Video gamer hunts down, stabs man who killed his online 'Counter-Strike' character

[Cy-Kill]

I posted earlier about the AT&T shooter, now here's another, but it has nothing to do with AT&T but everything to do with Counter-Strike:

Watch out who you kill in the virtual world, it may inspire someone to attack you in the real one.

That's what happened to one Frenchman, who was stabbed and nearly killed by a fellow "Counter-Strike" player, according to London's Telegraph.

Julien Barreaux reportedly spent six months looking for the person who killed his online character in a virtual knife fight, and eventually found the foe living only a few miles away in Cambrai, a town about 2 hours north of Paris.

Not surprising.

As I tried to explain in my wall of troll, you can easily track and kill someone pretty much anywhere in the world with less than a thousand or so USD. Unless you hire someone for the job then it gets expensive. How the hell did it take half a year? Heck, I can do it in a few days. Then again maybe he did not have the money for that. For favorite example of such an easy thing is found in the movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back:

Six months?! I can't even hold a grudge for an hour.

Glad no one died this time >_>
And this is a grudge. Six months?!? Did he **** his mother at the same time he stabbed his virtual character?
