I was on the infamous [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] thread and this kinda came up people dieing from online gaming so I felt like making a thread about it.

Retards, all of 'em.
I don't know why you would risk dying just to get a few extra hours of playing for when you could have been sleeping.

That's really hilarious in a sad way. Then again, it has happened before

Some people are just seriously messed up. The annoying thing about this is that people like to jump on stories like these and say, "SEE, games are evil, they kill people!" When the reality is that the people who die from playing too many games or kill their child from neglect have serious mental defects to begin with and the games themselves had nothing to do with it. :/

The 50 hour marathoner was playing Battlefield 2, if I recall.

It's an amazing game but not worth dying over.

These people fail at life. Nuff said.
90+hours is raw shit

[Pozputty]

only 50? what a wuss.

a real man would have set up camp on a toilet and called his woman for sammiches and soda whenever he needed it.

[Conduit]

the kind of person who plays 50 hours straight doesn't have a woman.

Retards...

I agree 100% with Conduit. Seriously, people die from many ways and people don't give a shit. But when 1 or 2 fucking retards die while playing, it becomes news worldwide and faggots start to yell "Video-games are evil! Blah, blah, blah, blah...."

more like died from neglect and lack of sleep. lol.
