Hans Jørgen Olsen, a 12-year-old Norwegian boy, saved himself and his sister from a moose attack using skills he picked up playing the online role playing game World of Warcraft..
Hans and his sister got into trouble after they had trespassed the territory of the moose during a walk in the forest near their home. When the moose attacked them, Hans knew the first thing he had to do was 'taunt' and provoke the animal so that it would leave his sister alone and she could run to safety. 'Taunting' is a move one uses in World of Warcraft to get monsters off of the less-well-armored team members.
Once Hans was a target, he remembered another skill he had picked up at level 30 in 'World of Warcraft' – he feigned death. The moose lost interest in the inanimate boy and wandered off into the woods. When he was safely alone Hans ran back home to share his tale of video game-inspired survival.

Wow, that's a brave child that really loves his sister! I am not in favour of playing video games but I am glad to see that they can have a positive influence in some rare cases. Thank God both children managed to get to safety!

cracked minecraft download
Kids can spend hours with their friends discussing games they enjoy and even watching each other play, to learn how to play a game. As with most games today, Minecraft has a multiplayer version and also a single player version. Next you will need to burn the ISO you just downloaded to CD or USB drive.

Oh yeah, he learned "taunt" from Warcraft just as he learned "sprint", "hide" and "chat". Presumably he later quested his mother to craft him his favourite dish as a quest reward. Good thing the moose hadn't skilled "trample" or this highly interesting tale would have escaped our esteemed notice.

had he used the skills he learned on GTA he would have a new car, a hoe and lots of money. instead he's still a little nerd running around with a stick in the woods with his ugly sister.

Now, if he wants to level up anytime soon he's going to have to defeat at least 3 moose. He's just too low of a level for a bear to be an appropriate foe for him to fight.

I'm so glad he played a hunter. It wouldn't work as well if he was a warlock like I was. Imagine trying to throw curses at the moose. And let's not even talk about sicking demon pets on it.

Seriously? wtf. It's common sense to get the moose off your sister and then play dead. It's basic natural instinct. Claiming that PoS game had anything to do with it is retarded.

What a moose-shit! Indians knew such tricks 1000 years ago. I learned it from nature documentaries as a child. Cheap stunt to promote a moronic game. Besides, these tricks don't always work, moose is no fool at all.
Posted on
Why do you want to know?
You know, all you people who actually play World of Warcraft should actually hope this kid is telling the truth and be praising his actions instead of trolling and being assholes... On a serious note this is actually a wonderful thing for gaming in general (not just WoW) because it proves that games aren't "bad" and "corrupting society"... Last time I checked most books and programs on the discovery channel say nothing of how to fend off a Moose attack... GG to all the retarded assholes who say "Zah mah gawd! Video games r bad!! They corrupt mah childrenz!" <--- Fucking fail ass parents.

Good that WoW teaches such things, though I wonder if he'd prepared for the consequences had his skill attempt failed for whatever reason. Doing such things on a server has a much lower fail penalty in real life... That said, kudos to the kid for his resourcefulness and bravery. Presence of mind ++
