[QUOTE=GlebGuy;36828111]It's really sad how stuff like this reinforces the stereo-type.[/QUOTE] Stereotypes don't exist for no reason.

All for 1 more damage

[QUOTE=Spawnster;36828255]Shitty game, and the kid was probably so shitty at it he died of shitting himself because he was so shitty.[/QUOTE] Make a fire and die in it We don't need people like you here

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;36828731]1, it was about 18 hours (because I'm pretty sure 70 hours of being awake and no repercussions is physically fucking impossible) and 2, people were vomiting, feeling physically ill and passing out.[/QUOTE] Yep [url]http://kotaku.com/5036371/final-fantasy-xi-boss-takes-at-least-18-hours-to-beat[/url]

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36828097]If course he was asian. Every one of these stories is an asian.[/QUOTE] i think it just depicts how dystopian some asian lifestyles can be.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;36828316]40 hours straight playing a video game. People think i'm addicted and I never play video games nearly that much. Before anyone is dumb enough to look at how many hours of play time it says on my profile [I]in the last two weeks [/I]for comparison: 336 hours in 14 days / 36.3 hours of playtime in the past two weeks... It's an [B]average of 9.26 hours a day for me; [/B]which is still a LONG time to be playing a video game. But that doesn't even come close to this guy. [sp]I just realized how contradictory that is; since it basically says I have no life[/sp] :suicide:[/QUOTE] [quote]Steam Rating: 1.5 Playing time: 4.7 hrs past 2 weeks (plus about 10ish on console in that time period) [/quote] Dang man you might wanna cut back.

[QUOTE=loopoo;36828278]God damn, the guy was 18. What a waste of his life. Makes me sad thinking of the happiness he could have had later on in life: getting married, having a kid, growing old with his family. Damn.[/QUOTE] Then again, I don't think someone that plays a game for 40 hours in one sitting has a chance at ever getting a girl, let alone getting married.

[QUOTE=joost1120;36829573]Then again, I don't think someone that plays a game for 40 hours in one sitting has a chance at ever getting a girl, let alone getting married.[/QUOTE] He probably would've made it to his late 30s and then he would kill himself.

[QUOTE=joost1120;36829573]Then again, I don't think someone that plays a game for 40 hours in one sitting has a chance at ever getting a girl, let alone getting married.[/QUOTE] Especially now that he's dead.

Well, time to take a walk.

[quote]According to the Mirror, authorities believe the teenager may have suffered a blood clot due to sitting for such a long period of time.[/quote] Well, I'm fucked.

[QUOTE=markg06;36828569]How do you not go to the toilet or eat in 40 hours.[/QUOTE] I can go about that much time without a bathroom break, I don't know about food but if he really wanted to keep playing I'm not entirely surprised it got to the point where he died

[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;36829440]Yep [url]http://kotaku.com/5036371/final-fantasy-xi-boss-takes-at-least-18-hours-to-beat[/url][/QUOTE] That's utterly ridiculous. Giving bosses insane health/longevity isn't challenging, just tedious. If you're really going to make a fight like that it had better have a thousand different ways to fight him and not just standing around his legs pressing 1234.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;36828241]An Internet cafe that not only stays open 24/7 apparently, but allows you to book a room for at least 40 hours? What?[/QUOTE] Taiwan

Hardcore mode

How come they always die in internet cafes?

[QUOTE=TamTamJam;36830217]How come they always die in internet cafes?[/QUOTE] Maybe Internet cafes over there are cheaper than paying for your own stuff. They even get a room and everything, they probably work like a hotel. Internet cafes must be a big business over there.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;36830452]Maybe Internet cafes over there are cheaper than paying for your own stuff. They even get a room and everything, they probably work like a hotel.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36828097]If course he was asian. Every one of these stories is an asian.[/QUOTE] I got banned for racism last time I said this. Quite sad to be honest.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36828097]If course he was asian. Every one of these stories is an asian.[/QUOTE] There was one white guy that died of DVT.

That shows a whole new level of [I]no live gaming[/I]. :v:

Makes me sad thinking of the happiness he could have had later on in life: getting married, having a kid, growing old with his family. Damn.[/QUOTE] But duuuude, it's [I]inferno mode. [/I]Besides, I bet his family's really pissed his Hardcore playthrough ended early.

Honestly, how? How do you manager ignore all those signs of deprivation (hunger, sleep, etc.)? That's really sad. I've had some pretty long gaming sessions, but it's really hard to ignore your body when it's hungry and all that stuff. Also I'd really like to know how he managed to keep himself falling asleep and/or shitting himself.

It's pretty pathetic, but if you think about it, he at least died doing something he loved :v:

40 hours? what a fucking idiot

That kid forgot that real life is always hardcore mode.

He won't get to see Episode 3.

I can't stand to spend more than 3-4 hours on video games, even that much continuous play time burns me out for the day

Just play RuneScape, you won't die from that; You might just start slightly cutting yourself. :zoid:
