First off, the cell phone is hardly damaged by a 45 cal. Sure.
Secondly, that bullet would be much more damaged than the perfectly new one they showed.

Oh, and watch some MythBusters.

They performed the same test on Mythbusters with an Ipod and proved it was BS. Had it been some kind of deflection then maybe, but then the bullet would not have been in such good shape. I think it is a case of the victim experiencing the event without having full knowledge of what was happening then making an assumption.

true or not that guy got a second chance and not everyone gets a seconds chance so he should be grateful

noxeven6381d ago

Didnt mythbusters already bust this?

If a bullet was stopped by the phone, it's safe to say it wouldn't have really harmed him anyway.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
