After losing a schoolyard fight, a 17-year-old boy in Beijing recently covered a classmate with gasoline and lit him on fire, claiming he "had lost himself in World of Warcraft and when he committed the crime he had transformed into a Fire Mage."
Now I know this will undoubtably bring the age old intellectual debate of how 'WOW SUCKS LOLS' and 'WOW PLAYERS HAVE NO LIFE', but I just though this was some crazy shit. This is a rare example of people taking WoW too seriously, it's still messed up though.
