A World of Warcraft obsessive did his demographic a disservice recently by getting involved in a drunken dispute with his mother, grabbing her hair, choking her, and headbutting a wall. Oh, and he also ended up getting shot in the head by his grandfather.

27-year-old James Swan, who lives with his mother (obviously) had been playing WoW and getting drunk before the fight began. Swan's mother demanded that the manchild tone down the noise while he played his game at 10pm, a demand that Swan took umbrage with. Rage of the Gods ensued as the MMO player eventually grabbed his mother by the hair and flung her onto a bed. He also did the same to his little brother, who had arrived to find out what the noise was about.

The mother ran to call the police, but Swan ripped the phone from the wall and proceeded to repeatedly headbutt the the spot where the phone once was. He then began to choke his mother into near-unconsciousness, threatening to kill her, before the grandfather became involved. Swan threatened to kill him too, so the grandfather got his gun. The two men then wrestled over the gun, which went off and shot James Swan in the head. The bullet bounced off his skull and went through a window. Luckily for Swan, he was only wounded, and was arrested after refusing treatment at a hospital.

F*cking hilarious.

I like how the focus of the story is his WOW addiction, and not the fact that he was drunk, or the fact that he's a congenital retard.

This has nothing to do with WoW except for the fact that he happened to be playing WoW at the time of the incident.

Well, I guess it does have something to do with WoW.

"Chair user beats up mom, headbutts wall, gets shot" is equally factual. I blame the chairs.

I don't see how he didn't die after getting shot in the head, was the grandfather shooting marshmallows?

If it was a .22 or less, it could have easily not penetrated the skull.

I've heard of people that can have a bullet penetrate their heads even if the bullet is made of soap, no hyperbole.

Maybe a small caliber bullet wouldn't pass through, but it should've at least given a crack or something.

Actually now that I think about it I remember an episode of "1000 ways to die" where a drunk lad fired three cigarettes out of a shotgun which killed his friend...

If you hit the eyesocket just right, you can kill someone with an air rifle firing BBs.

Or maybe he was Phineas Gage.
