      Which is apparently shutting down in two days. He tried to murder some other guy over a dispute in a game world that was on the verge of going away forever anyway.

      Like, the guy could have just waited a week and that whole chunk of his life would have been wiped away.

    Honestly im impressed by the conviction, usually when someone threatens to murder ya online its just hot air. Also why a hammer use an axe or a knife or something else, hammers arent nearly as effective against unarmored foes.

        I have not watched that movie in years. I think the last time I sat down and watched it was on public access at my aunts house circa 2008. Thanks for giving me a nostalgia kick from a childhood memory dude.

Rules:

1. Be civil
