PLAYING NINTENDO!

Not as mature as six brutal killings and making Yahoo and CNN with "Nintendo" in the headline, but looks like there was at least one deranged Nintendo owner out there...

I wonder if Rita Cosby knew about this...

Murder charge is filed against husband of missing Utah woman

TRAVIS REED

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A first-degree murder charge was filed Monday against Mark Hacking, who allegedly confessed to relatives that he shot his sleeping wife in the head and threw her body in a trash bin.

...

A probable-cause statement released Monday states that Hacking told his brothers that he and his wife had been arguing the night of July 18 when he revealed to her that he had lied about his education and future plans.

Lori Hacking later went to bed, and Mark Hacking stayed up to play Nintendo. As he continued packing for the couple's planned move to the medical school at North Carolina, he came across a .22-calibre rifle, walked into the couple's bedroom and shot his wife, according to the probable-cause statement.

lmao, I was thinking about an Eternal Darkness insanity effect-related joke to make, but I couldn't think of one (you know since along with RE it's one of the two famous mature GCN titles)

So people hwo play games are rare? Wonder who brought all those consoles then?

 

[Kobun Heat]

HAHAHA He was playing "Nintendo".

I know, right? Did he kill her in 1988?

 

[drohne]

almost sounds like he's using "nintendo" as a generic term for video games, as you might use "kleenex" for napkins or "xerox" for photocopiers. my parents still do that, by the way. "stop playing nintendo and walk the dog," etc. visiting home is like a magical journey to the dark heart of the 80s.
