Playstation 2 causes two brothers to choke and stab one another

Two brothers living in Waukesha reportedly choked, cut and stabbed each other when they fought over a Playstation 2 video game controller. Waukesha Police are recommending that charges be brought against both brothers who violently acted out of anger.

Dude..

[IllusionRSN]

I know lol

[BrotherNick]

The sad part is that these guys were in their 30s.

[poopface1]

my policy is to stab only for the current gen systems.

edit--- hahaha. apparently I replied to no one and ended up at the top. Darn Im special. hahahah 0.1 WTF is that.

[badz149]

day by day! like...seriously, WTF are these guys thinking? it's just a video game and they are killing each other over it? if they really like to swing & stab, by a Wii! and not to forget...GET A LIFE!

[lordgodalming]

Did the Playstation 2 whisper in their ears or what? No. Take some personal responsibility, for fks sake. The result of their behavior is tragic, but their behavior itself was pure idiocy.

What's next, vomitoriums and live slayings at the colosseum? What is happening to our culture?

[Peter Griffin]

lol sometimes Soul Caliber 2 cant settle it

[CommonSense]

did anyone tell these 2 idiots that you can get a used working ps2 for like 10 bucks? helluva lot cheaper than the hospital bill.

also, if 1 incident of violence per day (which it's not nearly that much) as a result of some gaming is enough to say games are bad. why don't the few million gamers that play each day and don't do harm to others hold any weight?

oh, and if gaming makes you evil, then Richard (stupid N4G won't let you type D!ck) Cheney must play video games non stop.

[Sarcasm]

Poor Brennen and Dale

[da_hitman81]

you obviously didnt read this.

PS i own both systems, so no fanboyism here

On another note this story is crazy. i guess they like PS3 so much.

[drdistracto707]

only you could actually turn this into a fanboy war, this is something serious, and your comment only proves that you have a cold heart

shame on you

[Statix]

Why do idiot fanboys such as yourself have to take everything and turn it into a console-versus-console thing at every opportunity? Get a life.

[ThanatosDMC]

They probably had issues before gaming... and why was there a stabbing knife close by???

[vhero]

the funny thing is people have killed over less people die over pocket change in the streets of America every single day!

[Wile]

You are out of out of bounds my friend, and so are the people who clicked agree on ur post.

[mcm]

This is sad.
I knew Krazy Ken was telling the truth about 4D and I had a feeling that it was in the PS2 as well. Why else would the main CPU be named Emotion Engine.
This 4D stuff is getting out of control, the PS2 was able to control these two brothers minds and force them to hurt each other. Just imagine what the PS3 could do.

I mean this is how the title of the article makes things appear, right?

[thereapersson]

I was one of the people who agreed with him.

Greenterd is f*cking the best satirical troll to come along in a while. And you know what they say...

"Successful troll is succesful."

[prowiew]

Sad thing is that I can see some people here in n4g doing the same against an "enemy console person". I can imagine an n4g reunion in real life and someone saying "360 is selling more than ps3, its the best" "no way" replied the ps3 fan while stabbing him and yelling Aaron Greenburg sucks!.

[swissarmyshank]

Just imagine if it had been a PS3 controller... Would have had a samurai battle.

[IllusionRSN]

You watch, media will get ahold of this and start bashing the games. Where the parents need to be based imho.

[Breakfast]

....but cmon....who the hell plays video games with a knife?

Stupid kids.

[hitthegspot]

I guess more and more people are playing games armed with a knife.

[No FanS Land]

Sony's fault? Care to explain?

EDIT: people disagreed because he couldn't resist to say it was Sony's conspiracy. seriously Breakfast, you're as immature as them, or you're fvcking racist(towards game consoles) because you relentlessly bash one console for no reason at all.

[The Great Melon]

People need to learn that Breakfast is the guy that throws a penny into a crowd and watch everyone fight over something worth very little. Until that happens, I always get a chuckle to see how everyone reacts to his comments.

[Breakfast]

The Great Melon knows the true meaning of life.

@ No Fans Land
How is it not Sonys fault? Quit defending the company, that obviously played a major part in this unfortunate event.

:)

@ Below

Of course i wouldnt blame MS...they were fighting over a controller. But in this case its different. It is Sonys fault.

:D

[No FanS Land]

And would you blame Microsoft if they fought over an Xbox controller? Actually they fought over who's turn it was to play. Seriously give it a rest.

[drdistracto707]

hehe, your pathetic breakfast

if you hold true to your statement then i guess this was all M$'s fault

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

[LebaNoob]

Bubbles to you man.

[Danja]

I still dont get it...come on ppl...Breakfast means no harm...ya'll need to lighten up.XD

[N4360G]

Videogames are to blame LOL,seriously this is beyond pathetic,there just games.

[PoSTedUP]

thats some evil f***ing sh*t man.... /for real...

[LastDaysOfHumanity]

Imagine what the PS3 would do...

[Piece Of Spooge 3]

you would have to replace controller with "which bluray movie"

[eagle21]

Change your name to Piece of Spooge 360.....

Your lame Netflix is downloading to your PC and your 360 is sounding like it's gonna RROD anytime soon. Go play Gears of Broke. :)

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

He can't, he's playing Gaylo 3.

EDIT: Ohhh look, in 1 hour, I'm down from 5 to 2 bubbles, yay. I'm officially killing this account. RIP microsoft_spokesman.

[Piece Of Spooge 3]

lol both of you are morons. your jokes are gay as fvck

[drdistracto707]

well we already found out that the xbox 360 makes kids kill their parents... sooo

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

[GiantEnemyLobster]

These kids were already f*cked up to begin with and I doubt the PlayStation 2 had anything to do with the kids' mentality, it just happened to be the PlayStation 2 that sparked this stupid little brawl between the two. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[drdistracto707]

these ones were f*cked up too if they did this at age 30

[ravinshield]

WHAT A BUNCH OF RETARDS

[Rai]

I read this in kotaku..they aren't kids they are in their 30s

[proArchy]

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly will do anything to promote their new blu-ray!

[XxZxX]

that's why you buy a PS3.
Don't get XBOX 360, you will end up killing your parents instead.

[Downtown boogey]

I always choke ppl when I'm infuriated by the PS family. It's perfectly normal!
(Right? RIGHT?! I KILL YOU!)

[doshey]

thats some messed up crap

[Dunta22]

i bought that bloody knife in the picture for halloween

[Downtown boogey]

I made one of them myself.
My hand still hurts but it's gonna be alright: I used syrup.

[UltimateIdiot911]

These two brothers obviously have some issues before the PS2.

[Aclay]

Hmmm. I wonder what game they were playing when this happened... maybe they were playing God of War and somehow Poseidon's Rage must have gotten transferred from the game to real life, LOL.

But on a serious note, there is no way I would stab someone over a video game controller. Some people just totally overreact these days.

[ezcex]

We should donate and get them wireless controllers so this doesn't happen again. I hate it when controllers go beserk by themselves and go strangling people.

[TIKUP]

This story is yessssss i have to say funny! But atleast no one died this time :)

[lowcarb]

We need the paddle system to return to our school system. Instill in these children right from wrong while there little, and then problem solved.

[JHUX]

I cant help but "lol", especially since they were in there 30's apparently haha!

Oh man, Now it's down to what dangers the ps3 is capable of, we got ps2 turning brothers against other trying to kill each other, then 360 causes kids to kill there parents, I can't imagine what the ps3 is capable of causing lol...

[drdistracto707]

i guess the wii is the only safe console...

unless you get wii knee or accidentally throw your controller at the ceiling only to hit a hanging glass light that inevitably slices your artery as it falls from above... cause that would suck

[ButterToast]

these people would like a word with you . . .

http://www.slipperybrick.co...

[proArchy]

"Video games can sometimes bring friends and family together, this on the other hand also killed these family members."

AND

"Police report that none of the injuries sustained were life threatening."

So which is it?

[proArchy]

No one died. Just one idiot with a medical bill, and another idiot with criminal charges.

[TrevorPhillips]

seriously i had enough with this bullcrap guys dont believe this its all a load of crap just to find a way to ban video games

[aco]

I stooped feeling sorry for people like those Idiot a long time ago...
How empty is there life..

[Parapraxis]

"Stupidity causes two brothers to choke and stab one another"
FIXED.

[gamfreak]

Luckily both survived.

@Sony Defense Farce, bring your fanboyism somewhere else, it an ordeal that no one wants to experience so STFU moron. An IQ lower than 10 would make such a comments.

[drdistracto707]

Whoa there, dont give him too much credit, 10 iq, lol

*cough cough 5 iq only cough cough*

[gamfreak]

*Cough cough 5 IQ cough cough* that's even worse than a NERD....!!!!!
LMAO......!!!!!!

[X-Alchemist]

Without reading the full article...I'm guessing this happened in America...Am I right? T_T

[Bladestar]

ohh wow... that sucks... let's not even joke about this... I feel sorry for the family... how do you deal with raising the murdered and the murder in the same home? crazy...

Let's keep the console flamewars out this... it has nothing to do with the PS2... or any console... it could of had happened over anything.

[xwabbit]

That's crazy man :/

[Eiffel]

Dumbasses

Jack Thompson is going to have a orgasm over this.

[krauley]

"playstations dont kill people, people kill people!" ;)

[vShinobi]

Sad...

[Dusdg]

Natural Selection still takes place with humans today. Maybe there is hope left... ps put an xbox controller in between the two of them and get the job done.

[LinuxGuru]

The PlayStation 2 didn't cause ANYthing. It was those two idiots that caused everything. An inanimate object causes NOTHING.

Stupid title.

[Endless_Echo]

...isn't a Ps2 controller, like 10 bucks, used at a local gamestop?
And isn't a lawyer, like, at least 1000 bucks, logic, anyone?

@ Aaron Greenterd: props to you for being such a good fanboy,
and i've seen many cases involving both the 360, and wii, not just the ps3

and yes, i will use google, i don't mind their ads, in fact they're quite helpful.

[Iceman100]

Whoever posted this on here is a real idiot, because people acting stupid has nothing to do with video games for one thing. 2 dumb ass people stab each other over a control pad? since when are stupid acts like this caused by video games?

[terrandragon]

Too much to buy another controller, eh? This is why raising taxes can be the wrong thing to do when it comes to video games.

[Kevin McCallister]

I don't see the problem here. My brother Buzz has tons of stab wounds inflicted by me because he's always eating all the cheese pizza before I can get a slice. So a stabbing and choking over a PS2 is easily justifiable.

[JonahFalcon]

"Ready.... FIGHT!"

[Zinc]

Blahahaha! Our top stories tonight: Video game console told two brothers to rape each other with knives. Guns compelled someone to shoot someone else with their smooth convincing arguments. Cars run in to each other for fun and profit. Unicorns are thought to be the cause of all wars.

After these commercials, which subsequently, tell our viewing audience to act like retards and commit acts of chicanery, because people are mindless husks, we'll meet up with Mario Vaga xionio Yang Jesus Johnson covering world events from our sister station in Kurflunkastan.

This just in, Obama is the solution to all the worlds problems.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Shadow of the Colossus...

...so worth it.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

At poopface1:

Yeah, I did that earlier. It was weird. The admins should look at that.

[narked]

it didnt actually CAUSE them to fight lol. what is it some supermachine with powers?

sounds like something from Onion news lofl

[Amplitude]

What game were they playing? Seriously, who the hell only has ONE controller anyway? Why wouldn't they just take turns? Unless they were playing Amplitude and only had one controller, I see no reason why attempting to kill the other person is really necessary.

[Magic_The_Celt]

Very sad

anybody who brings up the word "droid" or "xbot" needs some goddamn help and morality

not long ago some kid shot both his parents only one surviving over an Xbox and now this

you idiots are too blind to see this is the Media AGAINST -US- gamers, and your fighting each other

People die every day about everything, people get killed over cars, drugs, women, jewelry it goes on, there just items and dont contribute directly to why it happened, but the Media just LOVES the fact its video game related so they can carry on this campain their evil blah blah blah

and you frickin morons come on here and argue with each other

My god.

[Chriswsm]

I say let the two psycho kids loose on Thompson

[Leio]

Lol the ps2 is surely worth killing for :D

[Dogswithguns]

Stupid.

[BigKev45]

Kane & Able part. 2

[stealthx]

i blame the knife- it shouldnt of been where it was

[moe84]

Again with the stupid people, who shouldn't be playing games to begin with killing themselves articles.

This crap has no place on forums like this. Cesspools that breed dumb f*cks who turn things into fanboy wars, and the like.

At least now people (most of the time they dont) can't blame parenting. These guys were much much older.

Threads like this should be deleted, and the posters forum banned imo.

[borgome]

Put them in jail right now for the rest of their lives, they're going to end up there eventually anyways.

[Aft3rKill]

Parents fault for not coming to scene when the yelling started, and the kids clearly had issues to begin with, who caries knives around in the household? They need to move out of that neighbourhood if they need to defend themselves in the streets, and if so at home they need to phone children's aid.

[yanikins111]

so.....GAY

[yanikins111]

ITS NOT EVEN HI-DEF!!!!!

[silent h3ro]

These two brothers both get Darwin Awards for sheer stupidity. Is it that difficult to have a little patience? Damn...

[Parappa The Rappa]

they've seen Stepbrothers one too many times.

BOATS AND HO'S!
BOATS AND HO'S!
GOTTA HAVE ME SOME BOATS AND HO'S!

[SprayandPreycom]

to video games being a family oriented thing :}

[ade909]

hahaha pmsl good old boys at least the xbox is not worth killing for
ha ha ha ha fked off.

[No Way]

Lol... Wow.
