Teen Confesses to Grisly Murder in World of Warcraft Chat

We gamers have worked hard to try and overcome to our reputation as dangerous basement-dwelling sociopaths, though everytime we make strides towards acceptance, some game-loving jerk goes and kills some people, so that now when I bring up my WoW addiction, the only thing people hear are "I have a collection of human skulls in my closet."

This latest horror story comes courtesy of Vanity Fair, about a sixteen-year-old goth kid all whacked out on prescription meds, who brutally raped and murdered a teenage girl with the assistance of a friend. His brilliant plan to cover up this grisly murder? Send the deceased an IM asking "Where u at dawg?" Because obviously he couldn't have murdered someone if he was texting @ them, that would just be a waste of time.

Anyhow, in addition to answering his bro's text while stuffing the body into a fridge, which linked him directly to a cell tower near the scene of the crime and immediately disproved his "I was IMing and stuff" alibi, he also figured he'd confess to his World of Warcraft girlfriend, unable to overcome the guilt without spilling his soul somewhere outside the chambers of Doom Lord Kazzak. Blizzard was of course, more than happy to hand the logs over to prosecuters, who used it as the primary evidence in putting this Level. 85 psycho behind bars.

Wait, if a gaming company helps to catch a murderer, does that balance out the fact that a gamer murdered somebody? Maybe our rep isn't as bad as I'd thought.
