just wondering if anyone saw this unbelievable story.
heres part of it:
| Quote: | A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing on-line battle simulation games at the cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.
Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on August 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said. |

read the article 
there are conflicting reports- this one says he quit his job so he could spend more times playing games, another one said he was fired for missing so much time playing.

I think 50 hours non stop on a computer would do that to anyone.
Plus if he was playing a shooting game it's got all the flashing lights and stuff and you do get excited and have adrenaline rushes because you are so into it.
So maybe he had too much adrenaline and died. I hardly doubt anyone could spend 50 hours non stop on imamother.
First of all most of us have kids to look after or a husband to see and we all deffinately like our food...as I am fasting today for a mere snippet of a 25 hours, which I think is bad enough, I would no way do it for 50.
Also how did he need to go to the toilet for the next 25 hours? It doesn't mention drinking or eating.
