Man Dies After Marathon Game Session

Tuesday August 9, 2005
CNN reports that a South Korean man died of heart failure after playing computer games for almost 50 hours straight, taking only bathroom breaks and short naps on a makeshift bed. Apparently, the man was particularly fond of StarCraft and had recently quit his job to spend more time gaming. I suggest you consult a qualified physician before attempting to do anything for 50 hours non-stop without food or sleep. (Thanks Slashdot.)
