We can get into video games as much as anybody; or so we thought, until we read this story:

Two men in Athens, Georgia were playing a spirited game of NCAA Football 2007 — Tennessee vs. Auburn (we’re guessing neither of them could agree on who gets to be Georgia), when one of the men snuck a peak of his opponent’s play-calling screen. The other man responded the way any rational person would — by putting a 10-inch butcher knife in his friend’s back after he went to sleep.

The victim is in serious but stable condition; the 34-year old attacker is in custody, where he’ll almost certainly be for some time. And this concludes another episode of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong.”
