An armed gang of four kidnapped one of the world's top RPG gamers after one criminal's girlfriend lured him into a fake date using Orkut, Google's social network. After sequestering him in Sao Paulo, they held a gun against the victim's head for five hours to get his password, which they wanted to sell for $8,000. And yes, the story gets even better.

Surprisingly enough, after five hours the hostage wasn't talking. The group leader had a gun against his head all that time but the guy didn't say a word. At that point, the crooks gave up and decided to let him go. The brazilian police then caught the four suspects, aged 19 to 27.

According to the police, the captive is the world leader in GunBound, a turn-based RPG-****multiplayer online game. Developed in South Korea, in this artillery game you get more experience points, offensive and defensive capabilities depending on your skills during battle, as well as money to buy more weapons, armor and all kinds of gear for your multiple avatars. You can only play with one of your avatars each time, but all of them belong to a single account.

The game looks to be quite popular, so the four gangsters decided they could make some quick cash if they kidnapped him to steal his user. Their plan: use one of the criminal's girlfriends, called Tamires, to get him into a date using Google's online social network Orkut, which is also extremely popular in Brazil. After contacting and seducing him, she told the GunBound wizard to meet her in a shopping mall.

But she never appeared. Instead, Igor the boyfriend did. Gun in hand, he abducted and held the player prisoner, planning to rely the password to his mates using a cellphone. Against all odds, our hero (or very stupid guy) resisted. Probably using some Stamina +357 spell. Or a Big Cojones +577 mana potion.

Whatever he did to resist the torture for a stupid game password, boys and girls, there's a moral to this story: if you live in Brazil, keep playing Tetris.

Now THAT is hardcore. Resisting giving up his password.

Hermits on this board could only hope to be half as hardcore as him.

Darkly comic and ultimately horrific, much like the movie City of God, from which that cleverly Photoshopped picture is taken. This thread wins.

Robbed at gunpoint ........over GUNBOUND? The irony and depravity is equally as hilarious. If you're going to rob someone, atleast make it worthwhile like WoW so you can sell it for mass profit.

You're a hermit wannabe compared to that man. The way he used a silence potion on himself was awesome. That was hardcore.

This guy would make a fortune with, "They pointed a gun to my head, and I didn't give up my Gunbound password" tee shirts. This man is a hero to gamers everywhere.

Sounds like somebody needs to learn the difference between hardcore and just plain stupid. There was nothing hardcore about what that guy did. But there was alot of stupidity being tossed around in that situation.

Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Who risks death to save a password for a game? That guy should be shot anyway.

My reaction to those admiring this guy for not giving his password is unbeleiveable. Just let me get this straight, if he would have had his brains splattered all over the inside of this car would he still be your hero? I know alot of you act tough and perhaps in your mind think that you could do the same thing, and for your parents sake I hope you don't. This is a classic case of someone prorities screwed all to hell based on a false feeling that gaming actually will effect your life you go without it. Reminds me of some of those WoW players when they do a /played and look at 3-4 months of the year. Sorry if I went off on a tangent but I seriously would love to see Darwin use this guy as an example.
