That's hilarious. I wonder if Chinese Farmers will begin to be subjected to this type of torture.

A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said Tuesday.

Koreans don't play video games.
Computer games non-the-less.

This is to an FM talk station that I listen to.  One of the host designed this " Gamer trough" thing  and he is actually going to try to sell it.  This thing could have saved that guys life.

Are you joking or something?  Koreans play PC games like it is their job (almost like the Chinese).  They consistently win world championships in PC games, most notably StarCraft, which is shown on television as if it were a sport.  That guy was a dumbass for sure, but Koreans in general are gods among men in the video game world.

I thought by adding computer games none-the-less it would note my sarcasm.

Didn't Seoul host the first "World WideGaming Tournament".
I don't ermember its real name but it couldn't have been the Gaming Olympics because thats just stupid.

And your right Korens kick MAJOR ass at games.

It is funny that you mentioned StarCraft because i know a kid Korea(he is probably the coolest kid i have ever met.) and when he found out i was a videogame nut the first things he asked me where if i played Starcraft and/or World of Warcraft.

This guy made Jay Leno.
"A guy in Korea died after playing video games for 50 hours straight. Can you imagine that? 50 HOURS STRAIGHT! Well at least he didn't waste his life."
