S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050809/od_nm/korea_games_dc;_ylt=AtYTbZmdVBNQoKsHxJ5BTKGs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3NW1oMDRpBHNlYwM3NTc-)

This has happened at least a half dozen times now... you'd think people would learn.

This just shows how dangerous our hobby is..........
No amatures allowed

I love a good computer game as much as the next bloke, but to quote from this link; "Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games..."
Maybe he actually died from starvation due to lack of funds to feed himself.

Oh the media wouldn't like that. Telling the truth? That he died from lack of food and water? Nah. It's much more interesting to make it sound like what he was DOING killed him. (Besides it's the in thing these days to demonize video games).

I once died after playing games for only 35 hours straight... It was harsh.

In lighter news, his oppenent was awarded the coveted Mega-Frag.

I've died 5 times in a half hour before...

I never die, and if I do, I'll just insert another quarter

If I do 50 hours of anything I'm pretty sure it's gonna kill me. I'd rather die playing video games than die in my office.

Although I'm certain that I know what word was auto censored here, the mind still reels at the other possibilities. :o

I meant to type 'fishing' but got confused by all the bacon (and Jessica) and messed up the 2nd, 3rd and 4th letters of the word :P
-
I thought perhaps you meant to say "spitting", but mistyped the second letter.

Let this topic be a lesson to SOAPboy and the rest of those WoW playing maniacs! Robotron never killed anybody, stick with the classics! :)
