South Korean dies in marathon game session

 
A 24-year-old South Korean man dies after 86 hours of straight gaming without food or sleep.
 
According to an Associated Press report, South Korean police said today that a man has died after an 86-hour gaming marathon. The incident occurred at an Internet café in a town 160 miles southwest of Seoul, where the man, who was unemployed, had been "virtually glued" to a computer since Friday, skipping sleep and meals. The man collapsed near the café\'s counter and was later found dead in the restroom. Many Internet cafés in South Korea are open 24 hours a day.

Holy crap. :eek:

I feel sorry for the guy and his family, but he should have known better.  Or someone should have stopped him.

Wonder what game he was playing...

I can see the headlines now... :crap:
