Default Man goes blind from computer games

So fellas, if video games actually do make you go blind, imagine what else does...

Man goes blind playing computer games

A Chinese man was hospitalized for blindness after playing computer games for four straight days.
New meaning for Dimwit

Bet the games really began when Xu got home

Xu, of Xining, capital of Qinghai province, went to a cyber café after quarreling with his wife, China Daily reports. The businessman went without sleep for four straight days playing online games there until he complained he had lost his vision.

Doctors said Xu, whose age was not released, suffered from temporary blindness.

New meaning for dimwit.
