SOME gamers will go to great lengths to have just one more hour with their console, but one youngster has admitted to drugging his girlfriend so he could keep playing.
A 23-year-old German gaming addict has been fined after he slipped his girlfriend a sedative, The Local reports.
Unsurprisingly, the two are no longer together.
The court in the eastern German town of Caxtrop-Rauxel heard the man was playing on his games console with a friend when his girlfriend returned from work about 10pm in August last year.
After a 10-hour shift, she had been planning to unwind with some peace and quiet, but her partner had other ideas, preferring the racket of video games and gunfire.
So he sedated her.
“I only put four or five drops into her tea,” he told the court.
But the 24-year-old woman remained knocked out until noon the following day, and the effects of the drugs kept her nodding off through the day.
She told the court the man confessed to her what he had done and she added he had been on drugs at the time, which eventually caused their breakup in the following days.
The judge ordered the man to pay a $746 fine.
“Your girlfriend slept long and deeply, which didn’t harm her, but this is certainly a premeditated bodily harm,” the judge said.
The ex-boyfriend admitted “it was stupid” but said he was now “on a straight path” after staying off drugs for 10 months, and was soon to start an apprenticeship.
