40 hours straight playing a video game.
People think i'm addicted and I never play video games nearly that much.




Before anyone is dumb enough to look at how many hours of play time it says on my profile in the last two weeks ​for comparison:

336 hours in 14 days / 36.3 hours of playtime in the past two weeks...
It's an average of 9.26 hours a day for me; ​which is still a LONG time to be playing a video game. But that doesn't even come close to this guy.

   I just realized how contradictory that is; since it basically says I have no life   

Steam Rating: 1.5
Playing time: 4.7 hrs past 2 weeks
(plus about 10ish on console in that time period)

Dang man you might wanna cut back.

God damn, the guy was 18. What a waste of his life. Makes me sad thinking of the happiness he could have had later on in life: getting married, having a kid, growing old with his family. Damn.

Then again, I don't think someone that plays a game for 40 hours in one sitting has a chance at ever getting a girl, let alone getting married.

He probably would've made it to his late 30s and then he would kill himself.

Especially now that he's dead.

Well, time to take a walk.

According to the Mirror, authorities believe the teenager may have suffered a blood clot due to sitting for such a long period of time.

Well, I'm fucked.

How do you not go to the toilet or eat in 40 hours.

I can go about that much time without a bathroom break, I don't know about food but if he really wanted to keep playing I'm not entirely surprised it got to the point where he died

[usaokay]

Imagine you're in some afterlife place and someone asked you how'd you died. "I was playing a video game for 40 hours straight."

That's utterly ridiculous. Giving bosses insane health/longevity isn't challenging, just tedious. If you're really going to make a fight like that it had better have a thousand different ways to fight him and not just standing around his legs pressing 1234.

An Internet cafe that not only stays open 24/7 apparently, but allows you to book a room for at least 40 hours?

What?

Taiwan

[TurbisV2]

Hardcore mode

[TamTamJam]

How come they always die in internet cafes?

Maybe Internet cafes over there are cheaper than paying for your own stuff. They even get a room and everything, they probably work like a hotel.

Internet cafes must be a big business over there.

Plus they won't hassle you. As long as you pay them, they care little for how long you do your thang.

Quite sad to be honest.

There was one white guy that died of DVT.

[Grocel]

That shows a whole new level of no live gaming.

But duuuude, it's inferno mode.

Besides, I bet his family's really pissed his Hardcore playthrough ended early.

[Jitters]

Honestly, how?
How do you manager ignore all those signs of deprivation (hunger, sleep, etc.)?
That's really sad.

I've had some pretty long gaming sessions, but it's really hard to ignore your body when it's hungry and all that stuff. Also I'd really like to know how he managed to keep himself falling asleep and/or shitting himself.

[DesumThePanda]

It's pretty pathetic, but if you think about it, he at least died doing something he loved

[Barbarian887]

40 hours? what a fucking idiot

[darkedone02]

That kid forgot that real life is always hardcore mode.

[Chessnut]

He won't get to see Episode 3.

I can't stand to spend more than 3-4 hours on video games, even that much continuous play time burns me out for the day

you obviously aren't asian

[FappinGuide]

Just play RuneScape, you won't die from that; You might just start slightly cutting yourself.

[adam1172]

He probably decided to just play until he dies after realizing he doesn't have enough money to pay.

[SpaceGhost]

Honestly as sad as this is, the guy was an idiot, how could you not move for 40 hours? Your legs would go numb and i'm sure you would end up feeling dizzy from blood not circulating properly.

[ImKlewless]

Did he drop any good loot?

[Badunkadunk]

Sounds identical to the LoL story, internet cafe and asian. Only difference was a heart attack instead of a blood clot.

[TheTalon]

This is what happens when you sit still for 40 hours straight, then suddenly move. The clot that formed comes loose and gets lodged in your heart or brain and Bam, you dead

This makes me paranoid to sit for more than 10 minutes at a time.

[Hysteric]

Holy Christ, have some self control..

[X-JIDE]

Really there should be a rule to take a 30min break every 4 hours. There's time locks on computers just for that.

[I Am A Rock]

Probably had a stroke after he spent 40 hours grinding to find out there is no end game content.
