Hm, I believe it will come from Asia, those guys have a reputation for playing video games to death.

What can I say? You gotta admire their dedication :)

what a waste of oxygen. after 72 hours of no sleep you are risking heart failure..what an idiot.

Wasn't there a couple in China that was arrested because their baby died of starvation after they had played WoW for 4 or 5 days straight?

how can someone play the same game for 4 days straight, would they not get bored from repeating the same activity for that long?

Indeed it was. Also, in Korea a man was found dead in the bathroom of an internet cafe after a 48 hour long gaming session. 

This is why they have rules for that sort of thing in south korea. It Seems asians suffer from video game addiction more than anyone else. what about the korean woman who went to jail because she deleted her ex-boyfriends lineage 2 character...madness.

been playing videogames since i was 9 years old (i am almost 37 now) and i still dont get how people can be so addicted to a freaking video game they are "willing" to die for it......sometimes i call myself an addict but i dont even lose a minute sleep this evening because a new game comes out tomorrow you know....guess after all these years i still live in the real world :p hehe

True. Some of the extreme cases disturb me. I had a guildmember in WoW who was online for an average of 20 hours a day. He had insomnia and a pretty miserable life (to my standards at least) and sometimes he wouldn't react at all ingame. Just standing there, in ghostform if he was killed during questing. We knew that he just passed out from pure exhaustion, but it's kind of unnerfing nonetheless.

As for me, I getting up at 4am tomorrow, instead of 6am. I used to have a morning job, so getting up early is a big deal for me. Playing Diablo 3 a for a few hours tomorrow morning will make sure that I won't be hopping on my chair at work later that day, like the little, fluffy, cute, excitable bunny I am!
