Playing video games can save your life...

Boy Saves Sister from Moose Attack with Skills Learned in Warcraft Video Game
Posted Dec 10th 2007 9:06AM by Terrence O'Brien
Filed under: Computers, Video Games
This 12 year-old Norwegian boy saved his sister and himself from a moose attack using skills he picked up in the online role playing game 'World of Warcraft.'
Hans Jørgen Olsen and his sister got into a spot of trouble when they encroached on the territory of one of these antlered cold weather staples (otherwise known as a moose). When the beast went on the offensive, Hans knew the first thing he had to do was taunt it so that it would leave his sister alone and she could run to safety. "Taunting" is a move one uses in World of Warcraft to get monsters off of the less-well-armored team members.
Once he was a target, Hans remember another skill he'd picked up at level 30 in 'World of Warcraft' -- he feigned death. The moose lost interest in the inanimate Hans and wandered off into the woods. When he was safely alone Hans ran back home to share his tale of video game-inspired survival.
Make fun of video games all you want, but if one can teach you a skill that saves your (and your sister's) life, then we'd say that was a video game worth playing.

So.... I think this is permission for me to play LOTS of video games!

I doubt it James....one way or another she'll find a way to yell at you for it.
Karen bought me my XBox 360 for Christmas last year, and she still gets on my case for playing it sometimes. :shrugs:

I don't call it "playing" when I play resident evil; I call it training and preparation for the zombie invasion.

He learned at level 30 HaHaHa a skill, WOW goes up to 70 skill level I think. Could u imagine whats skills he could have pulled off in front of that moose if he was a level 70. He could have gotten these skills from living on a farm.
