Boy dies of stroke after playing computer games for 12 hours non stop
06/20/2005 16:33

Computer games launched the development of the brain pathology, which the boy was suffering from, having thus provoked stroke

Children may spend whole days sitting in front of computers without food, water and rest.

I was thinking the same thing.

That doesnt sound right, I dont think you can die from videogames just playing. I've gone many hours and night hours playing and Im not dead. Doom 3 for 10 hours didnt kill me and that shit had some F*cked up scenes and game play in it.

Poor kid yes, but maybe it wasnt the videogame playing that killed him, maybe there is more than meets the eye....

RIP Cyber Athlete

No...this one was actually real. I remember this story.

***Special Ringpop*** · 06-18-2006, 12:15 PM

I questioned it as well.

I exercise daily, and I play Final Fantasy XI a great deal of the rest of the day, and I've not had any problems.

Tikolx333 · 06-18-2006, 12:57 PM

I didnt look at the article but Ill tell you about another one I read. They have gaming marathons in Korea, and this guy played staright for 54 hours with only 20 minute naps and died afterwards. It was big news google it.

Webby you Russian, I ask since the article is from Pravda.

Oh and here is the article about the Korean guy who played for 50+ hours.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8888579/

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.

I'm addicted to playing Quake 4 demo on-line. I guess I'd be dead now if it weren't for interruptions from work, family, and this forum :rolleyes:

gbae007 · 06-27-2006, 12:16 PM

Eh, this stuff is sensationalistic: he had an underlying condition which his gaming marathons exacerbated.

All_bets_off · 06-27-2006, 03:46 PM

^^^Word, hello counterstrike, man i have been playing CS since beta, and i've been in some 14+hr clan matches, no deaths. That poor kid was ill and the lack of sleep and food only compounded the situation. RIP.

SpeedDemon · 06-27-2006, 08:33 PM

Damn, I didnt think this was possible

***Celcius*** · 06-27-2006, 09:15 PM

I read a pretyt funny ass article of some dumb f*ck starving to death because he was an active member of over 100 forums, and had over a million accumulated posts on all of them. He refused to eat, and his wife cried herself to sleep because he was too worried that if he stepped away from the computer, he would miss out of a topic and miss out in important imformation.

what a dumbass.
