A Man died from playing too much game online!!!!

[CheapTOFU]

I got this from diabloii.net

Check this out


I know this has nothing to do with CPU OC'ing...
But we all need to know about this..

 

[DJBOB]

Now I've heard some pretty strange stuff at lan partys and what not but this tops it all. Proof that reading a book is better then playing games on the computer, now where's that ebook.com again?

 

[Jgtdragon]

Well, when it is time to go, you can't stop it.

 

[MadRat]

It must have been the stepping of his CPU was set too low and then the multiplier had been programmed to run asynchronous instead of its normal x86-64 bi-parrallel integer predication. *hint* points at CPU-related forum *hint*

 

[Richardito]

The negativelly charge electrons on the screen caused his front brain cells to go thru a dipole moment. This is what really killed him.

 

[bsr]

Well, atleast he died having fun ... Probly had a seizor, there is warnings on games that tell you not to play if you have seizors.

 

[BD231]

I bet the computer had nothing to do it, there had to be something wrong with him to just die. Fatiuge and stress proabably set something off.

 

[CoDerEd]

people could just sitting at home watching tv and died from heart attack
or sitting at bus stop and got hit by drunk driver... you can die just everywhere!

 

[CrazySwede]

Now I'm scared sh*t. I work with computers and also use my computer home alot. Im sure i'm starring at the screen 8 hrs+ every day..

 

[camara120]

*hint*

nothing to worry about, your odds of dieing like that are 1 to 1,000,000 ... well since your on 4 times longer than average person your odds are 4 to 1,000,000. LMAO ... You stand a bigger risk of your chair falling apart and you bust your head on the floor .. or the EMP's in the room giving you brain cancer, or something like that . worst thing to worry about is your eyes from staring at the screen, or your arm getting carpal tunnel

It probably had more to do with the crystal meth that is rumoured to be added into the drinks at many Asian gaming cafes to keep their patrons wide awake and playing all night..

 

[SupermanCK]

isn't that what happened to those kids who watched pokemon too much...too much flashing...good thing i always avoid flashbangs from opponents in CS

Interesting "conspiracy theory".

The flashing will only trigger seizures in people with epilepsy if I recall correctly but this kid could have been undiagnosed and suffered one, who knows? it would be nice to hear the coroner's report

 

[krazykilroy]

remember that thing with the pokemon?? That was funny.

Kids caught Epilectic seizures from watching japanese pokemon shows, and then later on that day, the news shows clips from the show to report it, and more kids caught seizures. off da hee-zie!!

 

[CrazySwede]

Could it have been sushi?

 

[Jeff7]

If he did have epilepsy or some seizure disorder, he or someone who knew him would know it by now. I had a single seizure in my life - an antidepressant that my psychiatrist prescribed for me caused it. 1 in a 1000 were the odds; guess I was the one. The class was quietly working on a Telnet lab, when I apparently crashed out of my chair; was told I had a heck of a seizure too. They set me back in my chair then after I stopped convulsing, and when I "came back online" I just went back to the lab - never knew anything had happened until I was told.
Ok, enough reminising....but yes, if he had seizures, someone would know. Might be one of those really rare things like a freak heart attack or something.

i remember this happening like two or three times in korea....to people over 25
maybe games should come with some sort of health warning. =o

they do, dont you read the first few pages of most games handbook ? says something about people with seziors not to play because it can cause injury or death (just seen that in PSX game book, never read PC game book)

 

[Barrei]

Unreal

 

[JackBurton]

Man, that is how I want to go. Finishing 1st on UT2003 and then dropping dead would be the way I would want to go. But if I got 2nd that would suck.

 

[RatedR]

sounds like a well planned MOB hit to me

 

[cavemanmoron]

Far Out Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bartman39]

Hummm...? Bet a cup of coffee was sitting next to him...? "hint"
