Our parents were right

A gamer in China was sentenced to life in an actual prison for stabbing and killing another gamer. Qiu Chengwei broke into competitor Zhu Caoyuan's apartment and stabbed the sleeping 26-year old with a presumably non-virtual knife, after Caoyuan had sold Chengwei's virtual sword to an unnamed gamer. The "weapon" in question was a "dragon sabre," used in the popular online game Legend of Mir 3. Upon hearing the verdict, Chengwei was seen frantically hitting the "Reset" button on the Playstation 2 controller he carries with him at all times, to no avail.
