Dennis is no longer our #1 menace. Although "Julien the Menace" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, it is far more apt.  Twenty year old Julien Barreaux has fronted court for stabbing another man.

His motivation? The other guy won a knife fight against Barreaux in an online game of Counter-Strike, the popular "first person shooter" computer game. Some people are extremely sore losers, it would seem. However, instead of screaming "you poofter" or "camping fag" down the microphone like the rest of the "civilised" world, Barreaux spent seven months coldly and calculatedly tracking down the real-life version of Mikhael.

Unfortunately for poor old Mikhael, it turned out that he only lived a few miles away from the spectacularly unstable Barreaux.  And once Barreaux had made this discovery he promptly headed over to Mikhael's house, rang the doorbell and when Mikhael opened the door, stabbed him in the chest with a kitchen knife, missing Mikhael's heart by an inch.

Barreaux has been jailed for two years (GBH) and ordered to undergo psychiatric tests and anger management therapy.  Presiding Judge, Alexiane Potel, told Barreaux: "You are a menace to society, I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street".

Red Dead Redemption was due for release in Australia on Friday the 21st of May 2010.  Apparently, and much to the delight of every gamer I know, some random (probably now “ex”) employee of Dick Smith took it upon themselves to break street date and sell the game a day early… which meant it was “game on” across the country… as the nerdy gaming retailer code goes: we’ll sell it early too, just so long as someone else does it first so our parents don’t get a letter from the teacher.

This is an “initial thoughts” post.  What is an “initial thoughts” post?  Well, it’s like a review, only it’s written before the game is completed.  Which gives you plenty of excuses to back out on every-single-thing you’ve said later on, should it be required.  Handy, I know.
