S.Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games
Tue Aug 9, 2005 11:44 AM BST

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing on-line battle simulation games at the cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.

Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on August 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said.

"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone.

Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.

After he failed to return home, Lee\'s mother asked his former colleagues to find him. When they reached the cafe, Lee said he would finish the game and then go home, the paper reported.

He died a few minutes later, it said.

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

Hmm.....I went as long as almost 24 hours with 6 different women. By the third woman, I was firing blanks (ie I still had a weapon but no more bullets).

April 1984.

I was in 11th grade. My parents were abroad, my girlfriend slept over and we both had sex. She left for school, I stayed home, my other girlfriend (my girlfriend\'s friend) snuck over. We had sex. She left, I went to up a couple floors to bang a semi-ugly college chick with a great body who was my fuck buddy and I did her for a while and went back down to my place. Later in the afternoon, my girl cousin shows up with her friend who had a crush on me, my cousin leaves and the girl and I do it (after a long ass makeout session).

Evening, I drive over to my uncles job and drive him home. When we get there, his young girlfriend is there waiting for him. They both start drinking heavily while I watch TV, my uncle passes out and the drunk ass bitch wants to give me a blowjob. I let her, of course. I do her doggy but I have no more to unload so she\'s having the most orgasmic moment of her life but I\'m freakin\' too tired to keep going. So we stop and I go home. She stunk like beer. Yuck.

I get home, my girlfriend is in the apartment waiting for me. Damn...actually, that\'s 5 different girls. Not 6. Coz girl1 and Girl6 are the same. Oh well. I told you my teenage and college life was like a long porn movie.

Heh...I do use that term sometimes. But I thought this place...being a video game forum and all....wouldn\'t know anything about "butterface" and least of all, sex with the opposite gender. :p

BTW, I had the same psychedelic lamp as that ogre.

When I was 18, my 16 year old GF\'s parents went out of town, and I seriously banged her 7 times in 24 hours. Same scenario... firirng blanks at the end. I think everybody has at least one escapade like that.... unless you\'re vapor...

In America, you can sue a shopping mall if you slip on someone else\'s mess (eg spilled drink).

In Korea and the rest of the world, you slip and hurt yerself, you\'re expected to get up and move on.

Asians havent only been "infecting" this board, but the entire world, they are everywhere.

Besides, I doubt he was born and raised in Korea as I stated.
