DexX Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Someone really needs to tell the people in East Asian countries to stop gaming before they die. Perhaps a series of helpful public service announcements featuring a cuddly mascot could have prevented this Chinese man, this South Korean man, and now another Chinese man from keeling over dead after marathon gaming sessions. Maybe a free latte policy for the 100 or so patrons who fled the cybercafé in Guangzhou this weekend after witnessing the death of the 30 year-old man who had been gaming for three days straight. Watching a person die from lack of common sense always makes me thirsty. Paramedics quickly arrived on the scene but could not resuscitate the man. I know the loss of a human life is never a laughing matter, but I just cannot fathom gaming to death. Back in 2001, there where weeks when I would spend every waking hour playing EQ, but I at least took chair naps and tried my very best not to die. Worked for me. *sigh* Source I would make a witty comment, but i'm too busy laughing. what a twit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 hmmmm it was probably the cheap sh*tty coffee, Dosent say what game he was playing either, probably flight sim! If I played that for 3 hours id kill myself! Maybe they should put a 2 day max session. 2 days is fine...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerillaForce Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 east asians are mad. and they probably died from lack of sleep, it kills you faster than if you were to stop eating and drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernautus Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 let me guess, no doubt whilst playing world of warcraft, I'm surprised Jack Thompson hasn't latched onto that game sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exkabewbikadid Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The question remains, was he trying to kill himself? If this was actually a successful suicide attempt, then that's f*cking amazing. Damn I hope a suicide note turns up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I hope a suicide note turns up... probably not a suicide, people in these countries seem to often get into MMO games, and they don't sleep or eat for days they just play, and play, and play and die.

Gouveia Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Oh my god, what a retarded. I took 3 days of Counter Strike too, but at least, I eated, and took some 20 minute naps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Death by gaming - I love it. Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. If your in-game character dies, you die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.A.B. Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I swear to God I heard this story once on Gen Chat a couple of years back. Maybe even twice. Did he drop any good loot? But seriously, shouldn't he have been at work painting lead onto our children's toys? i wonder what others had thought when they saw him *thump* over?? "oh no, not this again" teehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 That is the dumbest posible way to die. I guess whatever he played was TO DIE FOR! I wouldn`t even play GTA4 more then 3 hours straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyJ Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) That's a really sucky way to snuff it, gaming without breaks, food, or even rest for three straight days.

Mr.Mister Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The chinks gotta turn off the good ole computer once in awhile. But it seems to be once in a blue moon. Internet cafes suck. Too pricey. Are they cheap in the far east or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernautus Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 it's probably too expensive to get a good connection at home in these countries, so they go to net cafes so that they don't have to buy a pc and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
