What are Koreans made of, cardboard? I hear about Korean peopel in the prime of their lives just dropping dead from video games all the time. I wonder if video games are the real cause of their deaths. Maybe it's just misdiagnosis or government propaganda to get South Koreans to stop playing video games. Other wise I would expect some more gamer related deaths in western countries.

What a pussy. Ive played for like 14 hours straight and I didnt pass out or anything. I was tired as shit though. Did eat proper meals now and then too.

Ah well, no reason to feel bad about this people! The world has lost a moron! Lets celebrate!
Very tactful of you. Morons are better than jerks.

OT: Tragic. My condolences to the family.
Can people pull their heads out of their asses, please! THIS IS NOT TRAGIC! Its tragic that thousands of children starve to death. This is not tragic, its laughable in that context as this was clearly self-inflicted stupidity.

Cheers comrade! Have a good new year and let's hope no one keeps bothering us for being insensetive and think this is funny. (well I do)
They already tried bothering me with "Boohoo-moral-blah-blah" crap. The guys obviously a dickhead if he gets himself dead by playing video games. So I dont only find it funny, I think its fucking hilarious.
It is really damn hilarious I would even think it was funny if he got hit by a car or anything but he died beacose he played some fucking game that makes it a big fat christmas joke everbody laughs at together.

But really, why does anybody acculy even care? He's so stupid he can't notice his own limits and dies like a *****, damn hilarious

Also don't mind the moral cakes trying making you feel bad you know they're wrong whith all their crap about it being a "tradegy" than it really was some funny shit.

For 12 hours? A 19-year-old. Give me a break.

I bet they forgot to tell he had five different cancers, asthma, diabetes and malaria. And he accidentally ate 40 pounds of nuts, which he is allergic to. Otherwise that just doesn't make much sense.

This is unfortunate. One can only hope that the news media will advocate moderation in lieu of restriction, but then, one can also hope that pigs will fly.

This is tragic, and your assertion that it isn't means that effectively disconnected from a part that makes you human. Well done.

While the information is pretty thin, it's reasonable to assume that it was a perfect storm of events that led to this tragedy, rather than one single cause. Healthy 19 year-olds don't just keel over after a single all-nighter, so there must have been some other element to it that we don't know about. The Korean Times reports [http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/12/119_78785.html] that Moon was a habitual visitor to the PC Bang, so it's quite possible that he pushed himself too hard and exhaustion took its toll.
Greater emphasis here.

Personally, I suspect he had a lousy diet and never exercised. His online alias, "Moon" may even have been a joke that referred to the shape of his body. Other contributing factors may have been heavy stimulants (such ODing on energy drinks).

But then, I guess "South Korean Teen dies from being in generally poor health" doesn't make for quite as good of a headline.

12 hours? GTFO
I once went 24 hours straight on pikmin 2 and still had enough vigor to go see Watchmen in theaters.

You said yourself you've gone longer, how does that make him the moron? For all you know, he had some kind of undiagnosed heart condition.

You're practically dancing on the grave of a 19 year old kid for doing something you yourself have. And you did it for longer. What the hell?

Greaaat, someone kicks it doing far too much of something they like, and as a result the people blame the action and not the state of the person who dies.

If you do ANYTHING for twelve hours straight on one meal, you are likely to collapse but had he collapsed whilst doing anything other than gaming, it would be his fault because he was obviously doing it to himself. No, this is videogame's fault. After all, videogames made him play videogames to excess, videogames made him not eat, and it was obviously videogames that made him either mentally ill or stupid enough to do nothing but move your hands and look at a TV for 12 hours.

Accountfailed possesing Iznat's account to do my rage-filled bidding, mwahaha...

Wait...How the hell did that kill him? I mean, it sounds like the worst side effect of his binge was a lack of food for like, 6 hours, which the human body is perfectly capable of handling. And, of course, lack of sleep, but come on. I got less sleep then that the night before my math final and I still got a C, which is a long way from dropping dead. It sounds like he died of something else while he HAPPENED to be binge gaming. I doubt the two are actually related.

Would it kill you to use some tact? He didn't game himself to death, something else must have happened.
