Teen Stangles Father with Gamepad Cable

Just read this on Giz:  http://gizmodo.com/343186/teen-strangles-father-with-gamepad-cable


Scary kid.  Another reason I don't want to play with timmies.  I just don't want to be a part of some kid breaking down like this.  I know of other people that simply leave rooms when there are kids in them.  We have all been angry when the game crashes or somebody kills the power without a save.  But young people (I guess even 18yo kids) don't always have the faculties to manage the stress.  I spend enough time with my own kids such that by the time you see me on my xbox, my desire to parent is all dried up.  Hat's off to the dad that pulled the plug.  It was obviously warranted as the guy was obsessing.

My kid has had wireless from day two. On day one he swung it around his head like a lasso and nearly brained me!

Controlles are the least of my worries, I have knives, swords, bow and arrows.
