Man some people in China, Singapore and Japan go insane over games. Especially MMOs like world of warcraft.

You mean some American nerds here never play games for days? But yeah, playing for 4 straight days is CRAZY. Didn't he have to eat, or shit?

I don't get how people forget to eat when playing these games? I remember an old MMO that people would play for a week straight, but at least they had the sense to use the bathroom and make a sandwich once in a while.
