Game player ends up as a terminal case
A 28-year-old computer game player, police say, overdid it.
After 50 hours of nonstop action in front of an Internet cafe terminal, the Daegu resident collapsed Friday night. He died in a hospital from heart failure brought on by exhaustion, doctors later said.
According to the Internet cafe's owner, Mr. Lee often stayed up two to three nights in a row. He had his food delivered to the cafe and hardly left his computer except to go to the toilet. Mr. Lee reportedly slept on a makeshift bed in the Internet cafe's administrative office.
As Mr. Lee had not come home for a while, Mr. Lee's mother asked her son's former coworkers to find him. They had located Mr. Lee at the Internet cafe on the day of the incident. "He promised that he would play just a little more and then go home," one of his coworker said. "Then, after five minutes, he collapsed."

Hey what's wrong with that? :D

Pretty much certain.
After playing one for a bit, I really can't see the point of online video games like World of Warcraft or Everquest and the like. It's just so boring and repetitive.
It seems so pointless next to the other things you could do with the time (earn money, get laid, read a book, watch every H!P PV in chronological order...)

Being a nerd is not for the weak. I hope people will now respect nerds more, when they know that they're actually putting their lives in danger.
-
50 hours nonstop? That's just messed up. Poor bastard apparently doesn't have much of a life, does he?
-
He does have a life. It's just that he doesn't do much with it, other than playing starcraft and programming macros to say 'ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKEKEKEK ^_^v'
-
I don't get that starcraft joke :?
what's with the "KEKEKEKEKEK"
-
It's so famous it's on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kekeke).

Sheesh!
People need to stop inventing new in-jokes, 'cause I feel left out when they do. :cry:
