he had the travel to calm down and think how stupid it was but still went all the way there. That is hard to understand

Leeper quipped that his only answer to Kang was: “It will be a long time before you play video games.”
How do these people figure out where their opponent lives?
Modern social media that demands irl info and dumbasses who can’t figure out how to fill in false information into them. If I got into an online dispute like this, I’d just give them the address of some police barracks. Let them have fun with charges on an attemped swat on the cops.

This is horrible… but of course it was a Korean MMORPG
What do you mean “of course”? If I had to guess the game in question, I would have said CounterStrike or Call of Duty.
Oh come on, MMORPG players have always been the worse of the two. I mean, most people of both camps are really nice. But playing a shooter vs pretending you’re a wizard? Way more chance to drop off the really deep end.
