SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) -- 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.

Pretty sad... the lack of self-discipline or sense of reality and responsibility by some people.

Idiot. You should ALWAYS have your HP meter where you can see it and go heal up when needed. This guy obviously was not watching his health at all and took too much damage.

Obviously you're not aware of how many people game for excessive periods of time such that their employment, health, and personal relationships suffer.

Why do you insist I think I'm high and mighty and know everything and think I'm the best person in the world? What about my single statement after posting the link to the article indicates any of this? You said yourself that you agree with it. Then does that not make you guilty of being 'high and might', ad nauseum?

Yes, five months is really, really "not quite." But pmga did not specify whether the dead man was stupid or whether posting a thread about him is stupid.

Red was right, he was obviously not paying attention to his HP meter. Or he was, and he just ran out of mana in order to heal himself. Maybe he was going to stock up on potions when he died. H-hum. Poor, poor 1337AZNdood29.
