Kotaku.com reports that an AWOL Marine's disappearance is linked to playing Call of Duty 4. 

Eric Hall, 24, was staying at his aunt's home in Deep Creek. He was last seen around 2 p.m. Sunday. His Yamaha motorcycle was found later that day in Harbour Heights, around Sulstone Drive and Pasadena Terrace. The CCSO sent deputies, K-9 units and a helicopter, to no avail.

"They haven't gotten any real leads as to where he is," said Eric's mother, Becky Hall, who flew to Florida from Indiana Wednesday morning. "We do the best we can. Honestly, I'm numb. I feel like I'm living in a dream -- my worst nightmare."

Eric was reportedly in the middle of a war flashback when he left. He was in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2001 to 2005, serving first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq. On June 14, 2005 -- three months after arriving in Iraq -- a homemade explosive tore into his left side, destroying half the bone and muscle in his upper thigh. A man with him was killed. Eric was medically retired from the Marine Corps, and had surgery to put a metal rod in his hip. He walks with a strong limp."
