Bullet-Proof Xbox Wows Police

DocUi writes "The Baltimore Sun is reporting about how a man, upset with his roommates playing videogames late at night, decided to take it out on their Xbox using a gun. He stormed into their living room and fired a round into the offending game console. However, 'The 9mm gunshot did not penetrate the system and did not injure anyone at the scene, police said', although it 'disabled' the machine."

It wasn't that it was too loud at night really, just that he was playing it at every waking moment. I'm even a night owl and kinda loud myself (who doesn't turn good music up?). I even did the Zappa-esque 36/12 sleep schedule for a couple of years (up for 36 hours then sleep 12 on a rotating schedule). And yes, the cops come to my parties too.

My particular solution came after he had just spent the past four days staying home from work and playing games nearly 24 hours a day (He was proud to have played for 50 hours straight without having to stop for sleep). He even mentioned quiting his job and selling Pot for money so he could play full-time. Clearly, something had to be done.

By the way, I also play guitar, so I can attest that loud can be good - just not the same damn 8 bit music for days on end being distorted by a crappy TV speaker turned all the way up. There are only so many times you can stand hearing the "bla-ding" of a Mario coin at full volume per day. You try to live with that and then see how much of a pussy you are. Fscking trolls.
