Rhythm gamer murdered by sister because it was "too noisy"

You can translate the Japanese article, but basically it's saying that a Japanese rhythm gamer was killed by his sister possibly because the noise of playing various rhythm games was distressing/bothering her. This guy plays beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, SDVX, jubeat, as well as keyboard rhythm games on the computer.



His sister dismembered his body, from limbs to the head.

I've never heard of anything so extreme that related to rhythm gaming before. This is nuts.

That's crazy. :|

Re: Rhythm gamer murdered by sister because it was "too noisy"
 

Well that's not really an appropriate reaction. That's a hardcore setup he had. Maybe she wanted to tell him but his constant loud music made it impossible to reach out. Very strange, RIP

she's obviously a psycho

Re: Rhythm gamer murdered by sister because it was "too noisy"
 

I dunno rhythm gamers can be pretty selfabsorbed.
maybe she's been pleading with him to stop for years, maybe the constant vibrating noises increased her cortisol levels that led to her irrational decision to kill.
It seems pretty last resort to have to take a life. I'm sure in her mind it was the only solution. Poor girl I hope she gets the help she needs, at least she'll have some peace and quiet.

not advocating murder, jusayin high stress can cause psychotic behaviour, and he was probably the cause of that stress.. go figure
