TimSpano 23025 cr points Send Message: 17 / M / Long Beach Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 7/18/12 I say, it was his own fault for not taking the 5 minutes needed to friggin eat a bagel! Now, obviously this news will bring more people saying that "this is why video games are bad for kids". But my response to that is, the people who die from playing too much video games, would probably be the same people who die from something else back in the day. It's not about playing video games too much, but rather, it's about self control.

Diablo 3 wasn't even that great, in my opinion. What killed it for me, was the constant spam of error 3007 that was not fixed for over a week.

I believe this happened before with a story about someone playing WoW for 3 days and dying, then it surfaced that they had heart problems anyway. It makes a better story if you say that a video game killed them.

AshRandom 10876 cr points Send Message: 34 / New York Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 7/18/12 You just simply can't die from not eating for 2 days.... Either it was dehydration, or some hereditary medical issue. As for dropping dead playing video games, so what? People drop dead in the middle of far less entertaining activities every second of the day. In fact in the time it took me to write this, 107 people died because we're currently at that many deaths per minute globally. What are the chances that of those 107 people any of them spent the last 48hours of their life having fun?
	Report to Moderator Interesting career, sounds like a job which will soon be replaced by robots.

I been spending 8 hours a day at work in front of a computer since 1999. I am still alive. :P That being said, when I retire, I want to be a farmer. Computers suck. @ Zetaa-Nu, i have spent a ton of time on my computer, laying down, sitting down, standing up and have NOT died yet. @GodWhomIsMike, I agree with you that computers suck because nowadays EVERYTHING is due to technology, especially making ppl lazy.

Everything sucks today because of computers. I bet you without computers, there would not the degree of unemployment that we see today, or the degree of outsourcing that is done today.

I also do not understand why nobody in that store stopped him. I mean the employees should have realised what he is doing. :/

In reality it's "stupidity is bad for kids" ...these morons are eating spoons of dry cinnamon and seeing how long they can hold their breath or how many shots cause alcohol poisoning. They do deserve what they get. I don't feel bad for people who don't think. .........Even planking has claimed lives by doing it in dangerous places... Stupidity has no limits with some people.
