That is a bit too far. But it wasn't directly the games fault, if you stayed up that long it may happen to you as well. You just need to motivation.

Something like this had happened before, in South Korea again. Only that time, instead of "a battle simulation", he was playing Counter-Strike.

Newspapers over here went ballistic that our youth was playing the game in cafes all around the country, and even started to say the game should be banned.

And leaving to go to the toilet and take brief naps? Sounds just like a med student during finals...

Kinda sad this thing seems to happen so often.

Wish I could find a game I could become so enthralled in that I would risk death. See, the Revolution is health conscious. You'd stop playing due to muscle fatigue before your heart has time to give out. Would like to see someone wave their arm about for 50 hours.

must have been a fun game!

I heard someone else who had died, played 48 Hours straight of Halo 2, ended up dying.
