Aggravated assault with Sega Light Phaser
This is what happens when you don't pay your bills on time...

Of course he would not be able to hurt his victim - we can see that the gun was NOT plugged into the console.
phew!

Re: Aggravated assault with Sega Light Phaser
So when the police start up with their AK-47's and M-16's what's his response?
Let me plugin?
I'm not dead yet.

I think it was more like, "aw smurf, I left the console at home!" Because, he gave up without a fight.

I'd have told the snipers to take him out just due to his mere stupidity...he should have used a Guncon for the realism edge

Re: Aggravated assault with Sega Light Phaser
I saw this story a while ago, and wherever I saw it, they ended the article by saying something like, "fortunately, the victim was not hurt."
Well DUH! What was he gonna do, shine some light on her?

Re: Aggravated assault with Sega Light Phaser
I don't think i'd want to admit being held hostage by a light gun or even being hurt in the process .

I was shot several times with his light gun. Luckily I only received light wounds.

Re: Aggravated assault with Sega Light Phaser
haha, "light" wounds. I like it.
Anyway, I was just playing with his light gun yesterday --Missile Defense 3-D is the best game ever made! But it made me wonder: Suppose that he was doing likewise, and was so overwhelmed by the 3D world, that he was no longer able to distinguish the video game from reality. That being the case, this is really all Sega's fault, and grounds for a lawsuit.

That earns one light mortar round, or a shot from a bevawatt laser.
Or, if we're feeling really nasty, a visit from the lightweights of one of WoW's Oprah Winfury clans.
