say in Unreal Tournament:
First Blood !

i wanna pound the sh1t outta these 2 hotties.

The things that the people on this site have been saying on this site are kind of pointless you have to remember that everyone on this site does not make up the opinions of the UK the U.S japan china and so on the genral population of each place do not hate each other as such except some excptions such as wars and the people posting here are probly nt the greatest and smartest of people most work in jobs where they dont have the luxury of time and cant post their opinion on this matter so intellagence has nothing to do with this and hateing eachother is pointless since we ae in fact allies with britan so whats the point of fighting an ally fighting in genral is actually pretty stupid and the point that was brought up about guns i have nothing to say about since i live in alaska which has 3.5 guns per person so you all have to realise that people do things diffrently and get used to the fact hating people of their speech is just moronic and history is in the history its cool to remember but should not bring up old grudges and debts each country has contributed to the advancement of humanity either in physics medical inventions astronomy or anything else so we should all STOP HATING EACH OTHER AND HATE THE ROBOTS ZOMBIES AND THE ROBOTZOMBIES which are the lesser known advanced dangers and yes you did just read a long run on sentence why do i need to type well for the internet its not a test and your not people i care about no offence. <------ a period thts the most youll get out of me

and then i relised this is an old post sad

Classic dumbass posts

@8: No he doesn't.

this doesn't surprise me one bit...my cousin's and i play call of duty alot and if you suck at the game..it's easier than SHIT to get furious
