I don't know why people get so defensive about this stuff. Big deal, you like games, go play games. Someone died as a result they weren't as tough as you.
Less than 10 days ago, a 24 year-old South Korean man died at an internet cafe in Kwangju, 260km outside Seoul, after playing continuously for 86 hours.
Now 86 hours .. Wow! :Q

What else do Koreans (in Korea) have? Oh, they have nukes now... I forgot about that.
Comparing a video game to a firefight. Now that's a new one"Depending on the game, the brain is receiving [the impression] that it is constantly under attack," he said.
"We would not expect hardened soldiers to cope with a 32-hour fire fight, and yet some people think they can play these games constantly for long periods of time."
Well, after playing a game and not sleeping for that many hours, who knows what kind of crazy hallucinations you might have? My roomate was awake for about 38 hrs once and started seeing things while he was just standing in an elevator.Originally posted by: SaintGRW

erm, you mean you actually believe he died of video gaming? lol
I'll tell you who the n00b is, the medical examiner. Either that or he was bribed. I'm leaning towards the latter.
btw isn't foaming at the mouth a sign of cyanide poisoning? There's probably a bunch of other causes for foaming too. So who knows. But these guys didn't die of gaming thats for sure.
