I guess the Zombie maps have an update:

Things are about to get a whole lot messier on the Zombies front, soldiers. After receiving positive reports from our Moon team regarding the new Mule Kick, we've decided to start manufacturing the drink here on Earth.

Starting now on PS3 and Xbox 360, Mule Kick is available for purchase in every Zombies map, in addition to the other Perk-A-Colas. For the uninitiated, Mule Kick allows you to hold three weapons at a time for a truly aggressive and varied attack.

Wait a minute...did they write an article about me?

46-year-old tries strangling teen after being pwned in COD: Black Ops

We've heard of video game addiction before, and even of people dying when they neglected their own health as a result, but this is horrendously sad.

Have you even been really ticked off when you were pwned in a video game? Sure, you have. In this case, however, a father of three was so incensed that he attacked a 13-year-old boy who "killed" his "Call of Duty: Black Ops" game character.

Mark Bradford, 46, of Plymouth, England, went postal after his character was killed, although it was also because the unnamed 13-year-old did some trash talking and called him a name.

Bradford knew the boy, and knew to find the boy (who was playing at a friend's home), so he rushed over there (without the aid of a Humvee, we assume), ran into the front room and grabbed the boy by the throat with both hands.

The boy said, “I was just sat playing. We’d had a bit of a joke and then he stormed in and grabbed me. I didn’t know what was going on.”

The boy's mother said, “It’s pathetic that a grown man would attack a defenseless child like this. If you can’t handle losing to a child then you shouldn’t be playing games.

“I know Mark and went straight round when I found out what had happened. I was fuming. But rather than have it out with him I got the police involved.”

And indeed the police became involved. Bradford, who is unemployed and perhaps feeling stressed because of that pleaded guilty to assault and was freed on bail. He will be sentenced on October 24.

Bradford admitted he basically went temporarily crazy. "I’d been playing the whole day and he was baiting me and just would not shut up.

"I just lost it. In a moment of madness I went round to the house. I didn’t know what I was going to do.

“It wasn’t malice. I just grabbed him. I’ve seen him since and apologized. The injuries weren’t that bad, but I do regret it.”

He may regret it even further, depending upon what his sentence ends up being.

Ohhh, I can't say it hasn't crossed my mind more than once. Gotta love the chat volume control on my P11's though. Saves me a ton of grief.

I everyone should consider yourselves lucky you aren't within easy driving range of [SS]Raiden. But don't underestimate his ability to cover large distances.

[[SS]Grifter]

Maybe he should have been looking for a job instead of playing video games all freaking day long......

[[SS]Shooter]

Ah, it's the UK so you don't really need a job.

[[SS]Rator]
