"...The AAP reported that another Taiwanese man died in February after a 23-hour gaming jag ended with a heart attack. In 2007, a 30-year-old man collapsed and died in Guangzhou, China, after gaming for three straight days, In 2005, a 28-year-old South Korean man died after a 50-hour gaming session. In 2003, police in Hong Kong cited a six-hour stint playing Diablo II at an Internet café as a contributing factor in a 28-year-old man's death. In 2002, a 24-year-old South Korean man died after 86 uninterrupted hours of gameplay. That same month, a 27-year-old Taiwanese man lasted 32 hours before succumbing to death by exhaustion."


Make sure you take appropriate time to dump, eat Doritos, and rip bongs, okay kids?

Them Koreans are tougher.

I love videogames but I get tired after 5 hours of continuous play. I gotta take a break by then and get some rays or Poon.

Didn't have much to live for anyway.

My knuckles cramp up if I play too much.

[InuFaye]

Not even a game worth dying for.

Idk when your wisdom teeth are out I can play all day long.

How can you play that game for more than an hour. It's just mindless grinding. I can understand playing starcraft or another rts for long periods, I've done it myself, resorting to pissing in a beer bottle to stay in the game. But Diablo 3? Asians.

how dare you say that...

back in my high school days, i made a couple ~36hr straight of Diablo 2: LoD. ofcourse i did stop to eat shit smoke and level my character by mindlessly killing and destroying stuff. its a pretty entertaining thing. I won't be buying D3, because i'm married and have too many hobbies. This would end in my demise too.. but because my wife killed me for ignoring her for 3 days.

Don't get me wrong, I love D2 too. You can play D2 for eons and still not reach max level, but in D3 you get to max level in a couple days. Diablo 3 is just a money making mule for Blizzard. At least you didn't waste your money like I did only to be disappointed.

I disagree, level 99 doesn't take forever....it was depressing every time the ladders reset though...

These people should get a job instead or go to school.

it did take forever. if you play straight for like 2 weeks you made ~lvl90 and then forget it. Most i made was lvl 95 or so and i got sick and tired of killing cows lol... and then RESET! jaja bastards. Hacks is what did for me. I stopped playing cause of that. I even had a bot at one point that did mephisto runs for me all night. So i could still pay even while i slept! I'm hearing Xzibit in the back of my head jaja


sorry to hear D3 was dissapointing. atleast you're still with us.

I saw this on "taboo". Supposedly Korean youth is the most addicted gaming population. They even have Internet rehab camps. Lol. I used to game hard on WoW & other mmorpgs for days on end. Actually lost significant weight gaming so hard.
