Man causes a blackout in hospital, blames Silent Hill

[Zeus]

A 35 year old man recently caused a blackout in a Hospital in the Netherlands and blamed his actions solely on a video game - Silent Hill. The man claimed that he suffered a psychosis which led him to believe that shutting down the power of the hospital would allow him to acquire a toothbrush which is needed to complete a Silent Hill puzzle.

<blockquote>A 35 year old man, known only as "Jan H.", recently caused a blackout at the Sophia Hospital in the Netherlands because he thought he was in Silent Hill.

While no one was seriously hurt during the 45 minute blackout, Jan caused a huge disturbance. Elevators became stuck and workers had to manually respirate the patients in the intensive care unit.

Last week in court Jan claimed that he suffered a psychosis in the hospital which led him to believe that shutting down the hospital's power would allow him to acquire a toothbrush that was needed to complete a Silent Hill puzzle.</blockquote>

Here is a mental patient. What center with video games?.

He hasn't said he was inspired by Silent Hill.

This is just a journalistic invention.

Yeah... I don't know but the moment you realize you are crazy.... I think it means you really aren't crazy at all, just an irresponsible/pathetic/sorry-ass "person". I guess he played too much mario in his childhood; you know eating funny mushrooms can do things to you.
