Man dies after 49 hours of computer games
August 10, 2005, 8:10 AM EDT
SEOUL, South Korea -- A 28-year-old South Korean man died of exhaustion in an Internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, South Korean police said Wednesday.
Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu who was identified only by his last name, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping, refusing to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft.
Lee was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors are presuming was a heart attack, police said.
Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.
Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea, home to professional gamers who earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches.
Crazy I tell ya! lol Hope all are taking regular breaks and drinking plenty of fluids

I was reading about this a few days ago. I think he apparantly did sleep a little bit, had short naps every so often, but still died!  I duno how he could do it. He must have got DVT or something, i feel like i'm gettin it after 2 hours!
