Loli battle is cancelled. I’m off to rehab for a long, long time.

After being clean for almost a whole year I couldn’t resist it any longer. I needed a quick fix to relieve all the stress. You see, I had two exams last week so I’ve been studying and cramming like crazy for what feels like forever.

I’m not proud of it, but I have to admit that I have an addiction and that I’ve spent a ridiculously large amount of money and time on my addiction. For god’s sake, I have three copies of Pokemon D/P! Two Japanese and one American. I finally finished my American copy and can now transfer my old and new Pokemons to it.

Total playtime this weekend: ~20h.

STAR WARS IN SOUL CALIBUR IV

Soul Calibur and Star Wars fans gather ’round — while haters grab a six pack of Haterade and their always-ready flamethrowers — because Namco Bandai has finally released new info on the rumored secret characters set to appear in their highly-anticipated fighter, Soul Calibur IV, and 1UP has ‘em first. In case you don’t believe your eyes as they scan over these screenshots, you are indeed seeing the legendary purveyor of the Dark Side, Darth Vader, and his Force-wielding nemesis, Yoda.

Is it April already? In any case, I’m getting it for the silicon breasts and lips.

Colorado Teens Accused of Killing 7-Year-Old Girl With ‘Mortal Kombat’ Game Moves

JOHNSTOWN, Colorado — Two teens have been charged with killing the 7-year-old sister of one of them by beating her with imitations of moves from the “Mortal Kombat” video game, prosecutors said.

Lamar Roberts, 17, and Heather Trujillo, 16, were charged as adults on one count each of felony child abuse causing death, state prosecutor Robert Miller said in court documents released Wednesday and filed a day earlier.

According to a police affidavit, the teens were baby-sitting Trujillo’s half-sister, Zoe Garcia, on Dec. 6 while the girl’s mother was at work. Zoe lost consciousness and stopped breathing after the teens hit, kicked and body-slammed her, imitating moves used in the video game, the document said.

Trujillo and Roberts tried reviving the girl by putting her under running water and attempting CPR before they called her mother and paramedics, the affidavits stated. The girl died at a hospital.

An autopsy showed she had a broken wrist, more than 20 bruises, swelling of the brain, and bleeding in her neck muscles and under her spine, the affidavits said.

There were no listed phone numbers in the Weld County directory for either Roberts’ mother, Linda Clark, or Trujillo’s, Dana Trujillo. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Margie Martinez said late Wednesday that she did not know whether either teen had an attorney. The teens were being held at the Weld County jail but were not permitted to accept phone calls, Martinez said.

Roberts said he was downstairs playing video games while the sisters wrestled upstairs, police said. But a witness quoted in the affidavit said Roberts told her he had kicked the girl.

The witness told police that Roberts said Zoe had told them to stop wrestling. According to the affidavit, when the witness asked why they didn’t stop, he responded, “I don’t know; I was drunk.”

If convicted, the teens could be sentenced to 48 years in prison.

Video games clouded their judgement, not alcohol. Reading the article, I’m not even sure whether it is sensationalist bullshit or simply police stupidity or prosecuter attention whoring any longer.

Moscow: 10-yr-old commits suicide after parental ban on computer games

A 10-year-old school boy committed suicide by jumping from his 19th floor apartment here after his parents banned him from playing computer games.

Andrei Smirnov, a class three student, jumped to his death yesterday after receiving the wrath of his parents due to bad conduct in school and a poor performance in studies.

The boy’s class teacher had written remarks about his bad conduct in the school diary which he had tried to erase to escape the wrath of his parents, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid.

Angered by the teacher’s remarks and their son’s attempt to deceive them, Andrei’s parents banned him from playing games on his computer.

Local experts here have expressed concern over the unhealthy dependence of children on computers.

According to Director of Centre for Legal Psychological Assistance Mikhail Vinogradov, children who are banned from using their computers could easily resort to suicide, since they do not realise the consequences of taking the extreme step.

What a drama queen.
