An argument between Counter-Strike players at a Chinese net café
over suspected use of a 'wallhack' cheat led to a 17-year-old boy
being stabbed through the head with a foot-long knife - and living
to tell the tale. (Graphic Photo)
Counter-Strike players in the Jilin province of China take
cheating extremely seriously, as evidenced by the grievous wound
suffered by one suspected cheater on March 16. The 17-year-old
victim was suspected of using a hack that allowed him to see
through walls, giving him an obvious benefit in the computerized
game of hide and go kill each other.
A fight broke out outside the net café regarding the hack, and
one assailant decided to do a little hacking of his own, stabbing
large knife into the side of the cheater's head, the tip of the
blade barely protruding from the other side.
Speaking for everyone reading this, ouch. The boy, miraculously
still conscious, was rushed to a nearby hospital. After around 10
hours of surgery, the knife was successful removed. The boy
survived, but is under observation in case bits of rust - did we
mention the blade was rusty? - flaked off inside his brain.
So how does someone survive a foot-long knife through the skull?
According to doctors, the blade missed major arteries, which kept
him from hemorrhaging, and managed to somehow avoid affecting motor
skills even though the blade passed through areas that handle those
functions.
The net café where the incident occurred was popular with local
youths because it didn't require ID, a fact I'm sure some will
consider to be a factor in the incident, but I've always believed
that being an asshole with a knife is an ageless thing.
I'm not sure how the law works in China regarding stabbings, but
somewhere there's a Counter-Strike player just as relieved that the
victim didn't die as the victim himself.
Physician Yan Shi-jun, who operated on the young man, said that
the chances of surviving such a wound were one in ten thousand.
Those are pretty steep odds.
I bet he cheated.

Maybe this piece of news also cheated too.
PRCs are well-known to brag for insignificant things.
