That's what I call overdoing it

Taking gaming a bit too far, it seems that a 24 year old man died after 86 hours of gaming.

Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness.
And no one called anyone? Police? A doctor? Hello???

While the guy may have gamed himself to death, the internet cafe workers should have done something. But frell, that's one more loser out of the gene pool.

Y'know, at some point, those Internet cafe tenders are going to have to start acting like bartenders. "That's enough for tonight, buddy. Let me get you a cab home."
