Given that the practice originated with 4chan users, I think the Epic Fail Guy meme is more likely for a source.

One of the stranger attempts to tie crime to videogames:

Like many other hacktivists, Gonlag was an avid player of “first-person shooter” games, the protagonist in his own adventures. Digitally attacking MasterCard and Visa elevated that engagement to the real world, a literal dream come true.

Did he also, perhaps, read novels featuring first-person narrators?
