Zhenghao Shen, a Chinese college student in Australia, stabbed a friend in the head after an argument broke out while they were playing World of Warcraft (of course).
It was told the victim asked Zhenghao to turn down the volume on his computer several times then challenged him to a fight.
Zhenghao allegedly then stabbed the victim in the head with a chef’s knife.
Wow. I mean, was it really that hard to turn your speakers down? Do you really have to succumb to the stereotype of nerdy Asian boys who incessantly play video games and sometimes take things a little too far?
Shen, I’m very disappointed in you. But at least you didn’t pull out a samurai sword. THAT would have been a little too much.
What next?

It also depends on what kind of chef’s knife. It’s still quite stereotypically Asian if he used one of those heavy rectangular ones.

What? Severed finger? They will never properly be able to “QQ” ever again.
(That is SUCH an inside joke for World of Warcraft players)

I’m sure there’s a poor translation in there somewhere. The correct term would be to chop with a chiefs knife (those chinese square looking meat cleavers). The believe the character would be: 斬 <–Chop/behead

I probably would have stabbed by ex for that same reason too. He was addicted to that game..wouldn’t eat, rarely left the house (except for work), etc…And he always put the volume way too loud at night. It drove me crazy!
