Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

While still largely contested and debated world-wide, the notion of video game addiction has become a life threatening reality to one unlucky Arkansas family after a young man was left in critical condition earlier this week.

Mrs. Timter wasn't in any better condition than her son.

Local hospital officials state that sixteen year old Nicky Timter, a freshman at Kusanhumpar High School is lucky to be alive after being found largely unresponsive by his parents in their Hilton Heights trailer home.

"We had read about people suing for video game addiction and stuff, but we didn't think that we could ever make no money off of it. Then we come home to our boy, rubbing them video games on his gums and puttin' them up his nose like a junkie!" Explained the boy's mother as she sobbed dramatically into the camera.

"Do you have any idea what chunks of plastic DS cartridges, or shards of crushed up game discs can do to your body?" His mother asked rhetorically through tear stained eyes before asking if she could give a "shout-out" to her "baby-daddy".

"Anyone who doesn't think that video game addiction is real just needs to look at our boy! We blame that Nintendo for giving him Coleco visions and teaching him how to do this, and now we want our money!" She screamed before being led away by local law enforcement officials for several outstanding warrants.

The boy's physician Dr. Henry Alcome listed the boy's condition as "stable" but noted that he will remain under strict supervision and watchful eye. Declining to be interviewed further the doctor added that aside from his apparent video game addiction, medically speaking, the young man is "A f***ing retard."
