A court in Cambrai, northern France, heard how Barreaux plotted revenge for seven months after the online "killing" last November. He then located the victim, named only as Mikhael, several miles from his home.
When the man answered the door, he plunged a kitchen knife into his chest, missing his heart by less than an inch, a police officer told the court. He added: "Barreaux was arrested within the hour and told us he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character."
Barreaux was jailed for two years for causing grievous bodily harm, and ordered to undergo psychiatric tests and anger management therapy. Judge Alexiane Potel told him: "You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street."

wow thats scary. glad i dont play that game anymore.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that he stabed the guy or the fact that he still plays Counter Strike. I haven't play that game in years :-P !
well, the game is still very popular, according to http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
both cs:s as v1.6 had over 50k players for just today.
2 years seems a tiny length of time to go to jail for attempting to murder someone.
Who says video games don't lead to violence in the real world?
In this case, they most certainly did!
videogames dont lead to violence in the real world..disturbed mental people do.
