Troll as gamer

There's a great passage in this account of meeting a troll face-to-face.  

The victim confronts his tormentor, who breaks down and explains his actions:

I put my hand on his shoulder and asked him "Why?"

The Troll sat there for a moment and said "I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry. It was like a game thing."

A game thing.

So, that's what it was...

This is a good example of the classic game criticism, that games teach bad behavior.

The picture is kinda weird. Is that a statue of a troll?
