S.Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games

[ClaireZ]

I suppose it's a sad testament to my own gaming addiction that I found myself wondering what he was playing.


Was I the only one?

Lol Nope my first thought was I was wondering if it was Everquest!

Funny you should mention that game. I spent as long as this guy did, playing that game in single stretches. I do miss it though, I am considering playing again .

No, but after I read "South Korean" I figured it was Starcraft.

I read that it was, indeed, Starcraft. I've heard that Starcraft is very big in Korea, as you seem to know. Word on the street is that he probably overdosed on caffeine or something, in order to stay awake that long.

I love Starcraft, myself, but can't imagine playing it for even 10 hours straight.

Why is there no Zerg smilie? I sense Terran-centric racism!!

I am on the internet a lot but thank goodness that I don't play video games. Plus I workout nearly six days a week at least. Man how sad!

Old school thought:

Too bad we don't get three lives.

Do you think God will cure his carpal tunnel syndrome?
