Yup, there's also another story of a Korean Couple who left their 3-month old girl at home to go to a Net Cafe to play WoW, ironically, the grandmother was only on the floor above them.

People need to learn how to balance their lives. You can't just sit in front of a computer or play video games all day! Take care of yourself!
