A computer game addict in western China collapsed and died at his screen after playing the popular online game Saga non-stop for 20 hours, a news report said today.
The 31-year-old began playing the game regularly at an internet cafe in Chengdu, Sichuan province, three months before his death, according to the South China Morning Post.
An employee at the cafe said he would play for more than 10 hours a day and was found dead on Saturday morning after a marathon 20-hour session, the newspaper said.

lol yeah, those two stories are now embedded in 'Internet Folklore' as they call it
(see

My personal favourite is the IT worker who had a heart attack at his desk at work and wasn't discovered for several days! It's widely regarded as being untrue, but nowadays, it wouldn't surprise me if something like that really did happen

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

How can you possibly play games that long? I get all cramped after like 2 hours of games, and i generally get bored as well. 12 hours a day, playing games, what a way to live your life!
