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 |

Strange, I would have expected this kind of news sooner.
Haven't played this for over a week now. But these things always develop more extreme in Asia.

Wow, he must be good to only die after 40hrs. When I've played I get killed like every 5 mins. [/tasteless]

Funny, I was going to guess an extreme lack of food, sleep deprivation, and possibly also skipping bathroom breaks. |

Fucking wussies. I've played poker for 48 hours straight, billiards for 48 hours straight. They just don't have the constitution.

We had this with a truck driver lately, his hit count was much better:
1 bridge pier
2 trucks
13 cars
plus 5 hours road blocked

The paining (sic!) is done with the QPainter class inside the paintEvent() method.
