Boy accidently kills himself trying to imitate Halo

http://www.gamegrep.com/news/13045-boy_accidently_kills_himself_trying_to_imitate_halo/

This is quite sad to be honest, in more way than one.

Another alleged videogame related death. This time involving the popular Xbox shooter Halo. 11 year old Johnson Creek boy Nimm was apparently a big fan of Halo, even taking a liking to firearms after playing the futuristic FPS. While at home skipping school Nimm was apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child). However he did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber even when the magazine ejected and was found shot through the head yesterday.

Let's just go through his a bit yeah?

from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child)

Can someone please tell me as to why his parents are letting this 11 year old play with a .22 caliber rifle? Because that in itself is just a tad dangerous.

did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber

What? Again, why has this kid got a .22? Loaded even!? Are his parents on drugs?


On a different note though, this is quite sad, and I send my sympathy to the parents, even if they did their 11 year old kid play with a loaded gun.

Project Reality- The journey of a marksman.

So this morning, I thought I might play some Project Reality (for those who don't know what it is, it's a modification for Battlefield 2, go to www.realitymod.com for more info). Now, I have heard some people don't like the new update for it, saying it's impossible to hit anything, and whatnot, but I totally disagree.

I played as a marksman on the map Road to Kyongan'Ni, on the skirmish mode (smaller map, made for 10v10 scrims. All I did was sit back in the trees, not moving, only looking around for enemies, and they were flooding in 1 area, it was a field day for me, there was 3 people running in, got 2 of them and I watched their bodies fall over as my bullet whacked them hard, but I lost sight of the third guy, who I found walking toward where I was (I presume in an attempt to kill me), he was a easy target as he was headed straight for me, so when my bullet hit, he just fell backwards.

I thought "why are people saying it's hard to hit people"? Vecause i was getting kills left, right and center.

I fell the develeopers of PR have hit a good note, but the wrong chord, because it doesn't appeal to most of the other older players of PR, but still very, very good.
