But What Was He Playing
There's a story in the papers and on radio morning shows about a guy in South Korea who played a video game for some 50 hours straight in an Internet cafe and then dropped dead, right on the spot. Here's the story in case you missed it.
Man Dies After 50 Straight Hours of Video Games
This raises some questions:
1) Why would an Internet cafe let the guy set up a "makeshift bed" for this loser to sleep on in their establishment?
2) Did someone place a quarter on the machine to "hold" the next spot and did they step over him when he keeled over to begin their turn?
3) WHAT GAME WAS HE PLAYING????
Of course South Korea has literally hundreds of online video games so it was probably something specific to that country. Naturally, if it was Everquest or World of Warcraft, Hillary Clinton would be demanding an explanation and money to form an investigatory committee.
I suspect it was probably Q*bert. 50 hours of that would damn near kill anyone.

I can only assume that he was a level 60 waiting for UBRS, and he died of boredom standing around Ironforge.

Okay, now the next joke has to be funnier than that. I didn't set the bar very high, people...let's see 'em. Think of it as a G-rated warm-up for The Aristocrats.

Damn you for blogging this before I did. I want to know what level the guy was before he died. Something to aspire to.

I figure he went to turn in a quest and realized he left an item in the bank in Ironforge.
