A report from South Korea is just started to circulate: A South Korean 28 year old man dies after playing nonstop for 50 hours online games.

The man played some kind of on-line battle simulation games at the cybercafe and only made toilet breaks and took a couple power naps. He died most likely from heart failure.
More details in this Reuters story (Thanks Yizhi S.).

In June acco to a report about the killing of an online gamer, because he was selling a virtual sword from the Legend of Mir 3 that did not belong to him.

Gaming has become a life style and has more and more social and other impacts on daily life. It can as the case above also of course be highly addictive. There are tons of people who play all night online role playing games. Nothing wrong with that as long as you eat, drink and do not loose your job and wife/husband. :@
 
wierd. i remember staying up all night and finishing Shnemue on DC at 10 in the morning, taking a 2 hours break and finishing Sonic Adventure by 8 in the night (yea all this happened in the absence of my parents :P ) dying from 50 hours of gaming is a little too much, something else must've going on with him...
 
ya,
i have played AOE for almost 14 hours non stop and break of 2-3 hours and played again for almost 8 hours and i was still in a fresh mood.

i have even worked for almost 48 hours (non stop 2 days of work while setup upgrade and i did not slept for even an hour but i took 3 breaks for lunch and cofee etc.....)

i dont think playing game for 50 hours can kill a human.
somethig else must be the readon.

by the way this is best way for people who wants to die.

play 50 hours and die
no pain and you leave earth with great entertainment.

hehehehehe
