Man Dies Playing Computer Games

August 9th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

Aqute discovered an interesting story of a 28 year old man who died of heart failure due to exhaustion after playing video games for a solid 50 hours, only stopping for toilet breaks.

Some of my colleagues come into work on Mondays bragging about spending 30 hours plus playing World of Warcraft.  Although their enthausism for the game is infectious and has almost convinced me to give it a try, I’m resisting as I don’t want anything to dominate my life that much, particularly not a game.
