i don't think he died of " playing " itself i think its more like bad food (junkfood) and no water mixed with no sleep that could kill you

I would bring in food with me or order food lol.

This happens often in Korea, where the gaming industry is HUGE.
Most I've ever played is about 10 hours, I could have kept going, but I got bored with just WC3.

Wow... lol
since everyone is sharing, most I've played is um...15 hours? But that was back ago when I was stupid, I don't play many games anymore, if I do, it's about an hour only.

But yeah... where do they get these people from?

I've played computer games 24+ easy. xD

I Just PLay Whenever I Can

But wouldn't he notice himself dieing from lack of food and hunger and whatnot if he stayed there for 3 days?

I would say more than likely it wasn't due to the computer, maybe some other illness.
