S.Korean Man dies after 50 hours of video gaming

[DrMcleod]

What about the korean guy who murdered his mate because he was offered $400 dolloars for a sword in world of warcraft. He gave it to him in game and the guy never paid, so he went round and killed him with an axe or something. Thats hardcore!!!

That happened in China, not Korea.

This is the second story I've heard of death over games...

One was from EverQuest, some guy jacked all his gear or something and deleted his character so he killed himself.

Another was, guy stayed up for like 48 hours playing Ragnarok in Japan and he lost out too =/

Now this, man, these asians are going hardcore...

Slightly exagerated on the eq story, guy was obese and died of a heartattack while playing a mammoth session of EQ, he didn't commit suicide :/
