Apparently he played for most of a 7-day break... doesn't say what his game of choice was, however, or how he died.

Edit: Bah... someone else got to this article first. Feel free to delete the thread.

I'll post a reply here since I cant at the other thread.

I can see videogames also being blamed on him being overweight.

Why delete this thread. You explained it all with one line. The other thread involved more reading.

My friend I believe the bad thing about computer games is that they are very addictive, but if they can be controlled, like everything else, they teach kids something. For example, I can seriuosly say that I learned the value of planning and having a clear vision through playing Warcraft and Starcraft. The key point is control, discipline and awareness. You have to teach your kids the value of enjoying anything in short spurts, and to have a healthy variety of interests.

That is exactly what is needed to be taught, moderation.

I love games... but I am also fond of food for survival, sleep, and human interaction. Why is it that everyone of these cases of gaming to death is in China. Always in China!

With the way the country is right now, who can blame them? they have so much they likely want to escape from.

If I were in china I probably wouldn't want to live either. I'd be like "Give me liberty or give me death!" then they'd kill me.

Population control IMO. No offense to anyone.
