Man dies after 49 hours of computer games
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A 28-year-old South Korean man died of exhaustion in an Internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, South Korean police said Wednesday.
Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu who was identified only by his last name, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping, refusing to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft.
Lee was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors are presuming was a heart attack, police said.
Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.
Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea, home to professional gamers who earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches.

============================== Just think , he hasn't even gotten comfy yet .
BTW Tard , the Political forum at HNI is now nearly a dead space since you and the stealthy one left . North Texan is now the primary agitator . hehehe ===============================
he he, yeah, I gotta hang around more often here, it could get "dicey" he he.
I noticed that abou the HNI, I pop in about every 3 or 4 days just to lurk and there is NO ONE there.
Get this, Stealthy had complained about them having sponsors that run canned hunts and he complained about it. Well, cause they knew his real name those idiots that run that site started sending info from all the canned hunt outfits to his house.
I told him to crap in a shoe box and mail it to justin or AJ....

Sorry , but I’ve received a couple of complaints on this thread. According to the rules of The Forum I had to remove these posts as we are striving for a “G” rating here.. See… huntingindiana.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=1121963969…………..where it says….. “The Forum will strive to ensure that all posts are polite, professional and conform to a "G" rating due to an absence of violence, sexual content[/u] and strong language.” “Posts containing personal attacks or harassing, inflammatory, vulgar, abusive, threatening, sexually-orientated[/u], hateful, or obscene language is prohibited on this Forum. Posts violating this prohibition will be removed.” Beastiality is about as “sexually-orientated”[/u] as it gets.. We do have several youngsters on here and we need to keep this family orientated. I hope you understand and will comply....

No prob Woody . They've probably already seen it on the local news by now anyway . In future would links to a story like that be permissable ? That's the way I usually post things like that .
