Man dies from 50 hour gaming marathon

Actually this isn't the first time. Someone died playing Dance Dance Revolution. He collapsed after getting some ridiculous combo in nonstop mode and never got back up.

Maybe it was the combo for the fatality?

I am sad for the man and his family, as it unfortunate that he died while simply having trying to have fun (albeit in a rather excessive fashion). However I won't deny that I do find this completely legendary. What a hardcore mucka.

At least he died trying to have fun.

Wow, I am so glad I got bored of World of Warcraft.

Edit: Hey...did the guy even pay before dying?

Hoax'd.

Any normal person would stop to at least drink or eat, yes I know, a Korean gamer, but I really do very much doubt that it's true.

The same story was spread around a while back, it's the same thing just with a few minor changes.

Poor guy.

Wonder if anyone saved his game.

**Discord** · 08-12-2005, 02:12 AM

Poor guy! Well, he left the world while being happy.

would probably die from the drugs that might enable playing games for 50 hours, but not just from playing the game.

edit: merged the EoTW thread into this one.

R.I.P. you hardcore gamer you.

That seriously sucks, even more controversy for the gaming industry...

**Spammerman** · 08-12-2005, 02:40 AM

Wouldn't that mean that the company is makin good games, and its his fault for not having self restraint.

**Discord** · 08-12-2005, 03:02 AM

If you read your games manual it usually says that you shouldn't play more than 6 hours a day and should make a 15 min break every hour. I guess he didn't follow the rule.

Now seriously, I think it was his heart problems that caused it. Normal people don't die from getting tired, they fall asleep or go KO, but they do not get heart attacks. Well unless it was some very exciting game.
