lol, he may have won each battle, but he definately lost the war...

seriously tho, dont feel sorry for him ... playing 50 hours straight of video games is just stupid, even if it doesnt kill you.

That guy was a lightweight.

I've spent that much time awake partying over a weekend. At least I think I did ... I have this vague memory of a Grateful Dead concert ...

You are correct! You win a 50 hour pass to play Starcraft. When you die, someone else will win! The cycle will keep going until we kill everyone! :headbang:

Just from my experience Koreans and Blizzard(Makers of Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo) just don't mix well. It seems every year or so someone dies from playing 50 hrs straight. There must be something in the coding that kills you at 50 hrs straight. I've played 48 hrs straight and still standing :)

Yeah, had to have been SC. Koreans are glued to that game for some reason. They actually televise SC tournaments on a pretty regular basis. Now thats good tv. :confused:

Thats such bs. I didn't sleep more than 2 hours in 6 days once and I didn't die, I slept for 3 days after that but ya, I didn't die. (Crack kills)

lol I was thinking that same thing ... although I like the impact of BTL better in the books then what they did in the series.

Do you have any of the DVD's yet? The last two sets are supposed to be out before November I believe ... shame they dont have any plans for the season nine at the moment. Still trying to sell the movie and get it made.

yup, great show! how about red green. check that show out. i find it very funny. it's canadians being bored and doing some funny stuff. creative mayhem, is that show acurate to how canadians act?

*edit* lightweight. ever gone 100 hours without sleep or caffiene drinks, pills, injections? leads to some fun time. especially while at school.

"Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play online games on Aug. 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said."


HA! sucks to be Lee....umm......wait a sec......
