13 year old kills self while roleplaying a video game.
I'm too lazy to link it, but you probably don't care if you didn't read it already on /. or the BBC or CNN today. Anyways, there's not much detail on what happened so much as the kid apparently fell to his death and the parents blame World of Warcraft for it.
A buddy linked the story to me at work and I replied to him:
"Yeah, one of the new guys here is a big WoW gamer too. He jumped in front of a car thinking that he'd be okay as long as he was in Defense Stance with Shield Wall activated.
The paramedics said that he still had a few seconds left on his cooldown timer."
I'm such a nerd.
