OMG :ahhhhh:

I personally do not think that his death had anything to do with staying on the computer too long. I say that because way too many of us here spend a consderable amount of time on computer's. :lol:

You have to remember china is trying to illiminate the fact that many people spend too much time on computers.
So that may be the kind of thing to scare their people for playing too much on the PC.

I can see it happening, some poeple are just plain to stupid to know when enough is enough. If you go without eating and drinking for 3 days along with not taking a potty break, it could easily happen, some folks just aren't very brite don't ya know.

If he didn't move much i could have been a blood clout in the legs that formed then broke loose. Not all that hard to imagine. hospitals now require over nighters have this thing that uses air to squeeze there legs so it doesn't happen. But I seriously doubt that is was the computer that killed him like the Chines government will want people to believe.

What kind of internet café stays open 24/7 anyway?

If he really didn't move/eat for 3 days I'd say his heart issues were the least of his problems. :) Thank you for cleaning the gene pool, come again!

We still don't know what game he was playing, I'd like to know what's fun enough to play 3 days straight!

I would have put my money on World of Warcraft. The crack of on-line gaming.

oh...another popular game. Still, though i doubt even the most addicted person would play for 72 hours straight...Unfortunately, this guy still goes in my "idiot" category...:frown:

Damn I remember spending an awful lot of hours on Starcraft myself but not 72. That is just retarded. Well chalk this one off to natural selection. Nice to know it is still working even though I think not that efficiently!

well, actually, starcraft mania is mounting (just like Halo 3 mania), especially because Blizzard has announced that StarCraft II will be released soon...
