According to this story, you can die after 50 hours of non-stop playing from the heart failure.

Yes, and a lot of people have a heart attack and die because they didn't have enough fiber in their diets. Oh, and more people die from falling over in the bathtub than are eaten by sharks.
And another one, there's a suprising number of people who have to be taken to the hospital emergency after injuries caused by paper money.
What does this mean? Anything can kill you, if you're stupid enough.

I wouldn't call someone dying hilarious....
Maybe there should be a warning about game addiction or something, if things like this happen.

Yes, and we should put warnings on packets of peanuts saying "FOR ORAL CONSUMPTION ONLY! DO NOT INSERT IN EARS OR NOSE!".
There comes a time when you have to just accept that some people are just f*cking morons, and Darwin has decreed that their stupidity must have a consequence. Trying to dumb down the world by warning people about bloody obvious things is just insulting to the rest of the thinking population.

"Warning do not play this game if you are an idiot, it may cause harm"...
Why on earth would you play 50 hours nonstop? ------------------

I just view this as a good thing. A little 'chlorine' in the gene pool. A VERY good thing IMHO.

I refuse to believe it was StarCraft, I'm sure it was WarCraft.

Remember about CCP intentions to attract a lot of Asians? Well, if most of them have same determination to play, like this Korean guy, Eve can became a really deadly game. Also, imagine, in the battle, on TS, you suddenly hear die away groans.... That's spooky.

I could imagine that happening in Eve...
"Guys I... can't... feel my left arm... I feel tingly"
"NOOB!, Press f1-f8 with your right arm before you kick off, we need to win this fleetbattle"
Seriously though, thats the reason why they have downtime in EVE, for our own good.

And downtime can be used to catch up with your buddies in WoW or whatever, right?

hmm well I remember when diablo 2 came out and we played it non stop for a long weekend in order to finish it.
I was able to stay awake long enough to finish it with a couple of other guys, but i was very tired.
We just finished and I went yep must sleep and exited from the game... I ALMOST GOT KILLED by the other guys who were sorting their inventories, as they had started to empty items out onto the floor. |
