Police say a dispute among brothers over a video game turned violent Wednesday morning about 5 a.m. Officials say 18-year-old Luke Marshall was playing a video game with a friend when his older brother told him to be quiet.
Shortly after his friend left, police say Luke Marshall got very upset, grabbed a double headed medieval ax and proceeded to strike his 21-year-old brother. The victim suffered cuts his right wrist and right leg, and requiring stitches.
The younger Marshall was arrested for 2nd degree Assault, Terroristic Threats....

My first take was wrong—it wasn’t a virtual ax from the game. But, if all he had was cuts, it wasn’t much of an ax, either. Still.... weird.
Watch out if he buys you a cat ‘o nine tails and a pair of hand cuffs, unless you’re really into that kind of thing.
Average age of a video gamer these days is 35-37. It is actually not odd at all for a 20-year-old to be gaming.
Ah... swords of questionable parentage...
Terroristic threats is a garbage charge allowing cops to arrest you for anything they wish.
The oldest gamer I have met in an MMO was in his 80’s. The idea that there is an age cap for video games is ridiculous. The first computer games were designed by bored grad students using mainframes.
Shoot... I had better go shopping...
The argument is that children aren't influenced by anything they see on TV or video games for that matter.
But yet the govt has banned all tobacco related advertisements from not only TV and radio but roadside signs too........
What do they know that they're not telling us? (or that WE already know?)
It was a battle for the pimple cream.
World of Warcraft. It’s not for real life.
We know who lost.
I got a medieval fruitcake I can send you. Studded with hard candy and quite deadly when thrown by hand or by catapult.
Lol. Owwie.
Nose hurts now.
Coffee doesn’t work well there.
Wait..no warhammers mentioned, no flails, morningstar, or mace...
He’s hogging the good stuff!
She’s almost cute, in a pimply corn-fed kind of way.
Oh; wait! That’s the perp? No wonder the brother only suffered cuts & bruises.
At least her virtue is intact.
> Wait..no warhammers mentioned,
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
