Man Dies After 49 Hours of Computer Games SEOUL, South Korea - A 28-year-old South Korean man died of exhaustion in an Internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, South Korean police said Wednesday. Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu who was identified only by his last name, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping, refusing to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft. Lee was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors are presuming was a heart attack, police said. Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said. Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea, home to professional gamers who earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches. This is why I only play sports games. The game eventually ends. I've never liked these role playing games and the such. Was it so freaking hard to get up and get some water? What a dumbass.
Halo, the guys with orange. I think I spent at leat 24 hours trying to figure out how to kill them. 'd bet they did it.
oh shat....49 hours straight?? i wonder if there is a record for most hours of video games played in a row...
I guess if you don't eat or drink you don't crap or piss, that kind of stuff cuts down on your playing time. Lost his job and life for a game.
This is like the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard this happening over the past year or two I think. Weird. How many games of Starcraft did he play? Geez.
Why is he so addicted to such an old game? Battlefield 2 has a database of stats on players who play on ranked servers. My friend and I were looking at the leaders, and we found a couple of guys that, considering the total hours they've played and the relatively short time since the game was released, have averaged over 10 hours per day for over a month. I can only hope they have no job, or perhaps their job are to play BF2.
So who's more of a dumbass, this guy or the kid at the Yankee's game that jump 40ft down into a net to see if it could hold his weight?
This guy because the kid is still alive. The Yankee kid gets extra points for being correct that the net would hold hit weight.
