Not really of course. Game Politics stumbled upon a raw nugget of news joy a few days back over at money.co.uk. The story goes that hard-partying seventh grader Ralph Hardy of Texas snagged his father’s credit card and proceeded to, as the kids say, do it up. Hardy and his pals dropped almost thirty grand and in the process got themselves an Xbox 360, as copy of Halo 3, a swank motel room, and a few top notch ladies of the night.
Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.
61 Frames Per Second wishes they could salute Mr. Hardy but the hard hitting reporters at stuff.co.nz have all but confirmed that the story’s a tall-tale. Sadness.
