S.Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games

I'll admit that 50 hours is excessive ... but death???

Maybe they should put warning labels on video games:
"Extended use of this game could be hazardous to your health."

wow thats insane, people need to know when to stop, kind of like drinking booze

yeah, and now they will blame computer games for that. i mean 50 hours!!!

if he had a pstwo - i wonder if summones fix was done

damn thats the price you have to pay to play video games. I'll take my chances somewhere else hehe. Maybe he needed a summones fix installed so he himself wouldn't have blown(died)

well thats weird

dunno why that would cause heart failure tho

i pretty much do that

cept sleep a bit more then a nap

even then, heart failure .... i doubt this was completly the 50hr sessions fault, maybe that just helped to speed it along

It does sound weird. A young man dying of heart failure after 50 hours of playing computer games. They do say those MMORGs are addictive. I'm glad I never started playing those in the first place.

If I had to choose a way to die, that would be on my top ten list.
