Man dies after playing computer games non-stop | |

A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday. The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said. Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said. | ||

| Whoops this was meant for our gaming section, but then again you all seem to be reading it! |

| Damn the fools, it isn't Blizzard's fault. |

I am sure they will find a way to blame it on Microsoft, Windows, or even the Xbox (not sure what he was using, but since it's a pc cafe, probably Windows).
Stay tuned for the pending Press Release for MS about that! |

| How rude, I didn't see what game he was playing! It must have been RTCW. It's addicting! |

"He then went to the toilet..."
I would say SO! |

Well it probably wasn't the new America's Army game I've been playing. :)
Battlefield 1942 sucks... RTCW is definately addicting! |

| I did catch the humor actually. I guess I didn't convey it too well either. I was never much of a StarCraft player. My preference is D II. And yes, I quite understand US B.Net realms being plauged with lezopeimnqaw, I mean Korean, players. ; - ) |
