A World of Warcraft obsessive did his demographic a disservice recently by getting involved in a drunken dispute with his mother, grabbing her hair, choking her, and headbutting a wall. Oh, and he also ended up getting shot in the head by his grandfather.

27-year-old James Swan, who lives with his mother (obviously) had been playing WoW and getting drunk before the fight began. Swan's mother demanded that the manchild tone down the noise while he played his game at 10pm, a demand that Swan took umbrage with. Rage of the Gods ensued as the MMO player eventually grabbed his mother by the hair and flung her onto a bed. He also did the same to his little brother, who had arrived to find out what the noise was about.

The mother ran to call the police, but Swan ripped the phone from the wall and proceeded to repeatedly headbutt the the spot where the phone once was. He then began to choke his mother into near-unconsciousness, threatening to kill her, before the grandfather became involved. Swan threatened to kill him too, so the grandfather got his gun. The two men then wrestled over the gun, which went off and shot James Swan in the head. The bullet bounced off his skull and went through a window. Luckily for Swan, he was only wounder, and was arrested after refusing treatment at a hospital.

F*cking hilarious.

Awww, didn't kill him :( News stories need to put how many people died in the title so I know if the story is interesting or not.

The bullet... bounced off his skull?
What the fuck kind of bullet was that? Was it made of flubber?

I'm not happy about WoW being in the story for it has no meaning. This is a story of alcohol abuse, not Warcraft. If he was wanting to read his copy of War & Peace while drinking, but his mom was bitching about that I'm sure a similar event would happen. 

The bullet bounced off his skull? He must have +3 defense. 

That's what I call a good Friday night.

Bastard.  That wall never hurt anybody.

And so close to being able to use the "Did he drop any good loot?" gag.

That did not kill him?  DAMMIT!

How is this funny?  This is just sad.

He just crafted a damn good helm. "

This is as relevant about games as saying that someone who was in a car accident played Burnout that one time years ago.

Probably just a couple pellets from a shotgun blast.

i liked the part where he headbutted the wall
i lol'd

The bullet bounced off his skull? How is that even possible? I mean, first, they are fighting in close quarters over the gun, and then it fires. It should blow his fucking head off!  

This has nothing to do with WoW either.
 
Replace it with, a television or music and you get the same results.
 
Sigh, I hate it when people focus on the specific activity of gaming as if to prove we are all degenerates or something.

Aww come on, the part where he starts headbutting the place on the wall where the phone used to be is pretty fucking hilarious. "

must have been wearing his cap with +10 to bullet resistance.

Buy WoW, get a free gun.... and a copy of guitar hero: van halen.

Damn, to survive a shot to the head like that he must have been a level 80.

He has an adamantium skeleton.  Quick, someone dissect him!

I don't understand how he survived a head shot

why do we keep discussing other people's business/incidents and publishing them? leave the fucking guy alone

I love how it becomes a head line because some crazy fuck was playing WoW at the time.

The only sad thing here is that that piece of shit didn't die. Being drunk is NOT an excuse for trying to kill 3 of your close relatives including your MOTHER. Let's hope he makes some changes in his life, though I seriously doubt it.
 
If my child was still living at home at the age of 27, getting drunk and playing WoW all day, I would kick him the fuck out.

Gramps should have double tapped.

guy should be dead for that.  thats pretty hilarious how the bullet bounced off his skull. haha thats not how bullets are supposed to work

stories like this just... i love them. so much.
