The bizarre gaming news just keeps coming, and this week it comes from New Jersey.

After hearing loud and violent screams coming from a house in her neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon, a Bound Brook woman phoned the police. When the cops arrived, the offender told them he couldn't stop screaming because of the video game he was playing.

He continued to scream about the unnamed console game so much on his doorstep that the cops had to call for back-up. When more cop cars rolled up, the man freaked out even more, threatened police, and barricaded himself in his house, wild screams continuing the whole time. The officers, unable to enter the house, decided to call the SWAT team. The Somerset County SWAT team assembled at the neighborhood high school and prepared to take action. Before that could happen, the screaming gamer willfully left his house--a full 70 minutes after the police first arrived.

Wisely, the non-stop screamer was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

Ok, apparently it's disorderly conduct to scream at your house when police officers are trying to enter your home without a warrant. That lady should have minded her own business and the police officers had no right to harass the poor man who probably just got into a divorce or had someone close to him die on top of losing in a video game.

That's what happens to me when I lose in a video game, I scream and become upset. No need for psychiatric help. I just wonder how much money this guy is going to sue the Police and SWAT departments for violating his rights.
