Last year, a 24-year-old South Korean man collapsed and died after an 86-hour Counter-Strike marathon. Ten days later, 27-year-old Lien Wen-chung went to the toilet after a 32-hour session and didn't come back. He was found with a bleeding nose and foaming at the mouth, and died on his way to the hospital.

You know, I found something awefully similar. I don't know if they are the same but mixed up views, or completely different things.

A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.

Now that's a fun way to die!!!

yea, thats about one of the things in the article, i actually found that whilst searching about the guy who died after playing for 50 hours, i saw it on the news.

Thats kinda weird. Those people have not life at all. 86 hours non stop..... thats like 3 and a half days without a break. I could never do that.

wo that tripped me out..i had no idea computers could be that bad for you. but seriouly..who sits at a comp for 86 hours!? thats nuts. i can barely last about 4 hours without a break cos of my back problems..not to mention when nature calls!
i mean when u think about it its pretty sad. they had nothing better to do than sit around all the time playing games (as addictive as they may be) and then die because of it. i feel for those kinds of people..i really do. must be not too good for their families either.

I usually spend more than a total of 5 hours a week on the computer (RS of course). I haven't died yet cause you can tell I'm still alive :lol:

I just usually end up not feeling well after I play too long. I usually end up falling asleep in class because I stay up to play RS, sometimes even up to 2 in the morning :shock:

. I think I might have a gaming problem. :cry:

Someday it might be:

This year, a 13 year old North American Girl fainted after a RuneScape Pking tournament. A week later, 13 year old Jessica (Thats me), was sent to hospital. "My destiny calls for me to play RuneScape, now I wish I had not played too much and known better. My message to everyone out there is 'If you enjoy video games and end up not feeling well after playing too much, give yourself a 5 min. break after one hour of non stop gaming or you might end up like me.' " Says Jessica (Thats me if you forget) befor dieing in hospital.
