Aaaah dumb gamer...

Well although it's not that funny (for his family) but rather sad, I thought it was surprising enough to talk about it. The list of people who died because of intensive LAN party has grown again. After that Thailand guy, several months ago, now it's a Korean, who played 86hours with no rest, no eating. Finally he died out of a heart stop... I knew that Starcraft was a religion in Korea, but that was really a dumb guy.
Also in the news, a little girl killed a guy who made a higher score than her in Pokemon... What a world... That one was not Korean, but I forgot where.
See, Pokemon is not a game for morons

Huh, why did Lefty edit my thread? And actually what surprises me is that he has changed absolutely nothing
check the thread title

 

[Chieftess]

What was the thread title?

Are you sure that really happened?

 

[GenghisK]

I don't remember at all. I thought the thread title was the one I wrote. Don't understand what he changed anyway.

 

[willemvanoranje]

well, the title expresses the right thing anyway.

Anyway, I've read about that guy not eating and sleeping for 86 hours... Really impressive.

I've also read somewhere (perhaps civ3.com) that there was a girl once locking her room so that her boyfriend could not come in so that she could finish her Civ1 game.

(Now I'm waiting for the reaction "That would be me..." )

Sounds like my kinda bird

Damn, a 12 year old girl in Thailand committed suicide. According to police and investigators, she was too depressed not being able to finish the Bomberman game on her Gameboy...

 

[Juize]

Holy ****... Where we're her parents? What about any social life, at all?

I've got many times angry, when I've lost civ games under school aged,
but never depressed... Very, very sad.

 

[Zcylen]

same to me.sometimes when I lost any city when playing civ3 I just kick the PC and throw stones to the parked cars but besides that Im a nice person


the only game which really made me feel like a zombie was the final fantasy tactics, once I forgot about the world by 20 hours, but only 20 hours.

but, that damn Wiegraf!!! I still hate him!!!

 

[willemvanoranje]

Don't play Pokemon, play Civ !
Even though it can last for days or weeks, it is not addictive. not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive not addictive
