I know people get addicted to the game but extreme stories like this still surprise me. And 50 hours straight? Wow. I am a gamer but never play more than a few hours at a time for the most part.

google Entropia, and the ridiculous amounts of REAL $$ money people have made off these games...ridic. 1.6 BILLION REAL US DOLLARS IN VIRTUAL (FAKE) TRANSACTIONS LAST YEAR ALONE.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

Wasn't there a story of a couple in America who also neglected their baby because they were preoccupied by Guitar Hero

?

I dunno how people can play EverQuest and WOW for hours and neglect everything else in their life.

You know what, this is America in 10 years. Kids are never going to play outside; look at the picture in that article. Some 9 year old boy is gaming already. Ridiculous.

This... and I just don't understand how you let yourself get that hungry and thirsty and just refuse to get up and do something about it... you can pause it for 2 damn minutes... but instead you just starve and eventually die.. some people in this world are insane

Thats why I gave video games up.

So where you the victim?
