Gamer Dies After 3-day Gaming Marathon

Investing too much time and effort into your hobby could be the death of you, as this man from southern China found out the literal way. The 30-something year old collapsed in front of his computer terminal suddenly after a three-day marathon online session at a cybercafe. Emergency personnel arrived on the scene but were unable to revive him. Apparently the 72-plus hours he spent in front of the computer proved to be his undoing, triggering heart problems.

I remember of at least one gamer in Korea who died after playing continuously for 4 days.
