Gaming can be hazardous to your health.
A South Korean gamer thought he had
the endurance of Superman. He died.
A South Korean man has died of exhaustion in an internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, according to police.
The 28-year-old, identified only by his last name, Lee, collapsed after having eaten minimally and not sleeping.
He had refused to leave his keyboard while playing the battle simulation game Starcraft.
Does anyone keep an eye on someone doing this in a public place?
Lee, who lived in the southern city of Taegu, had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.
