Re: OT: Too much game playing!
I think it's that way with most of the B.net games.

Re: OT: Too much game playing!
The story is bull****. If it is true, then he died playing a seven year old game and must have had a heart condition to begin with. I have played many 48 hour game fest before and I know of at least six others in my PCP circle. Also there were the 500 or so people who attended the old TribesCon lan parties... most of them played for three days without sleep.

Re: OT: Too much game playing!

Easy way to find out someone go grab starcraft and play for 50 or so hours straight.

I think if we used SEIV as an example half the forum has proved that it is possible without any noticeable adverse side-effects. I know I have.  |

Re: OT: Too much game playing!
Maybe this wasn't the first time he had done that - That week. And the week before - And so on.
Although now that AT has brought that up, the story is starting to look a little threadbare.

Re: OT: Too much game playing!
Yes, I've done so myself, but even then I bet you took brief breaks for food and drink, or at least had some with you at the computer. Most internet cafes I've been in won't let you have food at the computer in case of an accident.
Besides we don't really know what this guy was doing up to that point. Maybe he had just finished another playing spree somewhere else, and after being kicked out for being there way to long, went to the one he died at.
Another thing, I think the statistic is that the human body can only live 2 days with out water. I may be off on that, but I think that's right.
