Russian guy murders his friend over argument about which graphics card is better: nVidia or AMD
What looks like a rarest of rare case, two Russian friends started arguing over which Graphics processor is better, nVida or AMD, and one of them ended up being killed in the most gruesome manner.
Aleksander Trofimov, 37, hacked his friend to death with a knife, after hitting him twice in the head. His friend, Evgeny Lylin, died instantly as a result. The murderer was so offended at the victim, he stabbed his dead body 11 times after a while.
The incident took place in the quite town of Saransk, Russia. The friends used to work together as colleagues a few years ago, and kept in touch ever since. Aleksander invited his friend for a few drinks, and both of them got drunk.
This led to the discussion about which cooler of a GPU is better, nVidia or AMD. The discussion soon took a turn for the worst and Aleksander ended up murdering his friend for claiming that AMD was better.
Although, the incident took place over an year ago, Aleksander got convicted and sentenced only recently. He was handed a nine and a half year prison sentence for the crime.
The sentence seems to be low for such a gruesome crime. Moreover, the guy clearly has some mental issues (although they were drunk) for murdering someone over the argument about which graphic card is better.

If this seems absurd then let me tell you of the dude who traced out and knifed the dude who knifed him in a Counter Strike game.
Twenty-year-old Counter-Strike gamer Julien Barreaux got into a virtual knife fight with another player known only as "Mikhael," The fight came to an abrupt end with Barreaux's character hitting the floor dead. Enraged, Barreaux spent the next six months tracking down Mikhael. He eventually discovered his nemesis living only a couple of miles away in Cambrai, a town two hours north of Paris.
As if mirroring the virtual knife fight, Barreaux armed himself with a real-life kitchen knife and went to the man's house. Once the door was opened, Barreaux whipped out the knife and plunged it into Mikhael's chest. The victim survived, escaping death by less than an inch as the knife passed next to his heart, missing its target.
...Barreaux is now behind bars, serving a two-year sentence and forced into anger management therapy.
The hot sauce.
