And one night, the pile of asses turned into a mountain of sphincters as some guy called in a threat on him at 3 am, claiming Tyran had a gun and three hostages in his house. When a confused and irritated Tyran answered the cops, and then tried to go back into the house for something, a cop on scene shot him twice in the face with rubber bullets, causing extensive damage and requiring him to be hospitalized.
Stories of people dying in internet cafes and elsewhere after playing video games for far too long are everywhere. And the length of time these people play their particular games of choice are all over the map, too: three days, fourteen days, one day, the list goes on and is festooned in sadness. However, in my trawling of the internet for your amusement, I found one man.
One poor, obsessed, paragon of a man who no one should aspire to. For 27 days , this man sat in an internet cafe in the Chaoyang district of China, eating nothing but instant noodles and stereotype fodder until he fainted. Apparently, in the last three days of his marathon, he had stopped eating or drinking, and it was all apparently too much. He will be remembered by parents and spouses everywhere who want to nag their children and other spouses when they won't turn the damn game off.
In what is probably the first case documented case of video games killing someone, there's an omnipresent smiley face. Berzerk was a game that looked like most games did in the mids: black screens, blue walls, and sprites that looked less like people and more like the floaters in your eye from staring at the sun too long.
In other words, cutting-edge technology that's totally rad. Sadly, all this next-level technology was far too much for Peter Bukowski, who after battling valiantly with the insane levels of stress the game incurred upon him, suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
He didn't make it, and from there the 'video games are evil' camp had a whole new talking point to harp on about. However, I would like to point out that, in the news article I found, the county coroner was hesitant to link video games and heart attacks. What you may not know is that before POGO , they did another game that was successful to a degree.
Players picked one of two factions and then walked around their neighborhoods essentially tagging it for one or the other. While it was nothing in terms of the phenomenon its little brother turned out to be, Ingress had people getting out and playing. But for at least one overzealous player, things did not pan out well. He spent four days in a coma until finally succumbing to his wounds.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Florida Man and reading this story, I think Florida has been ruined for me. Darrius Johnson is a troubled young man with some very bizarre astrologically-tinted beliefs. He stabbed his girlfriend, Monica Gooden, multiple times, but if that were the end of the story, it wouldn't be on this list. Among the grizzly scene, investigators found a broken and bloody Xbox and controller, implying that among the stabs, he ruthlessly beat her down with the silver medal of last cycle's gaming consoles.
A truly undignified end to a woman who seemed to have things going well for her, besides a very unstable boyfriend, that is. When asked why Darrius committed such a heinous act, his response was pure, undiluted Florida crazy : Monica had control over his spirit, and he had to fight her like a dragon. She was a Taurus, and needed to sacrifice her for his and her benefit.
Did you guys know water poisoning was a thing? Because until I dug this story up, I did not know it was a thing. Participants would have to drink half-pint bottles of water every fifteen minutes for as long as they could without going to the bathroom. The one who drank the most and held the longest would be declared the winner. For Jennifer Strange though, things didn't work out as harmless as the station planned. Midway through the competition, Strange started complaining of severe headaches and bailed out.
The next time someone saw her, she was found dead in her apartment. The coroner ended up saying her death was consistent with water intoxication, which happens when too much water causes the fluid in the brain to swell, resulting in death. To make this even more heartbreaking, she was a mother of three and doing this for her kids. Wii Fit was a craze that put more Wii consoles in the homes of people who wanted to believe they were working out while playing video games than any other game yet released.
As a result, there were a lot of accidents with it, considering it was just a plastic slab you stood on and could easily slip off of. But for all the holes in drywall and busted end tables it was responsible for, Tim Eves would have gladly taken that over what happened to him. By all measures, Tim really didn't need the game. He was a scout leader, and he played the drums, so his cardio needs were well-taken care of.
After having some food and drinking a little wine, Tim decided to play Wii Fit for funsies. This game is definitely not the first piece of media to be based on the devastating disaster in Pripyat, but is the latest. Chernobylite is a recently released sci-fi survival game on both consoles and PC, and sees players pick their way across the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. While not specifically listed as a horror game, those who understand the disaster and its effects will appreciate the terrifying aspect of it.
The reactor exploded in the mids and caused a horrendous sequence of events, costing the lives of many and ruining the area for decades to come. Chernobylite is located in the very real Exclusion Zone, which covers 30km in every direction around the Chernobyl nuclear reactor site. The player must search this dangerous area for their long-lost wife. The haunting and melancholy feel provides a look into the true brutality of the unfortunate event.
Outlast is a horror survival game featuring the playable character of a news journalist, who investigates an abandoned asylum nestled deep in the mountains of Colorado. Mount Massive Asylum is named after a real mountain in the Colorado range, and the building itself is modeled after the H. Richardson Complex located in Buffalo, New York.
Tin the USA in the mids, MK Ultra involved involuntary subjects being exposed to what was essentially mind control via the use of drugs, torture, and information overload. In Outlast , the Murkoff Corporation picked up where the government left off and continued the terrifying experiments. GTA 6 is still a distant dream for many fans, but the upcoming Saints Row reboot could prove to be a breath of fresh air in the meantime.

One night I came back from my internship. It was a long day, and I was extremely tired. I freshened up and sat by the window sipping some cold drink. It was a hot summer night. I suddenly noticed that the store room light was on. The clock signalled at 2 AM.
The door was closed and so were the windows of the store room. Nevertheless, I could distinctly visualise the shape of a lady inside the store room. Her shadow appeared to be roaming around in the room. That was weird. I felt puzzled and wondered about what somebody would do in the store room, specially at that time.
But I was too tired to think. Thus, I finished my cold drink and went straight to bed. The next morning I had my classes as usual. While returning from the class, I found couple of police vehicles parked outside the nursing hostel. I was curious and thus inquired. The officer told me about how last night a nurse had committed suicide by hanging herself from the fan in the store room. After living in their new home with their 17 year old daughter for a couple of weeks strange things started happening.
The first one to notice was the mother. One evening when she was in the bathroom, which is towards the back of the house, she heard laughter outside the bathroom window.
She said it sounded like children playing and she thought it could be the children from down the road.
The funny thing to her though was that it was late and very dark outside. She went to the back of the house to see who it was and no-one was outside. This happened several times to the mother and the same thing happened every time she went outside to see who or what it was. She never said anything to anyone because she believed it was the kids from down the street but that they were just being sneaky and playing tricks on her. One early morning when it was still dark outside the mother and father had left for work.
The daughter was alone and getting ready for school. She was in the bathroom when she heard children giggling at the front door.
It sounded as if they were running back and forth and bouncing a ball. She stormed out of the bathroom and opened the front door to yell at the kids and when she did no-one was there!
Later, she walked to the sidewalk and looked up and down the street. It was the strangest feeling. She said she felt really scared and the fact that it was still dark out made it creepier. That evening she told her mom what had happened. In short, her mom told her that the same things had happened to her several times. With the fear being as strong as it was the mother decided to call their priest to come bless the house. After the blessing everything stopped.
Still puzzled by the strange happening the mother decided to investigate the land the subdivision was built on. This incident is amongst few gruesome real life horror stories. It belongs to the time when I was pursuing my higher education from Shimla.
My college was in the middle of the city albeit our hostel was outside a village nearing the town. We had no permission to go out of campus after 9 pm. The hostel rooms consisted of four occupancy in a single room. Every night, we noticed a weird phenomenon. They used to stare continuously at the windows of mine and my neighbour and cry in a deep tone.
The tone itself created a weird feeling in our head and that would keep us awake all night. Thus, to counter this issue we kept some pebbles on our windows to throw at them whenever they bark. I was the only brahmin in the hostel. I used to wear my holy band. We called it janoi. One night my room partner woke up at 3 am.
Then he noticed something paranormal. He spectated someone walking in the room. There was this smell of the rotten flesh. Firstly, he thought of a local thief who had come to steal the utensils and electronic goods. My room partner noticed the pilferer marching for five to ten minutes.
Afterwards, he jumped out from our balcony. He immediately understood that it is an inhuman personality because it was impossible to jump from the third floor of the building without an assistance.
He began to shiver and started to utter holy chants. Next day he narrated the whole incident to us. We all were scared deep within knowing it would happen every night. There were total eight students in two of our rooms. All of us decided unanimously to sleep in one room.
We all kept ourselves in random gossips until the clock struck It was when the dogs started barking again. We threw stones at them so they ran away. We took a look around the premises and finally decided to sleep. After a couple of hours when all of us were sleeping, I had a feeling if something touched me. When I opened my eyes, I saw my best friend staring at me. He was shivering and extremely terrified. Next morning everyone were quite scared to witness an old male walking in the room.
This incident kept on repeating for a week. I used to mock them as I never witnessed anything as such.
