Playing Counter-Strike can be fatal!

That\'s right friends,. I bring you this news in hope to increase your life span. If you or anyone you know plays the famous HL m.od called Counter-strike, please stop before it is too late.

Taken from Voodoo Extreme.

"A Thai man has died from heart failure during an all-night computer game. The 22-year-old was found dead at his computer terminal in an internet cafe in Chiang Mai. Police say his friends told them he was addicted to the game and played it from Wednesday evening until he was found slumped over the computer\'s keyboard at noon on Thursday. They confirmed that Thanet Sommoi, a worker at a ceramics factory, died from heart failure.

He had been playing Half Life: Counter Strike, which casts players in the role of terrorist or counter-terrorist. Up to 32 people can join in on the internet. Police say investigators believed Thanet developed tension and fatigue after playing the game for hours, and his heart eventually failed."

hehe, what a moron

LOL


How do they know that he died from playing the game too long?

Playing Videogames for such long periods of time isn\'t too healthy.  There\'s a guy at work who is divorced now because he couldn\'t stop playing Starcraft online.  His wife got so fed up, she left with his 3 kids and filed for divorce.  The guy is obviously a real LOSER!  That\'s pathetic if you ask me.  There\'s nothing wrong with playing Videogames, but make time for your family and friends, and get out of the house and have some kind of social life.  Remember those ****head nerds who commited Suicide because their Dungeon\'s and Dragon\'s characters died!  Pretty sad.

I\'m pretty sure he meant the dead guy was a moron...

People die in strange ways.

This is one of the strangest I have heard.

He killed, got killed and got killed.
How ironic.

That\'s sick!

Sammy, my posts were nothing but sarcasm. If you people actually thought I was serious,...

My mistake. I just read it through briefly and took it as you thought he said you were a moron. When you read every single new post every day sometimes it happens you misread something. A smiley could have helped - you have to think about the poor mods when you make such a reply.
