The perp evidently entered his target’s house through an unlocked door, then struck his target with a hammer.
Gaming sure has changed since I played pinball as a kid.

He could have just killed his opponent with a simulated hammer in the game.

"Gaming sure has changed since I played pinball as a kid." For a nickel per play. I remember.

What 8th grade imbecile wrote this ? Newark to Jacksonville isn’t “ cross country”. Unless you’re and imbecile and drive the wrong way. It’s like 600 miles. A days drive.

Some gamers take gaming way too seriously. Glad to know the victim will be OK.

I’d be okay with that. But leave Pong alone. I always liked Pong.
