Fat gamer keels over after marathon session
Brown bread
By INQUIRER newsdesk: Wednesday 28 February 2007, 16:32
A ROTUND CHINESE GAMER has died after a marathon gaming session over the Chinese New Year holidays, according to Reuters.
The hefty bloke from Jinzhou in Liaoning province weighed in at a whopping 330lb and suddenly collapsed on the very last day of the holiday, having spent pretty much all of the seven-day holiday playing online games, says the China Daily.
Local teacher Xu Yan wasn't too surprised at the bloke's obsessive gaming patterns, telling China Daily that there are literally only two options during the "dull" holiday period: "TV or computer."
"What else can I do in the holiday as all markets, KTV and cafeterias are shut down?" he continued. It is no surprise, then, that 2.6 million of China's youth are classed as official interweb addicts.
This isn't the first MMORPG-marathon related death. Maybe Jack Thompson was right after all.Patron: I'd like my free lunch please.
Cafe Manager: Free lunch? Did you read the fine print stating it was an April Fool's joke.
Patron: I read the same way I listen, I ignore the parts I don't agree with. I'm suing you for false advertising.
Cafe Owner: Is our lawyer still working pro bono?

They do but it's extremely crowded and very hot there...you wouldn't have fun outdoors so you'd stay indoors playing fantasy games.
