GameToo Much...... And Die!
A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday. The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said.
Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said. Initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, police said. An autopsy was planned.

In related gaming news: sam_handelman writes "In an article on the front page of the online edition, (free reg required) the new york times takes a rather negative look at the rise of broadband gaming in South Korea. The author, Howard W French, is a Times staff writer, with a background in staggering human tragedy, which may help to explain why he thinks my hobby is an epidemic. There was a wired article about Korean broadband (summary: they have lots), which we already discussed."

I'm a devout muslim, and I don't obsess about death. I just want to make the most of my life, and not waste it with alcohol, drugs, fornication, adultery, etc. And I do not fear death, as I know Allah is all-just.
I just get saddend when people show so little compassion. Many of the kids at my high school laugh when I tell them about the atrocites Israel is comitting against the Palestinians, or vice versa.
You're assuming that she is getting special treatment. She is not. Do your homework next time.

It's TRUE.
I read it on the Internet.
Migor rocks.
Dude, you look a little paler than usual
so there's no reason for you to compare it to video games.
thank you, drive through.
You're a fucking retard. Obviously at the community college you went to where you took the Networking class they didn't really explain the fundamentals of logic to you. Logic pertains to the ability to evaluate Boolean statements, which are composed of Boolean variables. You see, Boolean variables can evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE. Even if you can phrase a political question in the form where it is TRUE or FALSE, the fact is that your ideology is going to dictate whether that statement is TRUE or FALSE. Conversatives use their logic to evaluate statements such as, "Should we give a tax cute to the upper 1%?" to TRUE while a liberal might use his or her logic to evaluate that statement to FALSE. You're showing a basic misunderstanding of what logic is and how it is used in everyone's daily life. I'm not entirely sure you weren't just trying to be funny - which failed miserably, as it always does with you. But in any case, you're so fucking petty and homosexual that you really disgust me. And normally when I respond to people when they're in the wrong, I'll be kind about it and just try to show my point but in your case, I know that you're so fucking dense you won't understand regardless. You're a 40 year old virgin, faggot.
Is that you?!? And i only did that a couple of times!!!

To be "on-topic" you would have to make a joke about Linux beowulf clusters that render 3d models of a petrified Natalie Portman covered in HOT GRITS!
