How You Can Die While Gaming

Many of us play games from time to time but not for that long. There is an exception for a few other people, they like to play almost the entire day, they are considered to be hardcore gamer. There is a downside to playing games for a long time, that downside is death.

as a kid an older cousin almost choked me out wit an nes controller because i kept pulling it out of the console.

I take it you learned your lesson?

thebudgetgamer4674d ago

i did not, in fact it only toughened me up.

JellyJelly4674d ago

@thebudgetgamer - So you're still a cord puller? Fortunately newer consoles pause the game when the controller isn't connected, but it still sounds annoying as hell :)

thebudgetgamer4674d ago

i eventually matured. it was a lot of fun though.

To get a blood clot, you'd need to be standing still for a very long time. Unless you stay in the same position, you don't risk anything no matter how long you play. Most people change position while gaming, go to the bathroom or take a snack.

Even playing for days straight, the only way it could kill you is if your body is depraved of sleep for playing so long.

The 20 years old guy and the 13 years old girl who died recently probably had medical problems. Especially the guy, he was overweight, if not obese, that doesn't help at all.

I play games a lot, but I cant sit on my ass all day it gets uncomfortable from sitting long periods at a time.

Steam News - Steam Client Update - May 7th

As the latest client update rolls out for Steam Remote, it appears Steam Deck users may not be able to reap the benefits just yet. The client update in question has added support for full HDR streaming from a Windows PC using Nvidia or AMD hardware acceleration to another Windows PC or Mac with an HDR display. However, Steam Deck users are struggling to send HDR from their PC to their device.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review - A Visual Feast Lacking Depth | Chit Hot

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has now launched, bringing with it some of the most stunning visuals you've ever seen in a game.

The first game lacked depth as well, but the graphics were phenomenal

...not to mention the sound / atmosphere. Especially when using headphones.

Going to be real. I’m playing on my PC and every setting is on high at 60fps locked. The game is beautiful, sounds good in headphones (I’m sorry but Returnal still holds the aural crown), and has an impressive photo mode. Can literally hit that at any time. You won’t have full control at certain times, but it’s impressive. After more than an hour I’ve already started to get bored. The fights are brain dead so far and it is a CRAP ton of walking and listening. I’m over the beginning “theme” of you did this to us (people that have played will get this as not to spoil anything). I literally non stop run every chance I get. Obviously isn’t the whole game but gahdamn. Hopefully it picks up soon. Definitely can’t see this being a 10/10 by any stretch of the imagination because the beginning has gotten so boring. Here’s to a better experience tomorrow or Friday when I pick it back up.

Elda5h ago

Agreed. I've played about 34 mins & it was boring. I'm going to try again tonight for another half hour or so & see if it gets better.

Sonic18811h ago(Edited 59m ago)

The game is only 6-7 hours. It's more of a narrative movie game

RhinoGamer882h ago

I felt this way with Alan Wake 2. I lasted four hours and then quit...walking sim with weak combat.
