I know a lot of people are dedicated to video games, but I'm not one of them. Don't get me wrong, I have a playstation 2 and play it every once in a while, but I haven't died yet. A 28 year old male from South Korea died today because he apparently played video games in an internet cafe for 50 hours and experienced heart failure. Not to make light of the situation, but I'm willing to bet he lost.
50 freaking hours! I honestly don't think there is anything in this world that could occupy my time for 50 hours. If so, then I probably would have already died trying to do it. I guess the real lesson here is that things should be taken in moderation. Moderation is good. If you have too much, things start to lose their flavor and can become dangerous. If you have too little then you don't really get to enjoy the fullness of what you are currently experiencing. Call it a universal truth if you will.
The only thing I am left to wonder is whether or not this guy is viewed as a martyr for video game enthusiasts everywhere. I'm sure that he has to be known as the greatest video game player in the entire world. I'm not talking about a region, state, country, or hemisphere, I'm talking about the planet! I might even have included the galaxy, but I'm suspicious that the aliens have this dude beat. If he is not the greatest gamer, then he might just be the biggest stoner on the planet. After all, his co-workers told reporters that he "quit his job to spend more time playing games".
