IgwanaRob Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday. The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said. Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said. Initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, police said. An autopsy was planned. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/10/10/...4061260831.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betax Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 What could have prevented this... The keyboard pillow A few boxes of "everything" pizza A few more trips to the bathroom.. Remember kids, if you dont sustain yourself.. your games are going to be far away from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persianpsycho Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 this summer a few of my friends and i played cs non stop for 2 days without breaks or anything. Afterwards we had a lot of trouble just getting up or looking around and stuff, i don't know how this guy was still able to look at the monitor. Guess hes just hardcore.
