That's the story. This is really weird.

A man sits in a cybercafe for 3 days straight, then just drops dead. Probably from heart problems, which would have something to do with the overuse of the computer, the coffee? and probably a lack of sleep.

I'm guessing WOW?

But, i'm guessing he didn't have ANY breaks. Don't you? Don't all of us? Just wlak off go look in the fridge, stretch your legs or something?

I'll admit i probably clocked up 20 hours on the weekend, including 12 straight on satdy night, at some gaming thing. But every time the games were loading we'd get up and walk around. You can't just sit there, so stupid.

From what I know, lots of people have died from overplaying World Of Warcraft. My brother has that game I just can't find what he finds amusing in it. He runs around, shoots a arrow at something, picks up some stuff then runs to the next thing. Oh look at that, I leveled up. I can see a great incentive here. Kill something, walk a bit, kill another thing. There are no goals other then to get the number field known as level to be as high as possible.
World of Warcraftosis. It traps people indoors where they rot and die.

I guess I can wrap it up with this picture:

Make love not Warcraft
I don't play MMOs for that reason.

I heard in America (ha ha www.yugiohtheabridgedseries.com/ -in America) and maybe even here that people are getting addicted to cocaine so that they can stay up all night and play WoW

I can relate that all too much. I usually get up, walk around to get a drink or something. People are generally lucky to catch me on MSN because quite often the computer is on but no one is there.

Maybe he got it from needle sharing with his fellow heroin addicts that he uses to stay on the computer all night. Just Messing.

You see I would never use drugs to stay on the computer, Im a natural insomniac

Yekolf, I think the thread stays open if it stays active. Unless of course someone causes too trouble or it goes too far off topic. Also social threads can be about anything.

I find it hard to belive that anyone would want to spend so long on a computer. It can cause so many problems (Occupational Health and Safety for computers was the very first thing my class was taught at TAFE. Besides, it's all common sense).

Are they sure he wasn't dead long before they figured it out? lol Poor guy. Not too smart though.

@ Yekolf - not all threads have to be about psp's. threads get locked when they have either served their purpose (eg. answering a question or selling something) or when people start getting off topic (eg. flaming, random posts ect)

@yekolf. Stop being so cynical. If you've got a problem with threads that keep this place alive, then either deal with it by building a bridge and getting over it. Or just leave. Doesn't bother me. No one else seems to mind.

sorry about that last post, i was just angry (not at you guys).

ANYWAY just so we dont get off topic, the other night i was on myspace till 2am, i was always thinking stuff like "wouldnt it be cool if i made my own layout?" and "wow im gonna try make my own Moving display pic". eventually i kept finding more and more stuff, thinking that i would go to bed after i did that ONE thing. so I know where he's coming from... BUT FOR 3 WHOLE DAYS!?!?
