Online gamer dies after three-day session

Well the internet cafe did sort of bring up that question..

how did he spend all the time there and not get kicked out, but that's irrelevant when a baby was neglected and died in the process...

Yeah, some peoples addictions are stupid I agree! Sometimes though you have to limit yourself..
 
Three days straight is pretty insane I mean how hard would it be to just grab a quick bite to eat or have a few sips out of a glass of water!?! I've played for 24 hours straight once and even long before I reached 24 hours I was done for and that was with eating / drinking / toilet breaks.

The story about the two parents leaving a child to die just so they could play some game is terrible, that seems to go beyond an addiction. I hope the stories at least open some peoples eyes.

On the first paragraph, I did the same when I first got FFx, and i did a day a half with breaks, and food, and a drink and I was out of it halfway through but it was pure drive for the game that made me go so far!
On the second paragraph, totally agreeing with you there! These stories should open eyes to people who think that sitting in front of a PC or Tv for 12-13 hours a day is a good thing...When it can cause harm to you!
 
Well, uh... at least he died happy. I wonder how he broke it to his folks.

"Ma'am. You're son died. OF GAMING TO HARD!"

I really don't know what else to say. I mean, obsession can be dangerous... but I never thought that... well. That it drive a guy to play video games for so long.
 
Oh wow.. I honestly have absolutely no words for this. This guy is just fucking sad. To game 72 hours straight in a fucking internet cafe. You have got to be kidding me. People these days are just so retarded. Melody has said it all. I cant imagine gaming this long without eating,drinking/taking a shower.. Also the employees must be ill or something. Maybe the guy was an awesome attraction for them so they let him stay. Does the Cafe even have a closing time?! Fucking sad this is just fucking sad..
 
You can potentially live 4-6+ weeks without food.
You can live 3+ days without water.
You can live over 2 weeks without sleep.

The guy was eating, if only little. Said food may have contained water, but it doesn't say he never drank so you have to presume he did at some point. He only went 3 days without sleep.

There was clearly more to the guys health than just saying he died because of a three-day gaming session.
 
It really is ok to love your games and be obssessed with them, you can have fun playing 24 hours straight if you want, but you gotta know when to call it quits. I heard of people being completly blind to reality and everything thats going on around them but how could you play 3 days straight without eating at all, he probably didnt drink anything either I bet. I now know If someone asks me for an online 3 day gaming session non stop to start off the seesion for a couple of a minutes then disconnect my internet and use that as an excuse to leave.

But seriously Thats kind of messed up that happended to him, it must have been a really intesne match he was in then, I bet alot of arguing took place in that :I
