Death by Gaming

This is ridiculous. This man actually refused food and drink in order to play Starcraft for 50 hours in an internet cafe in South Korea, before dying of exhuastion. I have several problems with this.

1) Starcraft!?!? Are you kidding me? Of all the games to die playing, this really make this whole scenario even more tragic than it already is.

2) He did this at an Internet Cafe. Don't you think that if you played games so much that you got fired from your job and you are willing to play for 50 hours straight, that you'd buy your own cheap computer to play games on? I'm guessing he could afford it, since these things are pretty cheap and ubiqutous in South Korea.

3) Just the whole damn thing seems really really odd. I mean really. 50 hours. That's more than two days straight, with no rest. I can't even stare at a computer screen for more than 1-2 hours straight without giving my eyes a rest.
