Boy Saves Sister From Moose Using WoW Skills

[jgiron]

I think it's more amazing that the WoW player left his house.

 

[cloakster]

Wow, that kid is lucky. What if these WoW tactics were not real, he would have been killed so fast.

 

[zaznet]

Gain agro, kite and exploit terrain hack so Moose can't reach you.

[citation][nom]Shez[/nom]Ummm isn't it called 'aggro'ing and not taunting? Pssshh...[/citation]
Actually, the girl already had aggro. He just taunted it off her. He's lucky the moose didn't resisted the feign death. He would have given him a couple of crushing blows.

mass fails. He should have rooted the moose, then got distance and dotted the moose till he died. Might have gotten an epic drop.

I lol'd +1

 

[chickenhoagie]

lmao awesome story..i always felt like my gaming skills have helped me in some crazy situations

 

[nforce4max]

Cool he is a real life tanker kid 😛

Only warriors use "Taunt"

 

[hixbot]

So he distracted a moose's attention from his sister, and then played dead? Pretty silly leap to attribute those mere 2 actions to WoW.
Funny read though.

LOL Warrior Tank/Rogue Hybrid FTW.

Good thing the Moose wasn't a Boss mob, otherwise Taunt would have failed.

[citation][nom]Lessqqmorepewpew[/nom]should've used lightning bolt[/citation]That made me think of this sketch.

And Hans, gj man, pure win irl.

How in the world was a moose playing and learning from WoW? There is no other place/situation in the world where taunting/distracting is used like this. How could a behavior originated in WoW leak in the real world??

Man with the kid's mad skills, he must be L80 by now then. He's had 2 1/2 years to practice since this event!

 

[mdillenbeck]

Yeah, WoW taught him these skills that let them survive. Also, as a side effect of playing violent video games, he will eventually brutally murder his family including the sister he just saved.

However, this one was as entertaining of a read as all those violent video gaming articles but just as off-base.

 

[Manos]

In other news, a similar event took place in China and instictivly the little Chinesse boy skinned the wilderbeast, farmed the place and kept botting till there was nothing left around.

 

[victomofreality]

After the girl escaped, Hans initiated another World of Warcraft tactic he learned at level 30: feigning his death.

The amount of experience points given for the encounter is currently unknown.

ummm duh he fd'ed to drop agro so he wouldn't have gotten any xp now if he has stun locked the moose and ganked it with a bs that would have been l33t...

[citation][nom]blackscreen[/nom]A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".[/citation]

+10000000000000000! who ever votes this down go and watch some Monty Python!

You can also carry a boomstick, aka a 12g shotgun loaded with rifled slugs.

Shut up, I just want my life back!

 

[netmand]

[citation][nom]gwolfman[/nom]LOL! +1People must not know where this comes from if they are marking it down.[/citation]
well... in the spirit of the comment it -should- be sacked!

 

[FullSpecs]

[citation][nom]christopherknapp[/nom]Either that or spill oil all over it until it died.[/citation]
Yes, but it would be a British company that supplied the oil...

I am an American Airman, I am a warrior...

Actually real warriors just call in an airstrike.

 

[bustapr]

[citation][nom]lo_vaquero[/nom]Must be a slow news day. Any survival expert will tell you that these approaches are not new, nor rooted in MMORPG's. They are part of general survival tactics.Still, props for the entertaining read.[/citation]
Dude, its a 12 year old, and he learned these survival tactics by playing WoW. He didnt learn them anywhere else. This is great news because it tells those darn anti game deusches that video games save lives. lol
