"unbelievable Story? Man Dies FromToo Much Gaming!"

Yes unbelievable or not according to this story at http://www.vnunet.com/News/1135824 "A South Korean games addict died after playing non-stop for 86 hours"

Personally I think it must have been something he ate, possibly a hot dog ;)

Epilepsy.

Unfortunatly, my mum has it :c(

He could be one of those people who have epelepsie(You try spelling it, cue loads of people replying spelling it) attacks. If he doesnt normally then it would be becuase he was tired and it makes them worse likely to happen.

longest ive been on PC was about 6 hours, on computers with mates it would be nearly all day on my own maybe 7 hours....but i always pause to get a drink and some food.

Does anyone here play OFP online? i would love to play someone on sr who connents through gamespy. Just leave your member name and ill contact you with player spy.

the korean guy most likley didn't eat and probly drank barely anything.

as long as you eat and drink you can stay awake for quite a while.

I must now mention i am i addict to operation flashpoint online, i was just playing it. I now play on average 2-3 hours a night as i now have broad band and a 2.8ghz, which can easily handle it unlike ye old 450mhz. As Mega as it might have been, it wasnt in the league of Giga.

Urm not last saturday, but the saturday before that whenever it was a played operation flashpoint online for 13 hours straight with no meals! My whole family had gone to drop my sister off to london as she was moving to uni. I had a good sleep the night after i did me.

The longest time I've played a game for is roughly 8 or 9 hours. I was playing Mario Kart 64 with my mates and time passed away very quickly.

That is one of the best multiplayer games that I have ever played.

He was according to the article in a cyber cafe, so I doubt he would have been playing Mario Sunshine.
