Game over - 86 nonstop hours later

Seoul, South Korea - A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, said police on Wednesday.

The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead on Tuesday at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260km south-west of Seoul, they said.

Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late on Friday and had no decent sleep and meals.

The man collapsed in front of the counter desk but soon regained his consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he was found dead, said the police officer.

An initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, said police.

South Korea is among the world's most Internet-savvy nations with more than half of its 47 million people having access to the Internet. South Korea has about 22 000 Internet cafes, also known as PC rooms.

Many PC rooms are open 24 hours, but no minors are allowed after 10pm. - Sapa-AP
Also das ist schon ziemlich extrem - also lasst euch nicht durch eure Dauerbrenner zu sehr in Beschlag nehmen (das ist jetzt ernst gemeint). Ich halte z.B. auch von 16:00 bis 05:45 für ziemlich bedenklich. Nun ja hoffentlich kommt es bei uns nicht auch zu einem solchen Fanatismus.
