Whoa... o_o

That is one of the strangest ways to go...

How can someone play that many hours of games straight?? I'm kinda surprised he didn't go mad first.

I couldn't tolerate five hours of video games, and this guy played fifty!? That's pretty ****ed up.

See, this guy was gaming at a cafe, so there were witnesses that could testify that it was the gaming that did him in. Imagine how many more gamers keel over after a three day WoW binge in the privacy of their own mountain of dirty clothes and empty Dr Pepper cans. Without witnesses, their deaths are chalked up to mere regular heart attacks.

Psh, I've already just about done that. What a pansy. It was probably Starcraft, too.

Heh, it was actually. My Girlfriend read the article somewhere else, and they specifically stated he was playing Starcraft.

No doubt in my mind. They live for Starcraft.

Pish posh, I went for 38 without breaking a sweat (AC turned up to max). Twas kind of wonky on the way to bed though.

When you can beat F-Zero GX Master Class with no sleep in 36 hours, you know you're good
