The Houston Chronicle is reporting that a high school student hollowed out a Game Boy, filled it with gunpowder, brought it to school, and then talked to his friends about it, which eventually led to the police picking up the story. The boy was taken into custody and the bomb was neutralized.
There was no word on which game the system had in it at the time, but we're willing to wager that one of the Bomberman games was inserted.

If the boy wanted to disguise a bomb as a videogame he should have just brought this to school.

Knowing how the mainstream media works, a GameGear, of course.

Why must this sort of stupidity goes unchecked!
I think it was in fact checked when they arrested him, lol.
The first person to link a news article suggesting that video games 'made him do it' will be crowned king awesome

But if one was to place the power in a metal case with some ball bearings thrown in, the overall damage would be much more widespread. The metal case would contain the explosion long enough for it to build up to peak pressure.
Never the less, the guy is a assclown and should be treated like one.

This will certainly make a big bang in the hardcore gaming sector.

Seriously, though I'm just quoting a friend- I didn't come up with that joke.
Post by: Ian Sane on February 23, 2004, 10:32:21 AM
That friend would be PGC since they made that exact joke in the news report itself.
Post by: mouse_clicker on February 23, 2004, 10:40:13 AM
In fact, he probably read it on PGC first- the bastard! Can't even come up with his own bad jokes.
