Your right there, he's not human now, he's worm food.

[citation][nom]kristoffe[/nom]what's worse? dying at 18 by some clot or assholes making jokes about a dead person?[/citation]
Someone that stupid to do that to himself does not really deserve sympathy, darwinism did it's job.

[citation][nom]jkflipflop98[/nom]He's sitting in one position in a crappy little chair the entire time. This can cause a blood clot in your legs that then travels to your brain and then causes a hemorrhage.[/citation]
This was covered on 1000 ways to die on spike tv...

I couldn't even bear to get in a TOTAL of 40 hours into that game, let alone all at once. 🙁

[citation][nom]s3anister[/nom]I wasn't at all surprised by this news, just saddened.Diablo 3 is not fun enough to play for 40 hours straight; this man died a meaningless death.[/citation]

There are games that are fun enough to play for 40 hours and then die meaningfully???

 

[hate machine]

Diablo III, not even once.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. Just over one month. Should have bet money :-(

No no. he is human, because he succumbed to it. he just proved to us that he isn't infalliable like he would have us to believe

Thats why this stuff needs to be BANNED forever you hear me!? Killing ppl doesnt solve anything and you watch, more lawsuits to follow. This kind of violent things deserve NO place on Earth TRUST ME!

 

[masterasia]

Yeap.....he died a virgin.

I still play diablo 3 and I admit it's very repetitive and after a hour or 2 of playing I get sleepy and that's when i take a nap. I can't believe how anyone can play it for 40 hours straight. He must have really forced himself from not dozing off like I would have after the first 2 hours...

Darwinism at its best 😀

[citation][nom]viper666[/nom]actually i don't feel any other need when playing something i enjoy. Went without food for almost two days when i was playing Skyrim / Sacred / X3:TC and the weird part is that i didn't even notice/feet i was hungry. Guess video games are a good way to save money for the 660 Ti.[/citation]Your just as pathetic as the dead guy in the article

 

[farhadd]

Now that's what I call an unsatisfying endgame

 

[Gundam288]

he's not doing it right....

stayed up 81 hours before, 78 of that was WoW (haven't played in years tho..), the other 3 was Counter Strike.

granted I had bathroom breaks, food, and drinks but still.... unless he was over 300 pounds, I think calling him Asian would be a disgrace to the Koreans along with the Chinese gold farmers....

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]72 hours of continuous play with everquest... passed out at the keyboard somewhere between hour 73 and 77 though.i want to say i wasn't a complete moron, drank water, and ate good food while i was marathoning the game.now though... i usualy sit at the computer for 12 hour period of time, but never a good 24 hours... most of the time though i need to move so maybe a 5 hour straight session and 15-30 minutes of walking and back to it. but i had no friends when i did the 72 hour thing, and i have no life so i can be at the computer 24/7depends on the country... but generally, its not that one marathon that kills them, its the running on energy drink alone that does, and the fact that this marathon probably came after a prior marathon and that after another one. this was the session that did him in... you also have to imagine that some of those countries are hellish to live in, so any form of an escape is great. korean gamers have the possibility of celeberty status and the equilivant of a million $ career if they get great at starcraft, so alot play till they die trying to get that goal.[/citation]

No friends? No problem, just buy lots of mirrors and you'll have many friends. 😀 😛
Still it's a dumb way to die, he probably didn't even got up to a boss level yet.
There was also another Chinese gamer who died after playing for 22 hours, it said, when others discovered him, his hands was in the position, where he was reaching for his keyboard!
