Anyone read the article on the S. Korean guy who quit his job so he could game more..

Sat his butt down in an internet cafe and played a battle simulation game (I'm going to guess BF2) for 50 hours.. when his friends/colleages came to get him, he finished his game, got up and dropped dead.

<A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/08/09/game.death.reut/index.html" target="_new">another one bites the dust</A>

I can't compete with that.. that's the problem with gamers these days. It's all or nothing with them.. either game all day or die.

It doesn't bother me. I just think that's another idiot removed from the gene pool.

It's seeming like MMORPGs/Online Games in Korea are becoming the equivalent of small pox-contaminated blankets, what with the people dying from them there.

Makes me feel all Rosy inside.



Apparently they broadcast online games over TV to your house so you can watch other people play. Gaming is highly stressed in S. Korea..

If that's what floats your boat

Funny you mention gorilla sex..

I was forwarded an email with a guy, bent off, with a statue of a gorilla in a pissed off mood.. the guy was bent over with a painful (but fake) look on his face while the gorilla was behind him, arms in the air, yelling.

I thought of you instantly.. little gorilla babies.

Well, considering you came out of that one with only a minor spelling deficiency, you're one hell of a lucky bast<i></i>ard.
