Ha ha, the funny thing if that you have to break in mid instances and quest to eat and drink is the game! And regardless I always walk away from the computer while on a flight path.
He probably had heart failure due to him being dehydrated.
If you become dehydrated your blood thickens, ya don't matter how tough your heart is. It's like trying to pump molasses.
Its fake I think , since I played 58 hours without any sleep and Coke and Coffein and ofc 6 sandwich And I cant se I'm dead?:P

You can say it wasn't due to WoW all you want to, regardless of what your mindset is, you like it or you hate it((I fall on the latter end but thats not a bias)) the guy was addicted to the game, it happens.
I have an addiction to Halo 3. Played it for 12 hours straight without moving one day. Granted its not the same time span but its most certainly a slight addiction. This guy had a problem, and it was an addiction to WoW. He may have neglected his own needs but it was due to his addiction. Thats all I have to say. Take care folks! -TarOBoI QUOTE(half @ Aug 31 2005, 01:57 AM)  I was reading the paper today about a man in South Korea who went on a 50 hour binge playing World of Warcraft and died of heart failure, caused by dehydration and starvation. Can video games become so engrossing that it numbs all effects such as hunger, thirst, or pain? It's hard to believe that he would not grab something to eat after playing for a little over 2 days straight. The article said that this kind of thing happens all the time in South Korea, not to the extreme of dying though. South Korea's connectivity to the world is very high, very close to the United States if not passed it. Their leaps in technology have made the internet a necessity which is both a good and bad thing. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I just thought it was interesting :-P. maybe games do but i think it dont its just the way you take the games for and how serious you are with them that guy must have been serious with his games if he played for 50hours with no break
So basically, "Demonic Video Games are Killing South Koreans".
Makes sense...
Wow. Sad story. It is actually possible to die of tiredness and plus if your brain works hard at the same time. Which is the case. You ought to take breaks once every three or fours hours at least.
Ok. I'm a bungie employee. I love games, but dying from them? well, I myself could believe it. I developed the games halo 2, and halo 3 (I helped). I know what game addiction is like, even though I haven't had it. I've worked with people who had it, which is 10x worse... Wouldn't you take a break? I mean jeez... You have to stay fit. Games aren't my life. I play maybe 2-3 hours a day (depends on occasion). I don't believe in mmorpg's. They are the most addicting, and I don't want that to happen to me. Guess I'll sign off here.

Yeah, I'm an avid WOW gamer too. It can be really addictive. No doubt, the news is true. I saw it on the papers a year ago.
