    There was another topic of this but anyway, at 28 years old you'd think he'd have more sence then that, what a dumbass.

    A note to everyone, Don't play games for 50 hours straight. If someone has to explain to you why you shouldn't then you ought not be playing games at all.

    So why are there cannibals?

    Well to begin with, he probably was very unhealthy, was not eating alot, was not drinking water or any fluids, etc. There are many factors that could relate to his heart problem.

    Oh yah I see it in the Pub. I looked for it but didn't think someone would put it there since I the article says he was playing war strategy games or something so that's technically off-topic. I would like to know more about his condition.

    Just the fact that they didn't mention anything about his health makes you think maybe there wasn't anything obviously wrong with him, but all it really says is "the police think it's due to exhaustion" but police aren't doctors so....yeah would be nice if they follow this up but it's not likely i guess.

    I suspect some form of drugs that got him to make that decision. or maybe someone at work made him reeeeally mad so he had to spend days killing stuff ::::31::

    I hope he wasn't a relative.

    I'm 1/2 Korean and it's my understanding that South Koreans have a very advanced gaming industry.

    He should've gotten his own computer (perhaps on a payment-per-month lease), with its desk right next to a bed. I have mine right next to my bed so if I need sleep, I'd just jump into it and even perhaps start dreaming before my head hits the sack! That helps preserve my health.

    He should've ordered delivery meals via cellphone from a Subway restaurant. He may have survived if so.

    Oh, and btw, what game was he playing?

    Warning: I could be on NoDoz caffeine pills so I hope I don't post anything outrageous!

    I dedicate this song to The Matrix Online & Asheron's Call 2 -- the games I hoped to play someday but had bit the dust before their prime.

    Shultz,

    that really does sound healthy. Maybe he could have been even more HEALTHY and lived even longer if he had fluid food injected directly into his veins, instead of ordering via cell phone, huh. Lol, hahah...
