"Man dies after 3-day gaming binge"

So... erm.... STOP already!

I remember those days, before I ruined my heart by drinking too much caffeine.

Begs the question: "What was he playing?"

No, everyone knows it was WoW.

Only if you are extrapolating that from his deservedness to die.

He could have been playing phoenix wright.

in China? The article sez no word - but I think that's the question on everybody's mind. I can't do that - I start to nod off about 4 in the morning usually

I can't even play video games anymore. He kinda deserved to die.

It must suck to live in China.

Well fuck me sideways, I never saw THAT before.

Oh wait, I did. Exactly year ago. And a year before that. And a year before that. And one more for good measure.

Every year around summer break someone dies in asia from online game overdose. It's a fucking tradition.

China doesn't have lawyers. Everyone's guilty, it saves the government money on the judicial process.

Also keeps the government, and to a lesser extent, the hospitals in fresh organs. Would be inhumane to jeopardise that.

Guy's a moron. He's dead. Good. I don't think we've lost a cure for cancer here. One less gas-station attendant, maybe. I don't mean to sound cruel or vicious, but I am, so that's the way it comes out.

If it was Korea we'd all know he died from too much ZERG RUSH. Since it's China, I dunno. Probably WoW or some cheapo Chinese imitation.

If it's Solitaire he's going straight to the Ninth Hell.

Back in the first student dorm room I lived in, there was an Chinese exchange-student at the room at the end of the hall. I never saw him outside of his room, ever, and when I one day went in there to say hello, he was in a raid in WoW with huge amounts of bottle of coke and cups of coffee around him on his desk and floor. I think it might be this guy who went home and then killed himself. Poor guy.
