When I get married, I'm gonna make sure my supermodel wife keeps me from getting too addicted.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Ironic that the game is called Prius, since they just couldn't stop playing it.

Unfortunately these stories are used against videogames as opposed to terrible parenting.

Damn, I've been playing sc2 for about 10 hours straight today. Was sick at the begging but now I feel better

Anyone know if the parents had some psychological problems? Who just ignores their child to play video games all day.

That is sooo crazy... How can someone (the mother in this case) give birth to a child, and then basically forget about it to play mass video games, her favorite game being about raising a child.


How stupid and heartless... i'm not out to demonize her but its just -insanity-.

The longest non-stop gaming I've done is probably 12 hours (7pm -> 7am) when I hosted a lan party at my place, we bet each other who had greatest gaming endurance and of course I won, haha. Basically we play randomly until everyone but 2 people fall asleep, then a series of 1v1 matches in various games (SC included) to decide the winner!

The point is though, after that one, I felt DEAD. Like, after the last match, I fell asleep on the floor and woke up like 5-6pm, thankfully my friends cleaned up the mess (beer, pizza, you know, the usual stuff) and didn't rob my place, lol.

Koreans can game for long time, no doubt.

Hey guys guys, this already happened in the horror discussion thread:

+ Show Spoiler +
TRAINING DOLLS

In rural southern Illinois a toy company began selling "realistic" baby dolls to expectant mothers. But apparently after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually the "rocking motion" advertised to calm it down wouldn't work, and you couldn't get it to stop without shaking it. Eventually when it started crying the parent would have to beat it, and the beatings and thrashings would have to get harder and harder to get it to be quiet. The only thing that seemed to shut the baby doll up permanently was the bash its head against the wall to destroy whatever mechanism triggered the crying. On more than one occasion though, neighbors called the authorities to report child abuse, and when the police arrived they found the the bloody remains of infants smeared across the walls and the floor. In most cases the mother couldn't understand why the police were there, she just "got rid of the stupid doll" as she rocked a baby-shaped bundle in her arms.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Online games are massively popular in South Korea.

A 28-year-old man dropped dead recently after playing his favorite game Starcraft for 50 hours non-stop without eating or drinking.


shocking, but the journalist sucks. why would a multi-paragraph story about the death of the baby with a random entrance into a new story. its like a badly written sat question, on "pick which sentence does not fit in the story."
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

It would be better if these people developed an obsession over discovering/mastering something useful, like a scientific pursuit.

I cant find myself playing for more than at max maybe 12 hours without getting a migraine or have pain developing in my wrists and hand.

I sort of had this experience when I fainted after playing Dynasty Warriors 3 on the PS2 for the whole day, my thumbs were numb and I didnt eat. I remember those days how fun PS2 was, too bad it died pretty fast(Something with the fuse) after we sorta left it on 24/7.

The only game that I've played for 18 hours, was D2. I did actually eat/drink/use the restroom though.

A lot of people didn't read this article. Anyways I'm having a nice discussion/laugh with my friends about this article.

You either can't read the English letters PC, or you didn't go to the city, or you are legally blind. I remember standing on a street corner in Jongro and counting 7 PC Bangs.
Edit: And that's not even that high probably compared to other areas.

Either shes rather unattractive or he is a player. OT though, this is horrible, you just got to know that there has to be a limit!
