"A 24-year-old South Korean man dies after 86 hours of straight gaming without food or sleep.

According to an Associated Press report, South Korean police said today that a man has died after an 86-hour gaming marathon.

The incident occurred at an Internet caf

 

What the hell was he playing for 86 hours.

 

Hmm.... Well, I've always said that I'd like to cash in my chips doing something I really ... Maybe behind the wheel or some other less mentionable things... not driving a joystick!

 

I think the least the could have done was report if had had won or lost the game he was playing.

 

Despite my affinity for computers, I've never cared much for games. Go figure. Can't imagine seriously gaming for more than a few hours at a time.

Yeah, we can only hope that he set some new records at his game!

 

Couple of hours is usually my limit too. One of my brothers will spend a day playing a game inside on his computer while the is out and the weather is perfect.


I would much rather spend time outdoors in the fresh air and do something active.

 

All kinds of posts to bang into and other things to trip over out there, right Peter!

 

That's why I always wear a helmet when I'm outside.

 

I admire his dedication.

 

Is that how the UnaB will meet his maker someday?

Peter, I've now got this mental image of you with the helmet on!
