to all you board whores:

A computer game addict in western China collapsed and died at his screen after playing the popular online game Saga non-stop for 20 hours, a news report said today.

Story

Bummer

Yup. And good luck finding his body now. With all the chinese buffet they have.

he's so weak :(

poor guy, bu twhy play saga for 20 hours?

not the first one and I guess not the last one

LOL, nocarrier, @ the chinese buffet. Poor bastard, heheheheh

too bad it was only after 20 hours of gaming, and any hardcore american gamer has done that before. Just another hype

I've done probably close to twenty hours with no real problems. Maybe its a really good murder coverup?

I can see he must have got too excited, and with the lack of sleep, he just died. They get a bit too involved in what they are doing sometimes.

What a noob, wtf is 20 hours? maybe if we were talking 60 hours + then it would be a different story.

i think a lot of us are online 20 hours a row on a weekly basis

That's too bad the newbie bit the dust... what a bad way to go..

Unless this is another guy from China that died in a cafe while playing a 20 hour session its just an ongoing internet story.

I heard that story waaaaaaay back with the game of Myst and then again a few years ago with something else.

If they are true stories maybe the cafes should set limits on how long a user can use there machines. :1orglaugh

thats pretty tragic, he must have had something wrong with him, i did a 19 hour php stint a few weeks back, my brain was pretty tired after that

If I havent died yet then I am not scared
