from the he-was-probably-britished dept.
A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday. The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said. Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said. Initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, police said. An autopsy was planned. Source Article can be found in The Sydney Morning Herald

Old news, of a guy who was most likely escaping from problems in his life.

Online games, especially mmorpgs, offer a perfect escape for the depressed.  It's odd how most of the people who log more than a couple hours a day in a game have some kind of mental disease.

I play an online RPG called Runescape while at work , and between 1/2-1 hour AH every day. This averages to more than 2 hours/day . Do I have a mental illness? :eek: :confused: ;)
