​​The Washington Post ​shed light Thursday on one of the most bizarre stories of the year. An Oregon woman allegedly attacked her boyfriend with a samurai sword, in part because he was playing too much PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS.





Suspect Emily Javier supposedly attacked her boyfriend, Alex "Biggie" Lovell, with a samurai sword, according to ​an affidavit signed by police. The attack was brought on by suspicions of unfaithfulness, negligence, and, of course, his habit of playing just a little too much PUBG, the popular battle royale game.

The Oregonian interviewed Lovell, who survived the alleged attack, over Facebook Messenger. And that's where this already crazy story kind of goes off the rails.





Lovell ​recalled the incident, saying: " I didn’t see it coming, but it makes sense that it happened. She obviously didn’t want anyone else to have me, so — samurai sword."





Lovell, who told the Oregonian he has become a pretty well-known name in his local gaming scene, also said he had started playing PUBG up to 12-13 hours per day.





"I wasn't a sweaty nerd, more of an Ethlete," he told the Oregonian.





The PUBG habit combined with allegations of cheating -- Javier found a Tinder app on Lovell's phone, sexually suggestive scratches on his back, and red hair in the couple's shower drain, according to the police report -- led to the alleged attack.





Lovell sustained serious injuries to his leg, torso, neck, head, and nearly lost a couple of his fingers, according to the Oregonian. His PUBG friends, meanwhile, have started a GoFundMe to pay for his hospital bills. Lovell denied the cheating allegations to the Oregonian, saying " I barely had time to hang out with my girlfriend, let alone another girl."





"I was able to wing chun my way to survival," Lovell ​told the Oregonian of the attack. "I saw the look in her eyes, and it scared the living poop out of me," he said. "I told her I loved her, and she was killing me. She needed to call police, or I was going to die."





Javier was arrested and charged with attempted murder, to which she pleaded not guilty, ​according to The Columbian.





The Oregonian obtained audio of the 911 call, and a dispatcher replied to the woman on the phone -- who identified herself as Emily Javier -- by asking, "You used a sword?"





"I think he's dead. You need to hurry," the woman told the dispatcher.





As of Friday morning, the ​GoFundMe campaign for Lovell had raised $8,200 of its $10,000 goal.
