VOV Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Incidents such as this happen quite often in South Korea :? There are quite a few stories about people getting killed due to online feuds in LAN centres, people dying from exhaustion, parents leaving their kids alone for hours at a time. It's quite scary. I know the price. I pay it gladly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hasn't happened to me or anyone I know yet. And we used to do such things fairly often over summer... Wonder if he ate... we always did :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Quite ridiculous if you ask me. You say it's freaky, but it's not like a situation such as this isn't hard to prevent. I'm not going to say he didn't have a life, but he should have spent the life he had on other activities. There is absolutely no reason someone should be doing something like this.

Mercifull Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Someone died in England recently from DVT after sitting down for hours playing games. Just losers if you ask me, theres more to life than playing games. This Korean dude for example quit his job just to play more games. Why did his family and friends now get him to a psychiatriast?

____ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Sit around long enough doing the same thing and DVT could happen. But even the most dedicated gamers know how to watch their health. Least the professional ones anyways... not outright addicts. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrune Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Its bad that he died but he brought it on himself. Like Bubsa said his parents or close relations should have taken a more active role in trying to stop him playing them... :roll: And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Its bad that he died but he brought it on himself. Like Bubsa said his parents or close relations should have taken a more active role in trying to stop him playing them... :roll: Psst, that was Merc. :wink: I do believe that's a tad extreme though. Sure, I'll sit down and play games for hours and hours but never long enough to do myself damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_the_Viscous Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I think a lot of fuss would be made about this because it was whilst playing a computer game. One could just as easilly die from sitting around doing anything for too long; it's just because computer games have a bad reputation amongst those people who like to complain a lot and need a scapegoat. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thing is, the media will pick up on this and go on about how games made him do it, yada yada yada. When, in actual fact, it was his own dumb self that made him sit there for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the guy playing Everquest commited suicide becaue somebody haxxed his 1337 Sw0rd. Could be we are confusing two different people, of course.

Necromagus Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The popularity of gaming in South Korea is insane. There are professional Starcraft teams that have their own coaches and uniforms, some teams expect ten hours a day of training from their members. There's even a tv station devoted entirely to professional gaming. If there's any country where a guy is going to game himself to death, you can bet it's South Korea.

Lionheart_0 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 :? These peopl who do this to themselves are very sad people... Then again i dont agree with the people who say that the people who die have no life and what not. The same can be said for those who smoke their whole life, do something dangourase for a living, are boring their whole, ect (meaning preatty much anything). Basicly what im saying is that even though you people may not see this as a good way to live, perahps others do. I like gaming, heack without it i would probably be board my whole life (which=enemy of survivel= possibility of dieing from lack of games :wink: ). But i found a balance, and it works out for me!

vladmoney Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Well Korea takes computer gaming quite seriously and there are quite a few addicts and people who play 50 hours straight there. Its sad to see this happen, i guess his body just couldn't handle it. He probably has played 50+ hours before and it all adds up until your body just breaks. Sad Rizla love your avatar by the way.
