Man dies from gaming ...

http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/20-year-old-man-dies-after-marathon-gaming-sessions/ ... another one bites the dust.

That's the way I want to go.

Sucks he was only 20 years old.

I want to know what game did he play

Sound likes me, just swap the Xbox to PC.

There are smart people in the world after all.

See there doesn't need to be any warnings or what not.. Hey guys did you know that if you drink too much water you can die! If your sleep deprived for too long you can die! This should be COMMON sense that abuse of any kind can be hazardous to the person's health..

LOL at that 'token gamers' picture.

That's not what we're supposed to look like is it? 'Cause in that case I sure as hell am doing it wrong.

Edit: Oh and also shame about that dude, seems rather unlucky to me, a 20 year old getting DVT must be pretty uncommon.

Man, that sucks for the man's family. Anyway, should I worry about this? I usually get on Xbox for like 3 hours a day. After that, I'm usually on my laptop for like 2-3 hours. Should I worry about this?greendayR0cks

Just make sure you walk around once in a while. This guy was probably completely stationery all day long.

That guy was playing Duke Nukem forever! That's how this happened.

Yeah I usually play maybe unless I am really trying for something around, 5 hours out of the most. That dude must have been one of them excessive Reach players that needed to play the game all the time. Still sad to hear.

I'd have a blood clot too, if I played it. Good thing there's going to be Serious Sam 3! :P

I feel no sympathy for him, just his family. He died doing what he loved can't really complain about that.

Crap, I just played a 360 for a very long amount of time earlier as well.

Oh well, my life was okay while it lasted.

If he had the Kinect none of this would have happened.

12 hours? I play more than that daily.

At least he died doing what he loved most.

Great. More poorly worded news articles that make gaming out to be the enemy. :roll:scorch-62

Shouldn't have played it for that long. Feel sorry for him and his family though, but that's just crazy - 12 hours?!?

[QUOTE="scorch-62"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] I'd rather not jog on the spot, turning every 2 minutes so i can play my RPG's either.Nibroc420

Sports games are fun on Kinect. Kinect sports is pretty good, why do you hate kinect so much?

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="scorch-62"] Because every game is either an RPG or a shooter.DumbPanda

It's fun though, if you have friends then it's a great laugh to play it with them. Explain what's gimmicky about the control scheme of the Wii and Kinect?

12 hours in one sitting that's crazy I can barely only it past 3-4 hours.

it said he loved halo and i doubt he was playing halo 3. so how the hell could he possibly find halo reach that entertaining? i get bored of it within 2 gameshadoken

up to 12 hours at a time? I get bored after 2 or 3 hours. SF_KiLLaMaN

just imagine playing with someone as they die in real life :shock:
