Special Reserve.co.uk Wrote:After having recently joyfully proclaimed that research done by nerdy scientist types revealed computer games to actually be good for you, it now appears that, tragically, every up has a downside, as we learn that a gamer has died after a marathon 50 hour gaming session.

With all the recent wild game-related stories coming from the area - a clinic opened for online gaming addiction, divorce custody battles for online games accounts, even murder over the theft of a virtual dagger - it's perhaps unsurprising that this unfortunate death occurred in Asia. The 28-year-old South Korean man, identified only by his family name Lee, played games almost non-stop (breaking only to go to the toilet and take brief naps) for 50 hours in an Internet cafe in Taegu. Lee seemingly had an obsession with gaming, as he is reported to have recently quit his job so that he could spend more time playing games. When he failed to return to his home, his mother asked former work colleagues to try and find him. They finally located him at the cafe, where Lee told them he would finish his game and go home. He died just a short while later.

The South Korean police believe that the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion. If University researchers in Nottingham can do studies that show gaming can be of benefit to health, it clearly still stands that too much of anything can be a bad thing. The online gaming industry in Korea is enormous, but this tragic death maybe suggests that some of the pile of money being made could be put towards instilling into gamers that just a little restraint could make a lot of difference. Sad.

I was versing the dragon on blue burst in hard mode heat sword when d/c occured. I thought someone joined my game. Now I cant even go on BB for some strange error. Last time I guess was an update where everyone was d/ced. What is going on?!

Just curious if anyone has heard of Wintersun. They only have one cd, but the band is amazing. Sort of an orchestrial Metal, I guess it could be classified as gothic. Check em out, The song Death and the Healing is unlike anything I've heard before.

well im posting it here cuz i can't find a better place but were can you view your warning levle?

I have heard rumors that there will be new rares added in to the ep4 drops charts eventually. Does anyone know anything about if thats true or not and when they will be added in?

I found this on Channel 4 Teletext p375 a while ago and so I decided to share it with you:

Based on the few facts we so far have, undoubtably the most exciting prospect of the Next Generation is Nintendo embracing the concept of online gaming.

It is doing it first with the DS and it marks perhaps the most important turnaround ever at the company.

Japanese online games haven't evolved one iota since Phantasy Star Online - hopefully that's about to change.

I was just reading about it in a magazine and although it's not usually my thing, it looks pretty cool.

It's set in the wild west, and can use guns, melee weapons and bow and arrows, and you can fight on horseback (like Zelda, w00t!) but your horse can die (which makes it more realistic), which is really bad if you're in the middle of nowhere because you'll have to walk to the next town.

Anyway, does anyone else think they might get it?
