Nerd sues video game company for getting addicted to nerd game!!!

Video games can be pretty addicting. Now, a judge will decide if one video game maker should pay. A man in Hawaii is suing because he says he’s suffering from video game withdrawal. Craig Smallwood claims he became “psychologically dependent and addicted” to the video game “Lineage II” published by game-maker “NCsoft.” So far, the court has dismissed several of Smallwood’s claims, but they allowed him to keep his “gross negligence” claim, which says the company was negligent in providing this software to the public when they knew of the potential dangers of addiction or dependence. Smallwood says that he played “Lineage II” for over 20,000 between 2004 and 2009. That averages out to nine hours a day.

Man if only they had lawsuits back in the day when Madden ‘96 dropped for Super Nintendo I’d be a millionaire by now. Like I don’t even know how many hours I spent on those mini-games for the Create A Player mode trying to get K.MARKO to 100% ability. Probably a billion. At least a million trying to do that impossible 40 yard dash where you basically just mash ABABAB together until your thumbs bleed. Shit was so simple back then too. You click on a team and it would say “The Giants possess a solid defense.” “The Chargers possess a gutsy offense.” “The 49ers are the best team in the NFL.” Ok sweet I’ll be the Niners. These days you can’t start the game until you give your offensive tackle a 3 year contract extension with player incentives and negotiate hot dog rates at the concessions. Just way too realistic. No wonder this guy Craig Smallwood is so pissed. Probably finally beat his RPG nerd game at hour 20,000 and all the monsters and zombies climbed out of the screen and punched him in the cock.

3-Year-Old Saves Dad by Walking to Fire Station for Help!!!

(Aug. 23) -- When her father collapsed in their living room, 3-year-old Alesaundra Tafoya knew what to do. The Manteca, Calif., toddler walked two blocks to the fire station, where she told firefighters her father was "frozen" and needed help.

"I've been here over 20 years, it's the first time I've had a 3-year-old walk up to the fire station," Manteca Fire Department Capt. Robert Villalovoz told CBS 13. "She walked us down to her house and there her dad was, sitting in the living room, needing medical care."

According to the Manteca Bulletin, Alesaundra made it as far as the parking lot behind the fire department when members of an Alcoholics Anonymous support group meeting next door noticed that the toddler looked confused and helped her make it the rest of the way into the fire station.

Alesaundra may have saved her dad's life. Her father, Frank Tafoya, says he accidentally overdosed on prescription medication. "Took a mixture of medication I wasn't supposed to at the time, a bedtime dose, and I guess I collapsed," he said.
Her parents said they'd been pointing out the fire station as a place to go to get help in case of an emergency.

Ex-Marine Guilty of Murdering Pregnant Colleague!!!

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (Aug. 23) - A jury on Monday convicted a former Marine of first-degree murder in the death of a pregnant colleague who had accused him of rape, a charge that stalled the military career he treasured.

Cesar Laurean, 23, of Las Vegas, was found guilty of killing Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, of Vandalia, Ohio,. The two were assigned to the same logistics unit at Camp Lejeune, the base in Jacksonville that is home to about 50,000 Marines.

The former Marine was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The victim's mother, Mary Lauterbach, read a statement before the judge imposed the sentence. She told Laurean to look at his mother and see the pain in her face.

"I feel so sorry for your daughter. She will have to live with the shame that her father is in prison for murdering not one but two people," Mary Lauterbach said.

Defense lawyer Dick McNeil told the court Laurean would appeal. The judge ordered the state's appellate defender's office to represent Laurean's appeal. Laurean also faced three other charges of robbing Lauterbach of her bank ATM card, and of theft and attempted fraud for allegedly trying to use it to withdraw cash. He was found not guilty of the robbery charge, but Laurean was convicted on the fraud and theft charges.

The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for three hours since Monday before convicting Laurean. Laurean was eventually cleared of the rape accusation, and a Marine buddy testified Laurean told him the sex was consensual.

Prosecutors had argued Laurean wanted to get rid of the woman because their encounter threatened to destroy his military career. Even if the sex was consensual, Laurean could have been punished because it is against Marine Corps rules to have sex with a subordinate.

McNeil had argued prosecutors failed to prove Laurean swung the crowbar that fractured Lauterbach's skull. He said Laurean's wife, also a Marine, could have exploded when Lauterbach appeared at the couple's home on the day she disappeared. Authorities described Christina Laurean as a cooperating witness and have not charged her with any crime.

15 year Old Set on Fire by friends for owing $40 in video games!!!

The 15-year-old who was literally set on fire by bullying "friends" is ready to start over at a new high school. 'Good Morning America' anchor Juju Chang follows the story of Michael's courageous recovery. "Claiming that he owned $40 for a video game, one doused him with rubbing alcohol, another had a lighter," Chang reports, "Michael ran frantic to a swimming pool and jumped in." Two-thirds of Michael's body was severely burned and doctors put the teen into a medically-induced coma for three weeks as he fought for his life.

"Then, his hardest work began; multiple surgeries for skin grafts, weeks of grueling physical therapy," Chang reports. When asked what kept him going, Michael replies, "Family and prayers." Michael also counts the music of Ozzy Osbourne part of his inspiration. "We can't forget what happened to him," Michael's mother explains, "We have got to take a stand."

Harry Potter Condoms Don't go over so well with Warner Brothers!!!

Swiss condom makers certainly have a sense of humor or else they probably wouldn’t have gone with the wizardly sounding Harry Popper for their line of rubbers. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. didn’t think it was so funny.

Obviously adding some sexual spoof to Harry Potter, the company is now at odds with the studio giant. Warner Bros. claims that the name is a direct copy of Harry Potter and tarnishes the reputation and image of the wholesome wizard.

Well, we certainly can’t argue that, but come on guys have a sense of humor. If you let your star strip down butt naked to frolic around with horses (Equus), then I’m not thinking some latex advertising is that big of a deal.

Drug offender forced to write a report on Weed!!!

I’m pretty sure Matthew Palazzolo wasn’t expecting on having to bang out an essay on Mary Jane after selling some pot to a police informant. But District Judge Dave Gamble has quite the sense of humor apparently.

Matthew, who works at a Sacramento law firm was picked up after selling a police informant a quarter-pound of pot for $1,060. He originally got a license to grow pot after complaining about a sore, prompting him to be issued a medical marijuana card. When he was brought before Judge Dave, he was given 90 days to write a report on how marijuana caused him to use more powerful narcotics.

Damn, I’m sure if Matthew would have known that he’d have to spend his free time banging out a pot essay, he may have been at least a little more careful about who he shared his stash with. But hey, that’s a pretty damn reasonable sentence than spending your days next to Bubba and Big Eddie in cellblock such and such.
