Just gonna drop this here for discussion...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...ord-from-legend-of-zelda-video-game-in-public

The article is vague on the actual situation and the individual however... Who exactly was the "victim" that recieved a payout and for why?? Victim of what exactly as there were no threats or anything related to that. Why jail time and not just confiscate it?

Will he wake up in the jail and be told he's on a quest to save the Princess?? Too many questions here!


Community notice: Anthony Bray is a repeat offender with a long rap sheet and numerous prison sentences, several of which were for burglary including serial burglary. In 2011, Bray was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison after getting “three strikes” for burgling residences. His run-ins with the law go back to 1989 and he was in court numerous times throughout the 90s as well. Also, the blade on the replica had been sharpened and he was in fact carrying around a 10 inch knife.

The police in the UK are very useless, they cannot tell the difference between what is real and what isn't.

To be fair to the police on this one, the blade looks pretty real? I'd assume it's one of the smaller letter opener type replicas, and if they have a zero tollerance approach to knives, a sentence is understandable for just having it out in the open in a public space.

If the guy is a first time offender I would like to think that a fine and confiscation would make more sense, but if there was a "victim" that might change things, depending on what ended up happening.

I updated the article with this, as the guy had a string of other offenses.

The article fails to mention a few things:

The guy is a serial burglar and repeat offender; as papers would say, "known to the police". The prop sword was sharpened and was in effect a knife. UK laws prohibit knives with a cutting edge longer than 3 inches in public (without "valid reason"), this one is six inches. Doesn't sound like much but with the proper technique and enough foreplay you'll feel it :creep:

Just to put it into perspective, 6 inch knives are prohibited in most public spaces even in Texas, and you really can't accuse Texas of having strict weapons laws :tpi:



Okay enough srs bsnss for one topic, I want a game that starts out as a standard Zelda game but as you progress it is revealed you're some random lunatic going around smashing stuff.
