toadeater 0 Posted April 3, 2003 Now if only life was as much fun as computer games... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_766075.html?menu=news.technology Nine day computer game exhausts boy A 14-year-old Romanian boy has suffered a breakdown after reportedly playing a computer game for nine days and nights in a row. Michel Savin collapsed in an internet cafe and was taken to hospital where doctors said he was physically and mentally exhausted. His mother said he had become so addicted to playing Counter Strike that he had lost weight, missed classes and stopped washing. Magda Savin, from Iasi, says she intends to ask the authorities to ban youngsters from internet cafes after 10pm. Mrs Savin told National newspaper: "My son spends his nights and days in front of the computer playing this game. "He missed hundreds of classes, he lies, steals things from the house to sell them and get money for the internet. He didn't wash for days and lost about 18lbs."

I'd lock the doors and come back in a week to remove the bodies and hose down the place, then reopen the place to more CSers.

FSPilot 0 Posted April 5, 2003 No it's actually happened more than once. Internet cafes apparently don't tell people "don't you think you've played enough?", so people do marathon playing and end up killing themselves. I wonder if they are anysymptoms of playing CS too much? -Slurred speech -sudden outbursts -forgetting to take off headset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
