There's "break stuff" gamer tilt, then there's "book a flight from New Jersey to Florida to attack an online opponent with a hammer and get arrested on charges of attempted murder" gamer tilt.

Twenty-year-old Edward Kang recently experienced the latter, and on Tuesday, the Nassau County Sheriff's Office briefed the press on the wild case.

NEW: New Jersey gamer hopped on a flight to Florida to beat a fellow gamer with a hammer over an online dispute.

This may be the most insane case of 'tilt' in history.

Sheriff Bill Leeper told reporters, “Some things make you say hmm. Some things you just can’t make up. There are some things that make you say, ‘What in the world was he thinking?’ And there are some things that make you say, ‘You’re not gonna believe this.’ Well, this case makes you say all four of those.”

Kang is accused of going well past full tilt over the MMO game ArcheAge. Sherriff Leeper explained that Kang booked a flight and arrived in Florida at 2 a.m. Friday morning. He went to a hardware store and purchased a hammer. He then broke into his victim's house and commenced the attack. The victim's stepfather stepped in and the two were able to restrain Kang until police arrived.

Kang told police that his victim was a "bad person online" before asking them how much jail time he faced for breaking and entering and assault.

Social media was split between condemning Kang, ironically praising him, and joking or memeing about their own tilt moments. While many were firm in their belief that one should not travel great distances to beat a video game opponent with a hammer, some joked that they wished they had that commitment.

Leeper said Kang can expect to not play video games again for a "long time," and when he does, he will not be able to play ArcheAge, which coincidentally shut down its European and North American servers today.
