S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games
SEOUL (Reuters) - 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 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 Aug. 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.
"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone.
Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.
After he failed to return home, Lee's mother asked his former colleagues to find him. When they reached the cafe, Lee said he would finish the game and then go home, the paper reported.
He died a few minutes later, it said.
South Korea, one of the most wired countries in the world, has a large and highly developed game industry.

i always felt a little ill after playing mario bros., but i think it was from all those damn mushrooms the princess was hiding all over the place. and like a dumbass, i would keep eating them, then "bam" it would make me bigger (i think that was nintendo's metaphor for getting high).
just like in zelda (ocarana of time) there is this guy that sells (get this)"MAGIC BEANS" and another guy in the village that is pounding the ground asking you to sell him something (i think that guy was jonesing pretty bad). if you tried to sell him a potion or a fairy or anything else, he would just ignore you. then once you sell him the "MAGIC BEANS", the guy would jet off (i guess he was heading to that afterhour party up on the castle with your MAGIC BEANS). so Link becomes this 2bit drug dealer, risks his ass for Zelda, and on top of all that the bitch doesn't even invite him to the afterhour party, he should have stayed in the forest....................uh, where the hell was i going with this............oh nevermind.
the point is: don't play video games.
