DEATH BY VIDEO GAME

Maybe Blagonad was right...

From Reuters:

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. ***

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.

This should serve as a warning for teen-agers -- If you play too many video games, you will still be living with your mom when you are 28 years old.
