I have one teen in college, and a second one in high school. In looking over colleges, I have been surprised to learn that U.S. colleges now have a substantial majority of women students. Boys seem to be losing interest in studies, and to hear Dr. Sax telling it, doing much of anything. This may be more of a problem in the U.S. than elsewhere, but it certainly seems to be something of major concern here!
QUOTE Someone died playing video games? And because he didn't eat or drink anything for 50 hrs? I find that a little hard to believe. I believe I was engrossed in a game once... Half-Life, when I was playing for the first time, I played it non-stop for almost 3 days. But I did eat, drink, go to the bathroom, sleep for atleast 7 hrs .... I mean like come on, you can't sit and play warcraft and forget to eat or take a pee? Ha Ha Ha... I remember doing that long time ago with Blizzard's Diablo (the first one). I remember I was playing for like 3 days and 2 nights. I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner, and had junk food too. Then the restroom too. But yeah. It was like the first game I bought and I had just bought a 5 speaker/Sub setup with Soundblaster Live!... cmon. It was cool. Then on the the fourth day my dad came and asked me to drive him to town and back (80 mile drive - oneway), Yikes! I really had to eat and drink to pull that off. I then came back home. I sleep for a 18 hours. *phew* Yeah that is interesting though. He died.  Wonder what level he was on. (j/k) I could tell some jokes but nevermind. Anyway did you people watch the south park episode where they were playing Warcraft online? LOL now that's funny.
Well, I used to play world of warcraft nonstop the the first year I got it. Nowadays I'm just a casual player.
But to be honest, the first few months I was all day playing that game, I even skipped college sometimes just to have more time to play WoW. It can get very addicting, but I remember before I started playing on the official US realms (july 1st, 2005) I read about people dying while playing.. so me and my friends were joking about that, jokes like "dude we're going to die this year then!" lol. I remember playing a lot but I do remember that I was hungry sometimes, so I stopped playing for a little bit, and without disconnecting I used to go downstairs and eat something, and in less than 10 minutes I was playing again. I think it was mostly because I'm too competitive, and we were 3 friends who were like "competing" to see who was able to reach 60 first, of course I won the competition but I didn't die. I still had time in the day to eat, goto the bathroom and some other stuff that doesn't take too much time lol. The bad thing was that after reaching 60 I realized how much time I wasted playing, and I failed every single one of my classes at college... that was 3 years ago and thank god I don't play like that anymore. I'm doing really good at college but I do miss playing wow nonstop a little. I should be thankful I didn't die I guess... hahaha
Replying to Kid Saiyan those parents are idiots, they can turn off the power. They can tell their son to stop. If you think your chils is gonig insane playing a game you stop them, even if they are adults its not that hard, if its your house and all they do is play games then they obviously cant get a place of their own with their own money, its your house pull the plug for good.

So many people play WoW now it's inevitable that a lot of these people playing have some pre-existing health problems and it's inevitable that some of these people are going to actually die while playing, from heart attacks, aneurysms, seizures or whatever.
I bet someone could sit down play for 30 minuets have a heart attack and die, but once word gets out or the press gets a hold of it, it is going to be spun that playing the game is what led to that person death.
I tink dat guy died cz he did nt hv food for 2 days...u ssaid da he played 2 days straight rite? No food,no water? For sure at guy died nt cz of gaming!
Playing PSP too long - (Hard on your eyes?)*
Man Dies From Playing World Of Warcraft I played the SONY PSP for about 1 hour and my eyes started to water and burn, extremely bad! I don't know why...I just know that I never looked away from the screen to stop playing, except for the intermissions between races (WIPEOUT PURE) on the "LOADING" screen...* What happened? (IT's really getting on my last nerve, because my eyes caused me to lose the races, and in one; I got destroyed from not being able to see correctly (fully) and my racecraft exploded in mid-air. Remember: (my eyes started burning and watering after 30 min. - 1 HR. Of gameplay...)!* Any ideas, why??? E-mail me... -question by Isaac
Just playing for an hour in my computer hurts my eyes. I cant imagine playing 50 hours straight. OMG my eyes balls must popped out when that happens. But maybe, the man did not eat thats why he died. Computer addiction can really kill you.
I remember reading this, back in 2005. I find it hard to believe. Not eating or drinking for 50 hours? What an idiotic person. I'd expect him to be in terrible pain before his death. I admit, I've used the computer before when I've had headaches, but not usually with anything other than light headaches. I'm surprised he got off with this at the cyber-café I believe it was he was playing the game at. They should've unplugged at night.
Replying to half He probably didn't die of lack of food since you won't die from starvation unless you don't eat for around a whole week. Water is around 2-3 days. But, people who die from playing video games is usually from exhaustion. A persons body just gets to excited and eventually the body just totally fails. Usually ending up with somebody dieing. This is also true during the soccer world cup. Some people were watching the games non stop that there were news of some dieing from exhaustion.
