Wow man what a sad story. That is what what we call being addicted not hardcore. It is sad that the guy was so addicted to the game. I would consider him a addict more than hardcore. But this is just sad :(

Lol, I guess you could say the other team won! They really got him.

I have friends who do that. They call me on ICQ and ask if I want to play Unreal Tournament. I play for a couple hours and than it\'s like 2:00 AM and I send a message that I\'m off to bed. I get up to go to the washroom and decide to check if there still playing. Sure enough it\'s 7:00AM and there still playing! These guys work where I do, and they miss alot of work days, or come in sleepy and cranky from playing all night. I couldn\'t do that.
Videogames are an addiction. I had a friend who stole money from his dad to buy games and he was laid off! When his dad found out that he was using his bank card and took out $600 total over several months, he smashed his PS1. His Parents sent him to see a Psychiatrist to get help for his addiction. He has a Dreamcast, and a PS2 but he plays in moderation and he\'s o.k after getting help. I think most people don\'t fall in this category of major addiction but it\'s scary to think it happens.
