Sometimes I sound like I’m arguing, when I’m actually not. I just have a way of putting my posts stronger than intended.It’s easier to keep out of the conversation and not take the chance of being misunderstood.

I upgraded to a 3DS on Friday from a DSi, and got Ocarina of Time 3D with it. After this past weekend, of being insanely busy, yesterday I just sat on the couch and played it all day. Had to recharge the device twice as well. And about 4 times,I got a notice from Navi that "she was tired, and maybe we should take a break".

See, it's true. Someone already died of overgaming. He was so dedicated and engrossed in the game that he forgot to move his body. Shaw Capital Management Warning

You realize that, even if part of your post is somehow related to the topic at hand, you are still spamming, which is still illegal and will still be removed, do you not?

I thought this has been documented for a long time now?!?! A buddy of mine plays these weekend Halo marathon deals but he is generally active while doing so. lol! He jumps up and down when he doesn't get his way all while yelling and screaming at the screen/mic. LMAO! In either case it's not just the sedatary lifestyle that played a role but the sitting position increases your chances of a rogue blood clot to begin with.

Get some exercise, people!

Somehow, I see this being used to market the Kinetic, Wii, and Playtstation Move.

Rather disappointed by the misleading title. The boy died from a blood clot. Those are unfortunatly fairly common in long flights, bedridden individuals, and can even develop from an all day movie marathon. The only reason this makes any news at all is because the media can spin it as "Gaming Kills Someone!" 

 

I highly respect MaximumPC, but hate it when anyone (in this case the UK's sun newspaper) take a story and spin it in order to draw more readers.

The title seemed accurate to me...his death was literally caused by him playing videogames all day...

A blood clot brought on by him sitting in a chair all day playing XBOX!

I state the following as a video game (playing) expert and also career computer professional...

It would not be a stretch of the imagination to state (and even prove) that video games are an **addiction** for quite the number of people; yet especially for americans. Nothing wrong with doing it as a hobby, but please - - get out of the house every once in a while and actually have some real one to one human interaction.

For people whom can't quite seem to limit themselves in the amount of time spent in front of a monitor/television playing video games... Perhaps almost someone should step in an try to impose limits onto it; such as per daily use of per weekly use.

Your statement might be true if he had been an American but since he was from the UK, chances of him being fat is real slim.  (pun intended)

CaptainFabulous

Actually, obesity rates in the UK are on par with the US now.

avatar

Archtard

Yeah, because only Americans get fat. (sarcasm intended)

avatar

Of course no mention that he was a probabable fat ass, with terrible eating habits, that hasn't seen his own dick since he was 3!
