Actually that would totally depend upon the fact what influence the game casts on a particular individual,there might be cases where after a break up, one of the partners goes into a state of depression while the other moves on as if nothing happened, the difference lies in the effect something has on someone.The man in question probably had an extreme engaging influence and so that happened. Nevertheless, starving for days just to cling on to a game sounds a bit too much.

Can video games become so engrossing that it numbs all effects such as hunger, thirst, or pain? Yes it can. In fact back when I was playing World of Warcraft some of the people I played with stayed up until 5AM and went to work 6AM. Not exactly a healthy sleep spiral. Others I know also played 15-20 hours straight in the weekends. Video games are dangerous

Stay healthy(ish)!

Gaming can killMan Dies From Playing World Of Warcraft

I'm in a Psychology class right now and starting up a research paper on this, But actually this isn't to far from the truth. I myself am a heavy gamer and I have caught myself not drinking or saying ehhh I grab something to eat later and before I know it its midnight and I was telling myself around 0900 that I was going to get something but after 15 hours later I was like holy **** I'm starving and that was only because I got tired and decided to get off. There has been many occasions that I and even alot of my friends to say that they have found themselves very thirsty after gaming because they forget to get something to drink or even food.

I very much doubt this is true!

This is true. And there was one girl who played 4 days straight to reach the last level and she died both in game and in real life. It was a big news few years ago about this. So you may or may not believe but some people are so obsessed with game such that they can go to any extreme for the sake of gaming.

I very much doubt this is true! There is no way that if you were starving you would continue to sit there and play World of War Craft. Besides you would have more chances of getting a blood clot from staying still to long than dieing of from not eating.

Dying for gaming....Man Dies From Playing World Of Warcraft

You cannot die from just staying up for days on end. That's retarded, and any idiot that thinks so is retarded, and needs to do some research before opening their mouth.

I know from personal experience that you can stay awake for weeks on meth, and acid alone. And I'm not dead, nor did I get near dying. Not that I do that crap anymore, but I'm just saying, you can stay awake for a long time, and you won't die. You would simply pass out and sleep.

You can also go a very long time without food, but water you cannot. These people that died to playing games were screwed up individuals. Their brains are messed up severely to the point that they do these things. The man killing his baby because it took him from his game? What real person with any brains would do that crap.

The point is.. It's not the games. It's not really society. It's screwed up in the head people that want to blame everything on everyone else. They would have probably gotten addicted to crack, or killed their whole family in the future, even without games. They're screwed up, and not like the 99% "normal" population.

I find it hard to believe that these people didn't get up to go pee, or get a drink of water or anything. I think people just make up a load of crap to shift the blame. You can get addicted to any game, but to the extent of these people is beyond any normal brain functions. They're screwed up with, or without a gaming addiction and would have done some screwed up thing regardless.

explain how you die of "tiredness" which I bet isn't even a word.. Have you ever heard a autopsy come back saying "death from being tired" you can't die from being tired.. You can fall asleep though! thats the stupidest **** ive ever heard dude the guy died from his blood thickening up and his heart couldn't pump it anymore he died from heart failure due to dehydration.
