FUUUUUUUUCK

This guy was awesome. Really good spriter, made a load of funny advance wars based sprite comics, I read through them all in my early days on the internet.

This is really weird...
The murderer or the victim?

I came in here to post that.
 
I actually saw that guy around a few times as my friend lives on the same road. I saw him in Gamestation once too.

Pretty weird
 
So did the victim crawl all the way from outside to his computer only to write the note onto the side of it?

How the hell do you stab another human 86 times?
While it's true that a single stab wound could kill you (which is why they say that the loser of a knife fight dies on the ground; the winner dies several hours later in the hospital), it takes a lot to kill someone quickly. The media likes to emphasize how many times the the madman stabbed the victim, as if that makes the attack more vicious and rage-filled when the real cause for that many stab wounds has more to do the attacker's inexperience and the resilience of the human body.
 
Slow news?

"On September 19, 2008, the day after celebrating the couple's third anniversary, Witton went to work, and, after failing to make contact with Pyke, returned home to find him dead."

Am I missing something here? Are they only just now publishing this story?

Costanza is late... there were 2 threads. One got locked for being old.

SILLY OLD COSTANZA.

Oh my god why are nerds so fucking weird about girls
try never having sex for 30 years and see how you feel.
 
Why is a forum thread about someone's murder always accompanied by a bunch of terribly insensitive jokes? Damn Internet.

The murderer sounds like he was messed up in the head with about a billion things going on. There's no way he's going innocent.
 
Shit, this fucking horrible.

And 86 stab wounds... I wonder how the battle result screen would look like.
 
Fun fact: I run an advance wars fansite, and the victim posted on my message board. (It wasn't the forum mentioned in all the news posts, though. It's just a small community).

When this story first broke, site traffic went up 5X and we had 100s of guests browsing the forum concurrently. We traced browser IPs back to law enforcement agencies o.0

We eventually had to turn public viewing and member registrations off, for a few days.
 
Messed up. If you're from Nottingham, and you get stabbed, 99,999 times out of 100,000, it's gonna be in Nottingham. I'm only 15 miles away from the place myself.
