A 28-year old South-Korean male from the city of Taegu died from exhaustion after playing computer games for almost 50 hours non-stop.

Lee collapsed in a cybercafe this friday and died in the hospital, the cause of death was a heartattack. According to the police the man had barely eaten and hadn´t slept because he couldn´t stop playing Starcraft. Also according to the police, the man got fired last month because he never showed up, probably because of his Starcraft addiction...

Maybe GH should set up a new forum section: Gamaholic's Anonymous

"Oh no! Im addicted to Gamahol!"

Maybe he took the : ''Game Over'' text to literally

Seems like he had no self control and restraint.

Maybe he heard of a secret level in Super mario Bros but couldn't find it in StarCraft. He got so mad that he died.

anywhooo, that guy is just one of those hundreds of south korean noobs who fall at the merciless hands of gaming.
