Die during playing online game

I hope no one will die just staying with DP Forums
My longest time staying with DP ever was 8 Hours, what about you???

 

I wonder what makes a person not to get water or food just to be in front of a computer...

 

hmm i used to do 30 min sleeps when i played world of warcraft... i also used to wee in a bottle (kinda hard to do because the air spits you wee back out) but i wasnt alone the rest of the guild would do the same as me. if you dont show dedication you wont get into the top guilds and if you ever get into a top guild and then some how get kicked its like some one pulling your online life / soul / reputation away from you and you feel rather suicidal its a horrible feeling. i can see why people wouldnt drink after around 3 days of play your eyes feel dry and your on caffeine pills you dont really feel the need to drink.

i sit on dp about 12 hours a day and online around 19 hours a day... if i was to game again i would push my sleep to 3 hours ( 6 x half a hour naps) and play online the following 21 hours

 

This is just sad. We should all take breaks or at least take quick naps in playing or surfing the web using our computers.

 

A friend of mine almost died one time, too.

But that's because he can't play and lost us the game

 

I honestly think you need medical help.

 

I come onto my pc in the morning and stay till 11:00pm every single night, thats 7 days a week and with 80 - 90% of that time working.

I do stop for bathing, eating and of course sleeping at the end of the day, maybe i should take more breaks.

Sometimes my eyes are so tired i can barely read the screen, sometimes i feel my body and head sway but ive never passed out yet, headache pills are part of my diet, pins and needles in my eyes are a regular thing.

After reading of a poor guy dying i think il take heed and have more breaks.

 

I know, how hard is it getting some water and food.

 

Thank you for this comment. I agree!!

 

I can't imagine being so engulfed in a computer game that you spend 3 days straight on it.

 

Whatever you do don't pick up WoW again!

 

How can anyone play for that long. Must have held his blatter to long.

 

Way to go

 

He doesn't have to if he doesn't drink any water.

 

Somebody should put this in their sig

 

I can totaly understand how this could happen... sometime i find myself sitting infront of this LCD cube and not feel time at all !!!

 

I used to be addicted to WoW untill i realised it was pointless .

 

i think people that spend so much time in front of the computer are really sad ....get a social life!

 

I just wish those people had respect for their lifes...Eat+drink+sleep are vital things.
Playing online games are not.

 

XBOX: Life's short because you play more
