Daxon Report post Posted August 12, 2005 Which is why in spite of incidents like these, games clearly put on their labels (most of the time): "Prolonged exposure to gameplay can result in seizures, eye failures, blahblahblah" Just helps them avoid lawsuits.

Daxon Report post Posted August 12, 2005 god, that is scary maen, seriously, if I tried my best, I couldn't stay on teh PC playing games for no more than... 4 hours or so...... 187447[/snapback] Well, it's different for countries like Korea with enormous gaming industries. Some of the strong players in their popular games advertise somehow for companies in which turn gets them a lot of money. Gaming is a career there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemonStar Report post Posted August 12, 2005 There was another story where one guy split up with his girlfriend. She wasn't pleased with this and so logged onto his MMORPG (forget which one) and dropped all of his items. When BF found out about it he stormed over to her place and stabbed her fataly. That is scary... People these days can take games way to seriously. They are even, thinking of introducing online rules to guard against online stealing, making them prosucutable under law. the online world is taking over.

cho-yun Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Go play it for 3 days. You'd be amazed what kind of damage things can do if you get too much of it. 187608[/snapback] Don't tell me you tried that... There was another story where one guy split up with his girlfriend. She wasn't pleased with this and so logged onto his MMORPG (forget which one) and dropped all of his items. When BF found out about it he stormed over to her place and stabbed her fataly. That is scary... People these days can take games way to seriously. Some people proberly find it hard to get items (like on RS full rune/like getting on here getting full iron) and get realy angry, and they're very addicted to the MMORPG I play something for about 1-10 hours a day, It always changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is scary... 187470[/snapback] I'do the same thing (well maybe not killing her, but knocking her unconscious and breaking her limbs and fingers so that she'll suffer when she wakes up... and maybe cutting off her ear... I like trophies). It's just like some story I've heared... Some crazzy woman thought that her husband spent too little time with her, and too much time with his PC. So she threw his PC away... through the window... 10th floor that is. When husband found out, he did the same thing with her. Anyway. The moral is: Never make your passwords too easy to guess. When your characters are protected, your girlfriend will live longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaneMuffin Report post Posted August 15, 2005 OMG!! You seriously should have made a better topic description. When I saw "man die while playing online game" I seriously thought that DonP had finally PK his last lil elf muffin and kicked teh bucket! But alas, Elf muffins are still not safe in EL! Woe is me!
