Gaming might bad for the health after all considering that some Chinese gamer just died of exhaustion after a three-day online gaming binge.
The 30-year old man from Guangzhou died on Saturday, despite being rushed to hospital from the Internet cafe where he was playing. Hang on. This guy spent three full days playing an online game [unnamed, of course] in a cafe and no one thought to say: "Er, we're closing", or "No, you can't have your 27th cup of coffee" or "Hey buddy, go home, get some sleep". I'm no longer sure the game killed him.
Anyway, three consecutive days of doing anything, short of sleeping, would probably result in terminal exhaustion too.-Martin Lynch

Crazy. No-one in their right mind would put themselves through 3 days of gaming, no matter how good the game was.
Looks like the deceased has just made themselves a contender for the Darwin Awards.
