Posted September 17, 200718 yr Chinese man dies after three-day online binge A man in southern China collapsed and died after a three-day marathon online session at a cybercafe, state media reported today. The web user, estimated to be 30-years-old, suddenly collapsed in front of his computer terminal in Guangdong province, and emergency personnel were unable to revive him, the Beijing News reported. "According to preliminary findings, the length of time this man spent online might have triggered heart problems," the paper quoted a local hospital emergency medic in the city of Zhongshan as saying. The paper did not provide the man's name or the online activities he was engaged in. http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/net-gamer-dies-after-marathon-session/2007/09/17/1189881406885.html ( probably was playing the new Quake wars demo nonstop)
September 17, 200718 yr Didn't this happen before with WoW in china? I thought there government imposed playing restrictions to try and prevent this from happening again.
