    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.

    Read entire story here.

    I guess the key is to try and keep it around 49 hours...

    What a way to go.Must have been a very addictive game.


    I think it is best to take a break every once in a while no matter how intense the game is.It's unfortunate nobody told this poor fellow this.

    Its been awhile since I had a good online war game. I was very addicted to SOF2 and also liked Return to Castle Wolfenstein (WW2 sure was fun, storming the beach was kick ass!) . Whats the best war game out now? I like capture the flag the most if that helps, any suggestions?

    There have been a few times Ive been surprised really bad and felt my heart hit the front of my chest.


    How about A ZP squad ( I hate clan!) to kick some fannys?

    Ah damn, and I thought my 24 hours of gaming once before was pretty hardcore. Suppose it's not too hard to believe.

    Now if he had a clone, the clone could played the games for him while he watches and takes breaks.

    U probably made a thread after there already was one on the same subject and a mod merged the two threads.
