A Judge in Australia has stated that he waited in line for the midnight launch of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. Upon purchasing it he then went home and played into the wee hours of the morning. Of course that made him extremely groggy the next morning and so instead of going in to wield the hammer of justice, he pulled a sickie, played hookie, and stayed home to sleep and probably blast more virtual villains.

Perhaps this was all due to frustration in his inability to put real perps behind bars (purely hypothetical there). What I really love about the story is that not only is he a gamer judge in one of thoe most restrictive governments in regards to video game violence, but he was in fact playing a violent video game and he’s 48-years-old.

WAY TO GO JUDGE! I didn’t go look up his name because it’s not important, what is important is that he’s a gamer and a judge.
