ANYTHING in excess could kill. A 28-year-old man from Taegu. South Korea reportedly died of heart failure Tuesday after playing an online battle simulation game for 50 hours, according to a Reuters report.
The man, known only by his family name of Lee, started playing an online game in a cybercafe in August 3 and only left his seat to go to the toilet or to take naps on a makeshift bed.
It was not identified which online video game Lee was playing.
According to the Reuters report, Lee was still able to finish his game minutes before he died, apparently of exhaustion. It was reported that Lee recently resigned to spend more time playing games.
This was not the first time that a man died after a marathon video game session. In 2002, another jobless South Korean man died after playing 86 hours straight. The man collapsed inside a toilet in cybercafe and was said to have gone without food for nearly four days

I've never started a thread here before, so I hope I'm putting this in the right place. I
was watching the news earlier this morning and saw a week's recap of what's happening in my
community. The top story of my interest was that there is a large nuclear waste leak into one of
our rivers. Normally this is not news to us, seeing's how we have one of the nation's
largest waste cleanup area's in our back yard, and I work @ a nuke plant. The nuke plant is
actually rather clean, it's the older defunct plants that produced plutonium and the...
I was in the school network today and it cycles through the education news from BBC on the homepage.
One came up about a supply teachers diary, so I thought it sounded interest so I took a look.
Reading through it really freaked me out, it was like someone had written a story about a really
sick school. The Teacher says: QUOTE "I have a special educational needs group. I am surprised
that I have a group of eight without any classroom support. The room is in a rather isolated
location within the school with no other class within earshot or help-shot." So it mayb...
QUOTE Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At
the beginning of August it will rise in the east and 10p.m. (EASTERN) By the end of August when the
two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at
12:30pm ( EASTERN ). That's pretty convienient to see something that no human being has seen or
recorded in history. So, mark your calender at the beginning of August to see mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE, NO O...
The first thing I do when I turn on my pc is check the news all around, so I was just wondering

opinion....
The new largest passenger airbus took to the skies at about 9:30am GMT this morning from Toulouse
airport in southern France. This new airbus is expected to leave rivals boeing in the dust but
there is talk of smaller planes been the favourite such as Boeings' long-range 787 Dreamliner.
Picture from The BBC It has been stated that London Heathrow will house several A380's. So do
you think the public will enjoy this 555 seater passenger jet? and who do you think will buy it?.

Sad news for everyone on earth. THe Tsunami and earthquake wasted over 26,000 lifes in asia region
and africa. I feel like crying when i saw the broadcast of the flooded area. Some of them were
dragging on something helplessly before they were swept away by the water. A diving and swimming
heaven now becomes hell. There were also 56 were killed in my country. I would like to extend my
deepest condolences to every victim's family. Full story :

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag
Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported. The alleged gunman also died
at the scene, Wayne reported.
Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man
reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as
Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was
part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.
Witnesses said that several shots...
