Gaming Victory Leads to Prison
Thomas Ballard of Delhi, LA was celebrating his leet gaming skills one minute, then being served a search warrant the next. It seems that Ballard tried to call a friend after a gaming session, touting he had “killed them all”. The problem was that instead of reaching his friend, Thomas dialed a wrong number. The person who he reached took the statements in a different context, and proceeded to call the authorities. It didn’t take the cops long to show up to his residence, where they searched for possible bodies and then arrested Ballard for a previous unrelated warrant.
Now, the details are still sparse on this case, but lets make one thing clear. Gamers, if you are going to call someone to talk about video games, make sure they know what you’re talking about. Some people may be too concerned about the fact that you got a “triple kill” to properly congratulate you.

Another tip: Don’t do cocaine.
And who calls their friend just because they killed everyone in a video game?
Maybe the guy really sucks at games, so this is the first time he ever actually beat somebody else.
