S Korean dies after games session

Starcraft? He died playing Starcraft? I mean it's an okay game, but worth dying for? I think not.

GTA:SA? That's worth dying for.

Not really, it get's old fast. I mean, what do I have left to accomplish in GTA:SA?

1. Find all the Gang-tags in Los Santos. After 30 minutes, I get side-tracked into geeking someone cause they hit me with a car.
2. Win a gang-war with the apache.

Death by Starcraft. Pitiful.

You shut your filthy mouth. Starcraft, dated graphics aside, is still the best RTS availible. The only thing that comes close in recent years, in my opinion, is Dawn of War, and it is a very very different game.

So Starcraft has a body count. I think Final Fantasy has one, too. Someone needs to write up a body count for games.

Hm. Starcraft. Heart it.
One time I built a matter transporter, but things got screwed up (long story, lol) and I ended up turning into a kind of half-human, half-housefly monstrosity.

Sal, you must be off your rocker. Age of Empires and Age of Kings rocked more than Starcrap. :p

Though starcraft was a very good game.

It was a combination of factors. One of my psych books states the current medically documented record as being between 11 and 17 days, and that person survived.

This is a fairly regular occurence in Korea (keeling over while playing Starcraft, that is -- other games seem to have a lesser death rate ;) ). A lot of these cases actually have the guy die of other things, the lack of sleep just contributes to it. One, as I recall, died because he sat on his fat ass so long the blood clotted and when he went to move the blood clot moved and then lodged in his heart, causing a heart attack.
complete. dirty. whore.

But did anyone die while 'drekking?
Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become critics. They also misapply overly niggling inerpretations of Logical Fallacies in place of arguing anything at all.
