I like video games like the next guy, but how do you game for 3 straight days? That's insanity.

"Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet."

Good grief !

Re: Man dies after 3 days of gaming.
I have played Counterstrike for about 10 hours, but enough is enough. My guess as to how he could play that long and die of an apparent heart attack is either speed or crystal meth.

Yep, it's new. I think it's happened at least half a dozen times.

Re: Man dies after 3 days of gaming.
I was just reading another site, and someone pointed out that these reports are all coming from the state run (who has vowed to cut down on Internet addiction) media, with very few details that anyone would be able to verify. Something to think about.
