Apparently he played Starcraft at an Internet cafe for over two days non-stop and died from a heart attack because of the exhaustion to his heart. He even previously lost his job because he would always miss work because he was busy playing games.

 

And yet my parents still say I play too much video games...

For some reason when I edited my post it disappeared.

I was in China in 2000 for 5 weeks studying, and we got to mingle with some of the local high school students over there, and even got to stay in there house for a weekend. Starcraft was huge back then, and looks like things haven't changed a bit.

The Korean gaming industry seems to be stuck in the late nineties. Too bad Starcraft: Ghost is gonna suck.

wow, I have played a video game forever it seems. My system busted and I don't know if I'll buy one of the newer ones because I'm ok with out it.

my friends think i'm crazy because i CAN'T play videogames for an extended period of time.

 

I'll play 1 MVP/NCAA/Madden game and that'll be it for me usually.

Same here, I can get in one game and then I just want to be done for a few hours.

lol I know this is mean, but I gotta say it. I guess he was a "Die-Hard" gamer.
