How many hours of sitting on the computer is too many hours? I thought three hours for me was a lot, but I guess not. A man in China recently died after gaming on the internet for three days straight. Are you nuts?! He fainted and the paramedics came to the internet cafe he was at and found him dead at the scene. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this happening before today. People need to get a life. Yeah, I had friends who would sit on the internet and play their stupid video games or whatever for the whole day, but this case is a little extreme. Speaking of these weirdo people, there's a lot of creeps on Myspace. For instance, a 37 year old bald headed bearded man who likes "having a good time" tries to friend me on Myspace. Do you really think I would want to be friends with you or sit and chat with you on AIM?! Things like this make me want to delete my account. I mean, Myspace was so two years ago (haha). I bet whoever I end up interviewing for my next paper is totally going to think I'm a weirdo because I admire them and they barely know me. Also, I need to meet someone to interview!
That picture is what happens to you after playing Warcraft and DOTA all day.

Hey, sorry if I'm all 'pro-game' but war craft and DOTA definetely don't do that to you.
In fact, to make this all factual, a recent study showed that doctors who play shooting games like quake and counter strike have better hand-eye coordination and hence are better at what they do(specifically surgeons). Yeah, anything in excess in bad but in the right dose gaming is beneficial!
All hail counterstrike and quake!
Its definitely true that some people can get way to invested into their games. I'm sure it can be an enjoyable way to spend time for some people, but they also need to remember that real life is out there and they have responsibilities in it. That man who died could have had a family, friends, or an important job that he neglected. Myspace isn't very safe. I don't understand why people display everything about themselves when we know there are creepy people out there looking at the page. We have to protect ourselves a little more.
Okay I kind off see the point.
Because just yesterday there was a news paper article on how a guy is HALO crazy and he spent 3000$ on buying HALO-3 stuff like the outfit, game etc.
Just imagine what all he could have bought with the 3000$! A paid cruise at the Caribbeans!
Oh well I agree with the 'getting over-involved' with the games part then.
