A man dropped dead from exhaustion after playing computer games for more than two days.

The 28-year-old South Korean man known as Lee began his online session on August 3 at a cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu,He only budged from playing the "battle simulation games" to go to the toilet and to catch a few zeds.

After spending around 50 hours online Lee collapsed and died.

Answer 2

Me and my husband play a lot of games, on our PS3 and on our laptop. Hes been playing some Godfather mafia game on the laptop and modern warfare 3 on the PS3 but he beat it weeks ago. I play all of the Sims games on the PS3, and also we both like Black ops still mostly for Zombies though we can play that all night! xD 1: Crappy, it snowed a few days ago and looked really pretty but now its all melting. :( 2. I don't actually talk to anybody on here I just like reading peoples comments. 3. Not sure. 4. Not much, just an hour or so when I can't find anything else to do while my husbands at work. It's boring where we live.

Answer 6

i saw it on a show once, i cant remmeber the one, i think it was law and order or some csi thingy. but he didnt die from playing for days, he dies from the energy drinks he was drinking while playing for days. maybe thats where you herd it from... because it sounds awfully familiar. its not a true story, but drinking too many energy drinks can kill you.
