Game Over, Man


The jury is in!

Playing video games will kill you!

Take the case of a Taiwanese gamer known only as Chuang.  The eighteen-year-old played Diablo III for forty straight hours at an internet cafe until he collapsed and died.  Of course, the fact that he hadn't eaten anything or slept may have been a contributing factor.

And Chuang wasn't the first fatality.

In February another gamer died in Taipei after indulging in League of Legends.  Unfortunately no one noticed he was dead at the internet cafe for another nine hours.  Cause of death -- heart attack.

Last year another couple of addicted gamers also died.

So you see, they might as well have been heroine or crack addicts.
