After 86 hours? Not too bad, many can't hold out that long :/

[Samor]

kinda old news O_o ; I think I read it before too....

[Sephi]

86 hours Oo dont see how someone can die from gaming to much tho.. even if he didnt slept or eat well.. 86 hours without food should be posible right ?

wonder whats the cause of death Oo

[__Xzyx987X]

I think I remember reading that a while ago... I'm guessing the cause of death was dehydration since the human body lasts 3 days max without any liquid. Or his bladder might've exploded if he didn't bother to take a bathroom break for 86 hours. What was he playing all that time anyway?

[Kurbster]

the date of the article was October 2002 :p

As for what game.....was GTAIII released then? :p

[Sephi]

he did he made it in to the guines book of record ? Seeing there are all kind of weird records.. should be a record for longest non stop gaming to oO

[__Xzyx987X]

Hmm... I think you have to survive what you attempt to officially set a record (not sure though).

That is quite sad.
I would really like to know what game was he playing to end up like that.

EDIT: Blood was not flowing to the proper places, If you know what I mean :lol:

you can life up to a week i think without food, but not over 4 days without water. Water is key to life!

[Metalmurphy]

But it was probably some MMORPG. Koreans are crazy for them

[LordXeno]

Really old news. If I remember correctly he was playing Diablo 2.

[shadowzmasterz]

[Cid Highwind]

I hope you are aware that you revived an old thread, which is against the board rules. Have you read them?

[Metalmurphy]

Geez give him a break ;) . Its not that old :p

[Cid Highwind]

Well after a month and then only adding a post where you only state that you agree with what has already been said can be considered 'reviving' without a proper reason.

And it never hurts to ask for someone if he read the rules :p

[WindHydra]

Cid! Stop going around telling people that they are reviving old threads :p A month is not THAT long :lol:

[KanedA]

this case reminds me a party I was at some time ago... it was about 70 hours non stop :D... but we eate, drink, had fun and soo on ;)

[The Aviator]

I believe the longest i ever stayed up playing was 56 hours and that was on Evercrack aka Everquest. can you say zombie? I was so messed up after I got done..

[blueshogun96]

yes it is :lol:

[Haucusuchus]

Diablo 2 for 86 hours straight?!!! I can barely play for an hour before getting painfully bored. And to the point of ignoring food/water/excretement? The article said he was a jobless man; mabey he was trying to commit suicide? :mad:
