GNotW: Gamer Saves Family from Inferno

April 27, 2007 at 5:10 pm by swivel  

A 9-year-old boy’s habit of rising early each morning to play videogames may have saved his life and the other 6 members of his family.

Davien Hayden has made it a habit of getting up very early to play some videogames before he goes to school. While non-gamers are sleeping in like a bunch of lazy fucks, this diligent boy is up first thing every morning saving the princess and leveling up. But this last Tuesday, Davien was forced to put his gaming lessons to the test.

The first thing he noticed was the sound of breaking glass. Then came the acrid smell of smoke. Davien knew something was amiss from his hours of playing SimCity 2000, and cried for everyone to get out of the house. It didn’t take long before the home was a raging inferno.

The family has given Davien all the credit for saving their lives this week, but all Davien is quoted as saying is, “Too much fame, dude.” The kid is a true hero. Every morning from 6:15 to 7:45 and for two hours right after school and before he does his homework.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and I am really hoping that the kid didn’t have an improperly ventilated XBox 360.

Here is the source of the story. Or discuss this in the forums.
