"You ruined my life." "No, I LIVED it." Ouch... that line hurt my soul... This was... REALLY good! I really enjoyed Doug's character, and it got me thinking about a lot of things. Very well done.
The main point is, we use video games to live the lives we never will get to live and do the things we feel we may never get to do. We *want* the adventurous life of being brave and bold but we don't realize that being heroic isn't impossible. We should be more appreciative with the endless possibilities in our modern lives. We are so consumed with our own dreaming and role playing that we forget about the adventure around us.
I like how Doug listens to his own advice. :~) In most other films, this protagonist would've had some sort of dumb redemption at the end, and his girlfriend would've come back for him, etc. Awesome work.
It's interesting to note that, with Doug Walkers other silly films... It's nice to see he actually CAN act. Mind you it is B-movie material, but still not too shabby. With some tweaking and a bigger budget, I can see something akin to this actually being theater-worthy.
"I wish life was more like you, SkyGuard"I was expecting a magical world-changing nonsense to happen making our world more like the Skyrim world with dragons and mages, and the protagonist's main quest is to change everything back to normal before an evil overlord takes control of both worlds, not bringing a character from the game to our world and ruin this guy's life forever. Opportunity lost. But its a good enough film.
Thought this was going to be more funny, but had a very serious message. Wish the protagonist had had a chance to redeem himself. But, sometimes we have to learn the hard way.
Better than most films out there, that's for sure. Doug, I don't understand why you and your brother aren't film directors! Not only was this movie well done, but it was thought provoking as well. I didn;t understand the full message until the very end. I didn;t even know what was going to happen until the very end!
Thank you :) Why isnt Doug Walker the next big writer, director actor. He, his brother too, put so much work and thought into film. I cry to think whats popular film art these days. But thank you for seeing what i see :)
terrainturmoil141 We've seen the Coen Brothers and we've seen the (formerly) Wachowski Brothers. Now it's time for Hollywood to meet the Walker Brothers.
They havent done anything quite like this but "suburban knights" was very funny and if you are a big fan of the that guy with the glasses crew you should enjoy "to boldly flee". Ah Doug Walker :) how can we thank you enough :)
I'm going to sound completely stupid here but we're you the guy? If so I thought that character was the real highlight both comically and dramatically, as well as the rare 'serious' performance by Doug :D
LeBron and Jimbroth are my favorite characters in this, because of how well they work in this movie, Jimbroth being sort of like an innocent who doesn't get the modern world and LeBron being the funny boss. Those 2 made this movie
I know!! Its the combination of his attitude, sense of humor and mannerisms . I think doug may be one of the hottest men ever!! Hes the real thing. Rare these days.
Channel Awesome, I am about to give you guys the biggest compliment I could possibly give this film: by rewatching it!!! Yes, I just came across it last night and all I can say is I couldn't wait to come home from work today to watch it again. In all sincerity, this is the kind of work that makes me a little envious, almost wishing "geez I wish I had come up with this." But of course, I could not have pulled it off quite like you guys did. So what else can I say? Awesome job Channel Awesome! don't forget about us the little people when you all finally get your BIG big break!
Very entertaining movie. A man that has it all, being consumed by fantasy till it turns on him as reality. Great writing, It felt like watching a present day Twilight Zone episode. Would love to see more of this type of movies been made; mystery and humor with a lesson at the end.
I normally hate the trope in which a supernatural character is treated as a whimsical guy who's loved by everyone. But Doug Walker makes it work. Well done, guys. :)
well this was strange, in the past i have heard Doug criticize the fish out of water storyline as both himself and the nostalgia critic, seems odd he would use what could have been an opportunity for a much more comedically funny film with a small portion of satire and very limited room for plot. At least with his past work with to boldly flee and suburban knights there was references in comedic fashion but also a somewhat interesting plot, this just seems convoluted and i am sorry to say, a little lazy in terms of a storyline. I love Doug walker and his work but i feel he took the easy route with this idea, such a shame
Ok that shit was Hilarious!!!!!!! Best movie i've seen in a while! Man i gota say very underated! Anyone thats ever played Skyrim should have a blast watching this! I just bought the legendary edition of it and watching this movie along with the game was great! Excellent acting, writing and camera work. I give it a 10, SUPERB!
This movie is VERY well-written! Wacky Twilight Zone take at the beginning. The actors are out of their N.C. realm and creating new characters! Even the little girl is funny. If the guy was part of this world, feeding alcoholic beverages to a child COULD be .....SUSPICIOUS. The toilet scene was.... tragic but hilarious! Jessica/ Rachel sounded like Linda Blair. Again, FANTASTIC WORK, ALL!!!
Agreed. Single with a job that leaves me time to play and provides money enough to pay the bills, buy games, improve my PC and have savings for any eventuality that may happen and life is treating me real good. What I don't get is why he never invited his friends home or why he saved so much stuff for when he "beats the game"...
Carl got what he deserved he thought he could just play the game and everything would work out the point that he neglected his Girlfriend and ignored his job, then when the character he made came to life he acted like Doug’s character accomplishments were his when really all he did was play a game. Hell teachnically Doug’s character was actually doing the work in the game since Carl wasn’t actually in that world he was just controlling/telling what Doug’s character was doing then he has the gal to blame Doug’s character when it was all his fault to begin with
AS lightning said:Moral is:Don't let reality escape your clutches.That is why i quit mmorpgs ages ago.5 hours playing an mmorpg or more, without being able to quit is ridiculous.I mean:Its fun, but then i would have no life.
Wow, the guy tried to work hard and make money for himself and his girlfriend, but just for few weeks he wanted to relax in game, and then his gf blamed everything that happened in movie on him, AND THEN he got sucked in the game, where he suffered and died multiple times? What's the fucking moral here?
For free content on the internet... this is some amazing acting. I love this video. tried to find it on thatguywiththeglasses but no luck. Anyways, good to see it again, been a while. The part with the friends and the magic strip game reminds me of my own friends. I'd love to go out drinking with them some time, been a while :P
Hello all just have to say this video was Fucking fantastic and absolute genius just think how many bad movies doug has watched as the nostalgia critic and he could make movies a million times better all along HAHAHA
That was awesome! You guys a genius!! I thoughly enjoyed watching this!! I didn't sit down the whole time lol! Acting, story, everything was brilliant! :-D :-D :-D.
This was better then i thought it would be, the writing and acting is better then in his previous movies. In my opnion....even tho the other three movies were cheesy, that's really what made them funny and entertaining
i loved it, but it also aggrivated me a little, im one of those people that are of the belief that you can ALWAYS change your life around, i hate the idea that it ever becomes too late, unless your rottign in the pits of hell/the ground (depending on your religious and or aethiestic beliefs) then their is always time to change, i mean sure, you can say that if you don't change soon enough people leave and you lose friends and stuff, but even if all your friends are gone, your girlfriend leaves you, ad your alone, you should still change, cuz the next thing that happens could always end up for the best by the time your done, atleast that's my take on life, never to late to fix yourself and or your problems, great though, loved the movie^^
kind of reminded me of that french movie where a knight gets warped into modern day france and learns to cope with the weird modern technology etc. this has a better twist though good job
dannyboi451 Well, this was to show a different take of anniversary movies Doug made. And technically each of the little shows in Uncanny Valley were made by different reviewers, not just Doug and Rob Walker. If you hate one part, you can blame the different writers.
I like the Webmaster bits of the whole thing (This one and Dragged In are fine, but the rest of them other than the Webmaster parts are either boring or something I've heard before in High School). They remind me of a thing I do with my Halloween comics where a host and his Co-host (usually a female) are in a spooky setting but wind up getting into some comical situations. The whole thing is usually wrapped up in the end part with something ridiculous.
Im trying to let go of this Skyrim addiction. As soon as I saw the game at the beginning, Man!! Was I getting pulled back... Used to play 8 hours a day non-stop. Thanks to the damaged Graphic card, it's come to a stop.....for now.
I didn't know NC was into Skyrim (unless I'm mistaken and that he really doesn't), either way, love the movie. And the ending did hit me a bit, it's like that you can waste your time on games and you should always share your time with people around you. And this is coming from someone who is addicted to Skyrim. (Surprising how last semester my grades didn't go down, they most likely will this semester.)
I've not heard of a the Korean kid story(probably because it's bullshit - meaning: not real.But then again, there are only so many things that I'm aware of...and it's a human we're talking about here.) However, I'll say this: It's not the game's fault for what would have/actually did happen, it's partially the kid's fault, and mostly his parent's. If such a thing were to/did happen you could not blame it on the game as the person in question would have, obviously, been mentally ill - likely with a record of psychiatric problems. Though, that story does reminds me of the story about the parents from SK that let their real baby die whilst they were taking care of a virtual one...now that, my friends, is some seriously fucked up shit.
This movie gave me one of the most powerful lessons ever. To enjoy fantasy, but to treat every day of real life like an adventure.
Me too. I learned that the bag of douche does not replenish health.
domidium
Same here.
"I have a LIFE..."
"And I took it like a black Chuck Norris" was my favorite
This show up in anyone else's feed after watching Ralph's video?
"You ruined my life."
"No, I LIVED it."
Ouch... that line hurt my soul...
This was... REALLY good! I really enjoyed Doug's character, and it got me thinking about a lot of things. Very well done.
"Dragonbored;
Dragonbored;
Oh my God is he dull;
To protect the world was your ONE FUCKING JOB"
"you have harnessed the wind of the bowels" - classiest fart-joke in recorded history
+Fredrik Carlstedt "A dark, yet powerful magic."
Does it run on a soul gem
+Sara Connor BROWN soul gems.
Phone rings.."share me your burden"
+Fredrik Carlstedt tbh i think people did actually say that back then
So, apparently Doug Walker is cool enough to use "milady" speak and not have it repulse women within a five-block radius. The more you know!
The main point is, we use video games to live the lives we never will get to live and do the things we feel we may never get to do. We *want* the adventurous life of being brave and bold but we don't realize that being heroic isn't impossible. We should be more appreciative with the endless possibilities in our modern lives. We are so consumed with our own dreaming and role playing that we forget about the adventure around us.
AND I TOOK IT LIKE A BLACK CHUCK NORRIS
+Zach Sabel Segata Sanshiro is way better than chuck
"I'm I dead, Is this still Sky Guard." Funniest quote.
I like how Doug listens to his own advice. :~)
In most other films, this protagonist would've had some sort of dumb redemption at the end, and his girlfriend would've come back for him, etc.
Awesome work.
That was amazing! Brought up a lot of good points, characters were awesome, plot was entertaining, and production was great! A++! :D
Not fair that deserved at lest a A++++++
Dude, you're so right! :D
It's interesting to note that, with Doug Walkers other silly films... It's nice to see he actually CAN act. Mind you it is B-movie material, but still not too shabby. With some tweaking and a bigger budget, I can see something akin to this actually being theater-worthy.
We need a sequel to the room.
*****
You're looking too deep into it I think doug is just saying I can make a movie better than the ones I review bitchs.
*****
Doug said he made a movie called the room we need a sequel.
After seeing Jack and Jill (Adam Sandler) definitely!
Could totally see this as a major motion picture release. One of my favorite things Channel Awesome has ever done
"I wish life were more like you Skyguard."
Life IS more like Skyguard. Life is what Skyguard TRIES to be.
So true :)
"I wish life was more like you, SkyGuard"I was expecting a magical world-changing nonsense to happen making our world more like the Skyrim world with dragons and mages, and the protagonist's main quest is to change everything back to normal before an evil overlord takes control of both worlds, not bringing a character from the game to our world and ruin this guy's life forever. Opportunity lost. But its a good enough film.
+msmissjordan1 i think i have a theory of how the character got out of the game....maybe 2
Well, to be honest, the guy was a jerkass slacker.
How the heck did Doug Walker write something as good as THIS?!
Dude needs to lay off the Nostalgia Critic and get out there, ASAP.
DarthRushy Actually then was made when he had stopped doing Nostalgia Critic and was doing Demo Reel
DarthRushy he didnt write but hella good directing
@Darth, Zack and Mrking. Yes. This was amazing. Look what happens when brothers work together
+MrKingMP Rob writes a lot of the Nostalgia Critic stuff too, even though he rarely acts in it.
Thought this was going to be more funny, but had a very serious message. Wish the protagonist had had a chance to redeem himself. But, sometimes we have to learn the hard way.
I have to say, this was probably the most meaningful special channelawesome's ever produced. Kinda sad they didn't make one for 2014 though.
Better than most films out there, that's for sure.
Doug, I don't understand why you and your brother aren't film directors!
Not only was this movie well done, but it was thought provoking as well. I didn;t understand the full message until the very end. I didn;t even know what was going to happen until the very end!
Thank you :) Why isnt Doug Walker the next big writer, director actor. He, his brother too, put so much work and thought into film. I cry to think whats popular film art these days. But thank you for seeing what i see :)
terrainturmoil141 We've seen the Coen Brothers and we've seen the (formerly) Wachowski Brothers. Now it's time for Hollywood to meet the Walker Brothers.
agreed! Doug and Doug's brother, you shuld get paid for you fine work! --Wait... you are already... opps ;P
I understand perfectly why - This is horrible.
No!! U must be joking. This is great cinema!!! Why you say this??
So many Skyrim references! Such an amazingly written story with some great acting all around. Kudos to Doug especially! FOR SOVEN-STEIM XD
This... Was really well written
Yes it was. Glad you can see it. Take a look at chanel awesome and the nostalgia critic if you want more of this amazing entertainment and art
Sara Connor
To me this is one of his better works.
I agree. And i think that dougs brother rob actually wrote a lot of this.
They havent done anything quite like this but "suburban knights" was very funny and if you are a big fan of the that guy with the glasses crew you should enjoy "to boldly flee". Ah Doug Walker :) how can we thank you enough :)
Also watch his " ask that guy with the glasses" episodes. Those had me out of breath laughing
this is the secret ending for people that watched all of the other channel awesome movies
The guy who played Le Bron seemed to be having a lot of fun XD
He did. He did indeed. ;-)
I'm going to sound completely stupid here but we're you the guy? If so I thought that character was the real highlight both comically and dramatically, as well as the rare 'serious' performance by Doug :D
bloodrunsclear Indeed I was. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Fard Muhammad You performed well, good sir.
***** I'll see what I can do, but if you're on Facebook, you can message him at his official page. :) Thanks for the comments!
Fun, entertaining, relevant, likable, with a hint of playful sexyness, but always AWESOME!:)
Oh how I remember the first time I got Skyrim. I didn't leave my room for three weeks
LeBron and Jimbroth are my favorite characters in this, because of how well they work in this movie, Jimbroth being sort of like an innocent who doesn't get the modern world and LeBron being the funny boss. Those 2 made this movie
lol Best line "That's not a game! That's a life-style choice!" Funny because it is SO FREAKIN' TRUE of Skyrim.
I never thought the Nostalgia Critic a.k.a. Doug Walker could get so hot......But he did.
I know!! Its the combination of his attitude, sense of humor and mannerisms . I think doug may be one of the hottest men ever!! Hes the real thing. Rare these days.
Hey, he's a married man people! I have no idea to whom, because we never see her, but still!
I know hes married. I hope Mrs Walker knows how lucky she is
Good to see I’m not the only one who finds Doug Walker sexy.😉
that has to be one of the most epic things I have ever seen
Thank you. I agree. Oh doug and rob walker. You guys are awesome.
This feels like an actual early 2010s adult comedy movie due to the tone of this movie.
Channel Awesome, I am about to give you guys the biggest compliment I could possibly give this film: by rewatching it!!! Yes, I just came across it last night and all I can say is I couldn't wait to come home from work today to watch it again. In all sincerity, this is the kind of work that makes me a little envious, almost wishing "geez I wish I had come up with this." But of course, I could not have pulled it off quite like you guys did.

Very entertaining movie. A man that has it all, being consumed by fantasy till it turns on him as reality. Great writing, It felt like watching a present day Twilight Zone episode. Would love to see more of this type of movies been made; mystery and humor with a lesson at the end.
The guy at the beginning holding his phone with his foot was holding it backwards....
I normally hate the trope in which a supernatural character is treated as a whimsical guy who's loved by everyone. But Doug Walker makes it work. Well done, guys. :)
damn that was really good, I would've paid to see that
This was one of the best things I've seen. Beautiful.
well this was strange, in the past i have heard Doug criticize the fish out of water storyline as both himself and the nostalgia critic, seems odd he would use what could have been an opportunity for a much more comedically funny film with a small portion of satire and very limited room for plot.

I love Doug walker and his work but i feel he took the easy route with this idea, such a shame
I like how the theme tune to this movie sounds very Hans Zimmer.
Ok that shit was Hilarious!!!!!!! Best movie i've seen in a while! Man i gota say very underated! Anyone thats ever played Skyrim should have a blast watching this! I just bought the legendary edition of it and watching this movie along with the game was great! Excellent acting, writing and camera work. I give it a 10, SUPERB!
Damn, that ending is dark.
The bilbo baggins line gets me every time.
This short video taught me more about work ethic then i are to admit
Thanks for the powerful message
This was very well made! Props to you Doug, which btw I never knew your name was Doug.
This movie is VERY well-written! Wacky Twilight Zone take at the beginning. The actors are out of their N.C. realm and creating new characters! Even the little girl is funny. If the guy was part of this world, feeding alcoholic beverages to a child COULD be .....SUSPICIOUS. The toilet scene was.... tragic but hilarious! Jessica/ Rachel sounded like Linda Blair.
Again, FANTASTIC WORK, ALL!!!
Since I'm a big fan of Skyrim I really appreciated this movie. I think that the TGWTG team should make an actual movie based on Aura Scrolls Skyguard.
@7:36 Aan Ol's Digital Buttplug Of The Gods. Hahahaha!!! Awesome
Great film, just need better technical execution. It's funny and engaging. Doug should have kept trying.
Dude, why couldn't he just enjoy being single? I'm a game playing dude like him and I'm pretty happy.
Lol. I hope youre joking dude. If not you missed the point of the film. If you are joking....i should have known that. Lol
Agreed. Single with a job that leaves me time to play and provides money enough to pay the bills, buy games, improve my PC and have savings for any eventuality that may happen and life is treating me real good.
What I don't get is why he never invited his friends home or why he saved so much stuff for when he "beats the game"...
Answers phone -- "share me your burden" lol
Can you come to my funeral because I died lol.
This is hilarious from start to end XD
This would be a lot better if the lead guy was even remotely likeable.
jjmah7
I think the idea is that overtime he becomes more unlikable, thus encouraging gamers not to end up like him and let games take over our lives.
Dude this is freaking funny id wish they would do more
best part dougs acting was actually better then some big actors and I honestly think he should be aloud to do bigger things like this
Carl got what he deserved he thought he could just play the game and everything would work out the point that he neglected his Girlfriend and ignored his job, then when the character he made came to life he acted like Doug’s character accomplishments were his when really all he did was play a game. Hell teachnically Doug’s character was actually doing the work in the game since Carl wasn’t actually in that world he was just controlling/telling what Doug’s character was doing then he has the gal to blame Doug’s character when it was all his fault to begin with
AS lightning said:Moral is:Don't let reality escape your clutches.That is why i quit mmorpgs ages ago.5 hours playing an mmorpg or more, without being able to quit is ridiculous.I mean:Its fun, but then i would have no life.
I was evercracked and pokecracked.
this...this is..just amazing work. O_O
I know!!! Doug and Rob Walker. Awesome!!
Wow, the guy tried to work hard and make money for himself and his girlfriend, but just for few weeks he wanted to relax in game, and then his gf blamed everything that happened in movie on him, AND THEN he got sucked in the game, where he suffered and died multiple times? What's the fucking moral here?
Be careful what you wish for because you might get it.
And to treat life like an adventure, not like a burden.
I knew Doug was out of this world! Amazing! (and I usually don't like video game stuff) Robb & Doug Walker to the big screen! (& Rachel
For free content on the internet... this is some amazing acting. I love this video. tried to find it on thatguywiththeglasses but no luck. Anyways, good to see it again, been a while. The part with the friends and the magic strip game reminds me of my own friends. I'd love to go out drinking with them some time, been a while :P
This movie depressed me.
Ymir! *Points* frostbite spider!
Hello all just have to say this video was Fucking fantastic and absolute genius just think how many bad movies doug has watched as the nostalgia critic and he could make movies a million times better all along HAHAHA
Wow, this really was good! Cudos guys! Plus I love Doug, Malcolm and Rachel.. Really enjoyed this, thanks:)
this is actually enjoyable wth
i expected something terrible
"it's got some... bugs, some... BIG bugs..." Goddamnit Bethesda
That was awesome! You guys a genius!! I thoughly enjoyed watching this!! I didn't sit down the whole time lol! Acting, story, everything was brilliant! :-D :-D :-D.
I absolutely love this! Best video ever this week. :D
Doug doesn't play games, what a surprise!!
Such a one note story, the ending was kind of cool tho
LOL exactly how I was when I first bought Skyrim.
level 62, and the loading screen is 69 ..... nvm i just like this video
This was better then i thought it would be, the writing and acting is better then in his previous movies. In my opnion....even tho the other three movies were cheesy, that's really what made them funny and entertaining
hes like Roland Dechane the Gunslinger. only with a sword.
i loved it, but it also aggrivated me a little, im one of those people that are of the belief that you can ALWAYS change your life around, i hate the idea that it ever becomes too late, unless your rottign in the pits of hell/the ground (depending on your religious and or aethiestic beliefs) then their is always time to change, i mean sure, you can say that if you don't change soon enough people leave and you lose friends and stuff, but even if all your friends are gone, your girlfriend leaves you, ad your alone, you should still change, cuz the next thing that happens could always end up for the best by the time your done, atleast that's my take on life, never to late to fix yourself and or your problems, great though, loved the movie^^
his is true, but i stand by my point that it's NEVER too late to change, but i get what your sayin
DynomitePunch perhaps, but the movie would have been so cliched if it had the typical "protagonist learns lesson and turns life around" ending.
Forget about brag Pitt...doug sexiest man ever
I KNEW that someone out there had this opinion.
I just didn't expect to see it in the comments on a video where he's dressed like THAT. :~P
Yes!! Thank you for sharing my opinion. But the way doug is dressed in this vid just makes him more hot!!
This was really good!!! Can't wait for more story's !! Also yay!! Uncle yo!!
they should do a sequel but dark souls instead.
kind of reminded me of that french movie where a knight gets warped into modern day france and learns to cope with the weird modern technology etc. this has a better twist though good job
Somewhere between "Awesome" and "Really Awesome"
Damn, you should post the bloopers
So many funny, memorable lines!
Carl was a jerk
Awesome. Made in the tradition of Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits.
this is the biggest waste of dump ever made. it is nothing that the fans were expecting
I thought it was funny,had a creative plot and an important lesson in it but I understand not everyone liked it.
because it was crap. everyone expected when doug came back to do videos that he would collaborate on an actual tgwtg special
dannyboi451
Well, this was to show a different take of anniversary movies Doug made. And technically each of the little shows in Uncanny Valley were made by different reviewers, not just Doug and Rob Walker. If you hate one part, you can blame the different writers.
I guess.. but they could've made more effort
What!!!!!! :( :( :( :( this wad one of the most amazing films ive ever seen. Why you no like :( :(
Holy Crap! That was awesome!
I know!!!! This is better than most of the "movies" that come out these days.
Sara Connor hells yeah
That was good. It had a strong message. I just miss the epic grandness and crossover power like in to boldly flee.
Oh YEAH! Bravo! Hooray!
The sheer irony of the ending should never be forgotten.
I like the Webmaster bits of the whole thing (This one and Dragged In are fine, but the rest of them other than the Webmaster parts are either boring or something I've heard before in High School). They remind me of a thing I do with my Halloween comics where a host and his Co-host (usually a female) are in a spooky setting but wind up getting into some comical situations. The whole thing is usually wrapped up in the end part with something ridiculous.
He put the game in backwards into the book case. What fresh hell is this?!
Why does my microwave look like a yard sale hosted by Bilbo Baggins?
You care much for master Carl don't you
Such love should not go unrewarded.
his movie needed the cinema snob
Im trying to let go of this Skyrim addiction. As soon as I saw the game at the beginning, Man!! Was I getting pulled back...
Used to play 8 hours a day non-stop. Thanks to the damaged Graphic card, it's come to a stop.....for now.
This guy was holding the phone with his foot XD
Good Movie with a Good Moral, but i doubt any of the actual "players" will even notice it.
I didn't know NC was into Skyrim (unless I'm mistaken and that he really doesn't), either way, love the movie. And the ending did hit me a bit, it's like that you can waste your time on games and you should always share your time with people around you. And this is coming from someone who is addicted to Skyrim. (Surprising how last semester my grades didn't go down, they most likely will this semester.)
It's a pretty fun game, but i put only 26 hours in on Skyrim, and over 50 on Garry's Mod. :P
I have no idea how I got here
"bountiful amounts of Cheese and Ham!"
I've not heard of a the Korean kid story(probably because it's bullshit - meaning: not real.But then again, there are only so many things that I'm aware of...and it's a human we're talking about here.) However, I'll say this:
It's not the game's fault for what would have/actually did happen, it's partially the kid's fault, and mostly his parent's.
If such a thing were to/did happen you could not blame it on the game as the person in question would have, obviously, been mentally ill - likely with a record of psychiatric problems.
Though, that story does reminds me of the story about the parents from SK that let their real baby die whilst they were taking care of a virtual one...now that, my friends, is some seriously fucked up shit.
