Only 50 hours? That's barely 2 days. Sissy.
I reckon I could game for more than 50 hours and manage not to die.

No, you need government protection. I propose we ban all videogames.

I could totally do that too. It's not like you expend much energy or
sweat while gaming.
For $50,000 I would try it.

I like it when I've been reading websites for ages and then when I look
at anything else it has lots of light and dark horizontal stripes all
over it hahahahaha. Or when I've been playing Minesweeper for hours and
I keep setting up imaginary mine fields in anything that is vaguely
square. Or I try to drop tetrinet blocks in them.

It reads like a story planted by the Korean government as a
sort of morality tale. "Don't quit your job. Don't play
too many video games. Remain a productive member of
society. Or else you'll DIE!"

Not necessarily. South Korea has a long track record with that line of
thinking too. Perhaps they're trying to reinvigorate the Confucian
spirit, translated to English; bust your ass for your country and don't
expect any (material) thing in return.

Certainly you aren't implying that only communist

No, but what will most likely happen is blood clots will form in your legs
from being motionless for long periods of time and eventually they move to
the brain, where they will kill you. I doubt this guy died from exhaustion
like the article implied.

Sure, it's happened before, but that doesn't mean it's an urban legend.

Do you have a source that says it's an urban legend, because I can't
find one. I use www.snopes.com usually.

No, but have you ever read some articles from North Korea on Kim Jong
Il? I'm sure his Nobel Peace Prize is on the way.

I start seeing stereotypical Grim Reaper figures, complete with black robes
and scythes in my peripheral vision when I'm sleep deprived. Mentioned that
to a former cow-orker of mine once. He suggested not telling too many
people about that.

Actually, in my case they just made me get and walk around a bit.

I *think* so. I remember seeing something about that on imdb or a site like
it at one point. I'd check the show's official site, but Showtime doesn't
seem to let people from outside the US view their page.

Blood clots in your legs go to your lungs, not your brain. It's a DVT (deep
vein thrombosis) that causes an embolus that causes a PE (pulmonary
embolus). Can be deadly. I would recommend, um, moving your legs every
once in a while if you plan on playing video games for 50 straight hours.

Don't touch alcohol?!? You're not a real man. Sheesh, until you've puked
