Addict

For all those who have ever said I was addicted to video games *cough*wifey*cough*, read this article to know what true addiction is.

Notable snippets:
  • In August, a 28-year-old man died after nearly 50 straight hours of playing online computer games.
  • In 2002, a man died in Kwangju after 86 hours of marathon gaming.
  • Hong Jin-ho, a 24-year-old professional gamer, earns more than 133 million won ($130,000) a year, living and training with his fellow game team members in an apartment in central Seoul.
And from my friend who sent me the article:
**************: i figure there's nothing wrong w/ the guy who died from playing too long :)
**************: everyone dies sometime
**************: dying while playing is probably a good way to go :-D

I couldn't agree more...
