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.

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