[QUOTE=Eluveitie;34527389]That's really, really disturbing. And depressing.

I think this is one of the cases where no amount of changing rules can make a notable difference. It's the people you need to work with if anything.

Christ, IMO that's a shitty way to die. I'd surely not want sitting on a chair playing video games to be the last moments of my life.

Because it's a game it reaches headlines, wow.

games are bad and hurting our chrildren!!

[QUOTE=GranPC;34526915]and took frequent naps[/QUOTE] I guess he was [I]dead[/I] tired

That picture is rather darkly comedic, the man's stone dead with his arms and hands still stretching out to the keyboard, as if even in death he still wants to keep going.

Worst of all he probably got banned for afking

How can league of legends even be fun for 23 hours? I can't stand more than one game in a row.

Only 23 hours? Weaaaak. Seriously though, people need to learn that it's ok to spend some hours away from your keyboard. You can stop climbing that ladder for a bit.

Nice generalisation.

Damn his mouse and keyboard position must have been so tight, even when they laid down his body he was still in it. [IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DG5Twj3nIVc/TytZswk5JTI/AAAAAAAAH1k/NriEmNGodHA/s1600/2.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Black;34526942]Atleast he died and was happy.[/QUOTE] Maybe he got is ass kicked and all of his champions died right before he died...?

i put the death down to league of legends rather than the 23 hours

[QUOTE=l l;34527038]I hate to be "that guy" but is this really news? Over a hundred thousand people die every day. All it is is publicity to suck more people in for LoL.[/QUOTE] yes because the fact that someone died playing it is a hot selling point that all game distributors strive to achieve are you stupid

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;34528619]yes because the fact that someone died playing it is a hot selling point that all game distributors strive to achieve are you stupid[/QUOTE] bad publicity is still publicity, cool attempt to put words in my mouth though

Reminds me of that Skyrim facebook prank. [url]http://www.dorkly.com/article/27365/the-real-danger-of-skyrim[/url]

Brb, going DAK DAK - dead at keyboard

[QUOTE=Eluveitie;34527389]That's really, really disturbing. And depressing. They really do need cutoff timers.[/QUOTE] He needed self control or addiction therapy. I never hear about anyone outside of the Asian community dying by playing games. Unless they're stabbing each other over a copy of Modern Warfare.

rigor mortis, body is still fresh. Still, surprising that this shit doesnt happen more often.
