Man dies from playing Video Games Non Stop

[Choppy]

Dont know is I should put this in news or Video Games...

I read it somewhere..I forgot...But A Man From Tokyo died from playing "Starcraft" non stop for 49 Hours. No food, no water, no sleep, no breaks, a couple bathroom breaks only.

I guess this proves how addicting games can be.Its just a pity that he died such a stupid death...

[Rigor Mortis]

I stay away from those games that take over people's lives. (things like World of WarCraft)

I have no sympathy for the guy. At least he died happy.

[DOMOSTICK]

Me niether, I mean playing for a couple hours is a different story, but more then 4 hours straight without moving is getting a little ridiculous.

[Cloudy_Mind]

DAMN STARCRAFT!!! I was in its spell before i played it 10 hours straight one time but im not gunna do that agen (because i lost the disk and hacked to much in the game) so yeah its a very addicting game actualy i used to make complex maps and movies with starcraft realy fun but yeah i got through 10 hours by eating and going to the washroom so actualy it was like doing the basic things while playing on the computer.

[Rigor Mortis]

I go a little over 11 hours if I'm determined or if it's that good... But not without ignoring the calls of nature. I'd have to be full and really not needing the bathroom to do it without going anywhere.

I remember going 8 hours without eating or going to the bathroom. I won't be doing that again. @_@

[Tor]

I love starcraft man...but the most I ever played straight is like 2-3 hours...but I took like breaks once in a while.

I like creating the maps as well...it's pretty cool. And i like the cheat codes...but then I lost the serial number so I couldn't play it anymore...LOL...I think I still got the copy disk somewhere, not sure...

Abou tthe guy though...that's pretty f__king crazy. Damn, that's hella crazy. I feel bad for the person who got him that game and his parents and family. That's just too much man.

However I heard that some guy was so addicted to ever quest online that he had to be fed through a tube, and had to wear diapers because he refuse to go to the bathroom and eat...

Holy crap that is so funny.. I have a friend who played splinter cell from morning to morning lol... He didnt sleep at all... He called me about 5 times very early in the morning just to tell me how far he is getting (as if i care).. Its kind of pathetic you know...

[pqrockss]

that sucks.. is it that good of a game though i never played it before :oops:

[Choppy]

It's an addicting game...

[Chrono]

I think I might buy it lol... I never got addicted to a game except FF7 & FF10... So lets see if this game kills me or not...

[Choppy]

For me it was only addicting if you played on the internet...It was fun...But I got over it...You know how? My little cousin broke the cd and I just ended up never playing it again haha

[Chrono]

HAHAHA... Poor choppy lol... I bet you where pissed though

[Choppy]

You bet I was...I made him run up and down the stairs 10 times...Teaches him not to touch with older cousin's stuff next time XD

[Chrono]

Haha now I have to say poor little cousin.. I remember when I let my friend use my GTA San Andreas game and her nephew broke it... I took him in the back room and made him drink hot sauce...

[RRRR ARE j]

people like that are called FREAKS!!! ..or geeks...or game-addicts, lol

[Krazim]

Haha, well, at least he died happy, eh? Hmm...I wonder if my brother will die like that man. XD He's like in his room 24/7. XP

[ENTiCE]

Goshers... thats crazyX_x... even I can't even do that... o.Oa , I mean I play alot on my computer but not that much o.<

[tempt]

wow, thats the craziest thing ive heard all day. HOW DO YOU NOT GET HUNGRY?!! While playing game..

[genious]

What a way to die, but yea, interesting...

[MasterBeef]

Dam I remember playing Starcraft, I was always the Zerg spicies/tribe/thing, but yeah, it was really adicting, till I broke the CD from bordedom, and after starcraft I ended up getting adicted to...can't remember, long time since, and once I got cable, I ended up going to RO, played all the time, 2 years man, 2 years...from the begining school year, to summer, stopped RO when all I did was grind for long just to get a high lvl character. And once I got my DS on christmas, I just got addicted on Ouendan, but I beat the whole thing already, so nothing to go crazy on now. But yeah, I feel sorry for the guy, imagine being his mother and seeing your son dead on his desk with the computer still on:
*Opens door* "How long have you been playing?" Dead body dosn't move "Are you sleeping...?" *Pokes with broom* dead body falls over and dosn't move. "OMG!!" heart attack.

[Tor]

lol hell yeah that would suck so bad. LOL. But hey, starcraft was one hell of a game...it was hella fun and addicting. It's my favorite computer game of all time. It's that freakin good.

But yea man, that dude is one creazy mofo.

that's funny, but sad too.. dang, again.. what a way to die.. at least, he's happy, but he'll be mad when he finds out he didn't defeat the game.. i know i would..

[Choppy]

Atleast he died doing something he loved...

[Krazim]

Haha, yeah, he died happy. =) That's good. But man, playing games and not starving? Haha, if I was to play an addicting game straight, I would call someone to get some snacks in my room and pay my brother to do my chores and homework. Maybe like ask the Japanese to create an android that replicates my image and intelligence to go to school and stuff. =D

[BladeLigerRuler]

South Korea, one of the most wired countries in the world, has a large and highly developed game industry.

And I thought it was in Japan...

[Killalopez]

I thought it was Japan also. :roll:

[Choppy]

I could of sworn that it was in Japan and that he died while playing Starcraft...

I think these are 2 different cases...The article that you've provided doesnt say anything about Starcraft...

[genious]

That's right! it doesn't mention starcraft..

[SN]

Atleast he died doing something he loved...

There's passion and then there's the unhealthy, utterly compulsive obsession.

[Cloudy_Mind]

sup SN, and i love playing starcraft but i didnt love so much i would die from it! Jeeze reality check.

[MasterBeef]

Oh man, back when I was WAY into RO, I always played it, once I played it for so long I almost passed out due to lack of freshair and food and water.
