Boy of 13 was found hanging from his school tie by his father just hours after a family argument over a Nintendo Wii computer game.
Jake Roberts had celebrated his birthday just days before, and had used some of his birthday money to buy a computer game for his Wii console.
But when he returned to the family's semi-detached home on 11 February this year, he found his sister was watching the television.
An argument developed and his father confiscated the game with Jake fleeing to his room, where he was discovered hours later.
The talented teenager, described as a sensitive boy with a fantastic imagination enjoyed writing stories and poems and even had one verse published after his school entered it into a competition.
The inquest heard evidence from Jake's devastated parents, Andrea and John, who lived with their son and daughter in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
Andrea, a bank clerk, became tearful as she recalled how her son had stormed off to his room after being told he could not play on the game.
She said: 'We gave him some money for his birthday so he went out and bought a computer game.
'When he came back he wanted to play it but his sister was using the television.
'He had a temper tantrum and stormed off upstairs.'
Dad John, a printer, said: 'The first thing I saw when I walked in to Jake's bedroom was all the paper he had ripped up on the floor during his tantrum.
'The door was open with his bed to my left behind the door. I was going to tell him off when I turned. It took me a few seconds to register what I was seeing.'
'His school tie was round his neck and he was hung from his cabin bed. I tried to lift him and his tie was attached to a bar on the bed.'
An ambulance was called and Jake was rushed to Scarborough Hospital, but he was pronounced dead two days later as a result of hanging.
John continued: 'I honestly don't think he meant to hang himself. I think he was mad about the computer game and just did something stupid.'
Andrea added that the family had watched an episode of the BBC drama Casualty together weeks, before which had featured a young person hanging themselves.
She said: 'It did occur to us a few weeks after this happened that we had seen a Casualty programme on a Saturday night at about 8pm.
'This had shown a hanging. I know I was really shocked they had shown it at that time.
'But I don't think anything he had seen influenced him. When he was younger he had a bit of a temper and he'd had tantrums with us before. '
Recording a verdict of accidental death at the inquest in Scarborough Coroner Michael Oakley said: 'There is no evidence whatsoever that he took things he had seen into account.
'He didn't have any particular temper tantrums other than those you would expect from someone who had just become a teenager.
'There had been a minor argument. The circumstances in which he was found do not suggest to me this was a deliberate act to end his life.'
In a statement after the verdict, Jake's grieving parents said: 'Jake was a kind, caring and sensitive boy who had a wonderfully dry sense of humour and huge potential for the future.
'He had a special and unique talent for writing stories which stemmed from a fantastic imagination.
'We love him so very much and miss him more and more with each passing day, and are still struggling to come to terms with his loss.'
Jake was a popular pupil at St Augustine's Roman Catholic secondary school in the town and a page on social networking site Bebo has been dedicated to him.
It features emotional tributes from school friends. One reads 'your face just made my face light up in a way, just to see your big cheesy grin. Miss you loads'.
Another simply says: 'Miss you every single day you have a special place in everyone's heart.'

What a terrible story my heart goes out to the family

News/release from Squidman:
Touhou Fangame is a homemade version of Touhou for the Wii. It is written from scratch with images from the internet, GRRLIB 2.0, and Sndlib.
Touhou is a danmaku shooter praised for being difficult, beautiful. This attempts to replicate all those things. The second beta release is out! Enjoy the beautiful danmaku-ness of the Touhou Fangame!
Latest download is always here: http://otokoyariika.vectorfive.net/wii/Touhou.zip If you are looking for a specific release, check the releases section.
That zip contains 3 more zips, one for the HBC, one with the source, and one more with special tools I wrote to assist me in writing this.
Requests
These are things YOU can do to help the development of this program.
Graphics
Well, I would greatly appreciate if someone could make a new level 1 background, preferably a very tall one so I don't have to use this crappy, half-ass scrolling of mine. Also, if anybody can, I would like some boss chat pictures (anybody who has played Touhou will know what I am talking about) for the following characters: Eirin, Shinki, Reisen, Alice, Marisa, and Reimu.
More requests will come later. Please post all submissions in the talk page.

Our ears perked up last week when we saw Capcom had filed the title Mega Man 9 with Australia's Classification Review Board (down under's version of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board). It's been over ten years since we were blessed with a proper new Mega Man game. Now it looks like the next entry in the series is set for Nintendo's WiiWare service.
Fansite The Mega Man Network has gotten its hands on a couple (blurry) scans from the next issue of Nintendo Power. The screenshots look like the classic 8-bit Mega Man we all know and love. Capcom is apparently going old school with this one. Mega Man Network lists the following robot bad guys:- Magma Man
- Galaxy Man
- Jewel Man
- Concrete Man
- Hornet Man
- Plug Man
- Tornado Man
- Splash WOMAN (although this isn't confirmed, yet)
Mega Man 9 is being developed by Inti Creates, a team made up of former Capcom devs that brought us the first three Mega Man X games, Mega Man Zero, and the Mega Man ZX series.

Today Electronic Arts announced a sequel to last year's music game, Boogie. Titled Boogie SuperStar, it seems to ignore the first entry and its weirdo characters. Instead, this time out players will be dancing and singing with customizable cartoon girls. EA says there will be millions of possible characters to create. The game will include over 40 songs from artists like Rihanna, Fergie, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Good Charlotte, Britney Spears, and Kanye West.
Versions of the game aimed outside the U.S. will include local artists from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. EA is apparently still holding onto its ace in the hole – a "global music sensation" who will act as Boogie Superstar's featured artist and help promote the game.
"Boogie SuperStar promotes self-expression, creativity and empowerment for girls worldwide," said Robert Nashak, VP of Casual Studios, EA Casual Entertainment. "We have created a game where girls don't just observe someone else's rise to fame, they experience it themselves, singing and dancing their way through a world most girls only dream about."
The premise is that players are "discovered" and taken to a mysterious island to learn how to become a star. Two- and four-player modes will be available for co-op and versus play.
Boogie SuperStar will set you back $59.99 and includes a microphone.

New version out, heres the details:
DS Game Maker improves on the powerful engine of XtenDS providing a fast, clean and useful environment for developing DS Games. Not only can you visually piece together characters, scenes, and scoring, you can add Wifi, Rumble and sound without having to know any programming!
Unlike any other program of it's kind, DS Game Maker has a comprehensive manual which will set you on the track of making great DS Games. And when you think your game is good, you can upload it to the dsgamemaker.com community for others to play.
Click here to download DS Game Maker.
With DS Game Maker
Visually plot and organize sprites in the room designer
Add a vast range of actions to your game, including basic 3D support
Customize the whole development experience
Share your games with the dsgamemaker.com community
+ 256 color sprite problem solved! (but you can't add more than 16 sprites to your project on the left... but 16's enough until we sort that out. At least you can work again.)
+ Slight tweaks in upload to site process, backgrounds larger than 256x192 do not affect the screen shot size any more.
+ 3 actions fixed: Init FAT and Play Sound MP3 and Create Sprite (after the new system was introduced in this version).
+ Transition In and Transition Out - you can now use constants instead of numbers, .e.g. LEFTRIGHT, FROMCENTER, STARS, DIAMONDS for the shapes and directions.
+ Fixed a crappy little bug with registration.
Still to fix/make/do:
+ Font chooser
+ Sprite transparency on/off (button is there, does nothing)
+ Global actions list

SEGA has joined the chorus of PRs clarifying release dates issued en masse by Nintendo yesterday, telling Eurogamer that there's no Beijing 2008 for Wii or Sonic Unleashed for DS despite listings for both.
Sonic Unleashed is due out on Wii though, with SEGA listing the Wii, PS2, PS3 and 360 versions for November, and the listing for Samba de Amigo Wii in September does match up to the publisher's recent projections.
Meanwhile, The Incredible Hulk is indeed out now on DS and due out next month on Wii, and BioWare's Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is also down for September.
We're glad that's all straightened out.

Nintendo's WiiWare service is going to be expanding beyond games shortly. Sun Denshi announced today plans to distribute digital comics through the Japanese version of the service starting later this summer.
The company will be forming a new Sunsoft Books brand for distributing content through the service. Wii owners will be able to view the digital comics using a viewer application that was developed internally at Sun.
Sun is kicking off the new initiative in a major way, with an original manga produced by Reiji Matsumoto, creator of the Space Battleship Yamato series. The company plans on first distributing the manga through the new WiiWare service, then expanding the new property to games, anime, books, pachinko and other media.

Newly released:
Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk is the continuation of Tales of Symphonia from the Game Cube era. Due to Loyd's and Collette's efforts, the land has merged and this led to a change in climate and natural environment. Aside from the environmental disturbances, the social gaps between the former continents Silverland and Teseara are getting wider.
Since Teseara is prosperous and technically advanced, its residents has always been looking down on Silverland. Being unfairly treated, the Silverlands blame Teseara, Loyd and Collette for their misfortunes. Skirmishes and violence become increasingly intense and eventually leads to the blood bath of Panacosta where large numbers of innocents die.
The sequel to the popular RPG features both old and new heroes and wraps up the lose ends from the previous game. Prove to the people that creatures of different races can live together in peace, this much awaited game features a battle system which allows you to make allies out of beasts and monsters.

Summon Night 2's official site for the DS remake has been updated with some proper things now. Click the bottom right link to get some movies, which have animation from Production I.G. if you care about that sort of thing. The main point with this game is that it's a 2D tactics RPG, and is by Flight Plan, for whom I have an irrational love. It will also probably have way too much text, as per normal. I'm still waiting for a Black Matrix A/D port!
