When will they learn?

A 38-year-old man living in South Korea collapsed and died after 10 days of playing an online game in Incheon with no proper rest - the man apparently barely even slept the past ten days as he played the game.

A police officer said, "He was carried to a nearby hospital but declared dead on arrival."

Wow, Korean gamers are extreme hardcore.

People need to learn to take a rest. Sleep is good, I suggest that people should get some on a fairly consistent basis.

"He was carried to a nearby hospital"

I found that amusing.

What is wrong with these peopple?
10days straight?
What would posses them to do that?

They must realize they are getting the 10 straight days but losing 1000s of more days by killing themselves to food/sleep deprevation.

Another n00b got pwned by his own game. ROFL!!!!!! Game'll win this fight, I've got some nice sleep deprivation myself going.

[Tynstar]

Didnt this happen to someone else not to long ago?

[Izret101]

Yea a diff Korean.
He was weaker though.
He didn't make it 10 days.

So you figure at the rate that guy was able to deal with his sleep deprivation compared to the last guy.

Man in another few months Koreans might be able to a year without sleep before death...
