The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsGame Over
I knew gaming was enjoyable, but I didn't know it could become as obsessive as this.
A 28 year old South Korean man died of a heart attack after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours in an Internet cafe. Evidently, the man refused to leave his computer station and didn't sleep and ate little while playing a game called Starcraft.
That game and many others are extremely popular in South Korea where many professional gamers gain sponsorship money and the like.
Lee, the man who died while gaming, had been fired from his job for missing work as a result of too much gaming.

What POSSIBLE game could keep one occupied that long? I don't even think MuDing would do that... let alone the cost of the netcafe.
Some people really need to just walk away from the bloody thing.

Wow I thought Everquest (aka - EverCrack) would be the game to kill somebody. What a crazy story!
