Video Games Can Kill You....
No this isn't a somelia type topic.

Yes, thats right.
A dude playing Xbox died of a blood clot from sitting and playing it for 5 hours. Play longer than that? You're in risk.
Discuss.

Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Hehe, I think so, so if you wiggle when you play Rhythm Heaven, you'll be okay XD
The guy must have just NOT moved at all for 5 hours... what if he needed the toilet or to eat?!

Yes, a newspaper that once reported that a bus was spotted on the moon. A few days later (I can't remember how long) it reported that it was missing! They did the same with an aeroplane.

Re: Video Games Can Kill You....
This probably won't happen to me because of my ADHD. Its practicly impossible for me to sit still for like longer than 5 minutes.
Still

I thought this was going to be about something like Pokémon Episode 38 causing seizures. But this works too.

It's not just that, the newspaper sucks for it's political bias and it's overreaction of everything.
Plus, I can't think about how unhealthy that boy must have been if he died just from a blood clot. Sure, playing games for 5 hours isn't the healthiest activity but that's like saying a boy died from eating 100g of milk chocolate - not good for you but not death-worthy.
I might return for a little while.

The dude wasn't a boy, he was a college student of 20 years.
