Title: Man Dies After Playing Diablo III for 40 Hours Post by: naypalm on July 18, 2012, 03:13:16 PM People need to go outdoors more. ::)
An 18 year-old Taiwanese man has been found dead after booking himself a room at a local internet cafe and playing Diablo III for 40 hours straight. Identified only by his surname, Chang, the teenager reportedly didn't eat for two days, and was found by an employee on Sunday morning slumped over a table. After being woken, "he stood, took a few steps and then collapsed". Rushed to hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving. While an autopsy is yet to be carried out, authorities suspect "that long hours in a sedentary position created cardiovascular problems", which would ultimately have led to his death. source: http://kotaku.com/5926876/man-dies-after-playing-diablo-iii-for-40-hours?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews Title: Re: Man Dies After Playing Diablo III for 40 Hours Post by: 01BTC10 on July 18, 2012, 03:16:50 PM He had no bot ;D

Haven't played this for over a week now. But these things always develop more extreme in Asia. Title: Re: Man Dies After Playing Diablo III for 40 Hours Post by: mc_lovin on July 18, 2012, 05:25:49 PM Clearly he was playing a hardcore character, these things happen.

Susan: Did you hear about Becky's brother? Liz: No! What happened? Susan: He changged playing BitFleet®. Liz: That is so sad! What was his ToP (time of playing)? Susan: 46:34:05. Not a record, but he's currently ranked in the ToP100.

Funny, I was going to guess an extreme lack of food, sleep deprivation, and possibly also skipping bathroom breaks.Title: Re: Man Dies After Playing Diablo III for 40 Hours Post by: check_status on July 19, 2012, 07:10:05 AM Fucking wussies. I've played poker for 48 hours straight, billiards for 48 hours straight. They just don't have the constitution.
