One line particularly bothers me int hat article. "He quit his job so he could play more games" That's rather scary.

Nikoli, what job? I want in. You should buy Laser Squad Nemesis, it's an awesome but simple game that can be played in windowed mode.

At the risk of getting blasted for stereotyping, Korean gamers in multiplayer settings have a (well deserved, IMO) reputation for being out of their freakin' minds - or at least way too serious about this stuff, so over-competitive it's unhealthy, and hostile... So this is hardly surprising.

50 hours? That's nothing. I used to do that on a regular basis. I play for 2-3 days straight then sleep for a day or two, then do it again. Once I even went 5 days, but I really can't remember anything from the last day and a half of that (a bit too much sleep depravation I guess). And I never had any problems.
Of course, then I got a real job and had to sleep regular hours. That didn't stop me from getting gaming in at work though. :rotfl: |

As I hear or read from someone else some time ago, he died as soon as he stopped playing. :)

NP. I just figured I would let y'all know what I had encountered so you would have a heads-up to run addware scanners.
I noticed that he died after he stopped too. Was he the victim of some sort of psychotropic effect, or did a killer virus find it's way into his headware/skillwires? |
