RaNkeri Somehow I still feel sorry for the kid :/

AlliSabbah Wow I think that article is on to something. Everyone should take video games and say everything that happens is due to them.

Man learns to jump over barrels thanks to Donkey Kong.....

Simon Allizaban was working in his local brewery when the support straps holding kegs of booze waiting for shipment broke.

"As I saw them rolling towards me all I could think of was.. What would mario do?"

He proceeded to leap over the barrels and miraculously survived. All due to playing Donkey Kong in his youth.

Harvey Wienburg was not so lucky as he never played video games. His funeral will be held on Monday.

Dr. Boogie It's nice to see a laughably flimsy connection being used in a pro-video game article for once.

Boy Survives Moose Attack Thanks To World Of Warcraft

By Earnest Cavalli December 06, 2007 | 2:07:28 PMCategories: MMO Gaming

Hans Jørgen Olsen, a 12-year-old Norwegian boy, recently survived a moose attack by feigning death, "just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft."

In WoW, "feign death" is a skill acquired by hunters at level 30 that allows them to take a page from the possum playbook, collapse to the ground, and convince their enemies -- who lose all ingrained animosity in the process -- that they've died.

According to Norwegian site Nettavisen , Hans and his sister apparently enraged one of the local moose (mooses? meese?) during a walk in the forest near their home. After shouting at the gigantic creature to ward it away from his sister, Olsen dropped to the ground, and presumably his lifebar plummeted to zero.

Moose have never been known as the wisest creature in the forest, and the boy's show of necrosis seems to have worked, as both he and his sister survived intact.

It's easy to decry video games as a menace to society but in a world where MMOs save adorable, tow-headed Norwegian children from a deadly moose, can they really be that bad?
