How does someone spend 3 straight days at an internet cafe and get himself into a condition where he dies from it? Baffling. And yes, I'm a gamer, I've been known to have occasional weekend marathons, but even I get up eat, drink, stretch, nap ... The thought of spending three 24 hour periods glued to one place is scary. The thought of even 24 minutes is scary.
