Whoa! I know someone who had an epileptic stroke or something after playing computer games for four days straight, but that one can die…

Because Diablo 2 is one of the most addicting games ever! Booyah!
Actually I don't play all that much but it's pretty addicting.

Never, ever argue with a conservative. They'll pull you down to their level and then beat you with experience and lack of logic.
Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

I've played Madden from about 9:30 PM to 2 AM straight ... I guess I'm just lucky.

Hmm, I'm guessing I should stay away from my Lightning tree now... Thunderstorm may be the end of me.
The Fire and Ice trees, however, are still wide open. Woohoo.
And, forgive me for being a bit insensitive (and this may make me seem a bit predjudiced; I'm not), but doesn't it seem that those of Asian descent tend to get screwed over by flashing lights on a regular basis? Some kids went into seizures in Japan a few years back from a TV show, both people cited in the link above seem to be of Asian descent (based on their names and the URL: newspaper.asia1.com.sg)...
Not trying to sound racisist, just something I realized while reading that.

Maybe it has nothing to do with games at all. Both men who died were in a cyber cafe. Perhaps the cafe owners are using substandard monitors to save cash, or possibly the interaction of poor fluorescent lighting with CRTs over periods of extended use causes unfortunate results. Someone should investigate these shady Asian cyber cafes. It's a conspiracy!

Just FYI, that TV show was pokemon, they just dont mention it in the US because of fear that it will scare audiences. Of course, since it was pokemon there are other reasons he could have siezed...
