Re: Man dies after 3 days of gaming.

Been there. Done that. When I was in college I would stay up for days on end to play an online RPG game (before WoW). I would stay up for 3 days without caffeine.

Thinking back it was time not well spent. Now that I am older and wiser I could barely stay up pass 11pm.

Sounds like me with Ultima Online. I played that game for 5 years. I only stayed up all night on the weekends though. I'm glad I gave up on that.

I'm an old man now, I go to bed at 10.

Re: Man dies after 3 days of gaming.

I did Diablo II online in Highschool, and I can tell you, it was the key to the downfall of my GPA. Online gamins is as addictive as anything I've ever seen before, and I didn't spend half as much time online as the other members of my clan. 3 days though... Imagine the amount of caffeine it must have taken to sustain consciousness...

Wuss.

I've played games for two days at a time before, but those were always over summer breaks. I don't know that I've ever pulled off 3 days...

My friends in college used to disappear for days at a time, skip classes and then surface...squinting like the Sun was causing them pain. I just couldn't get into it.
