"Man dies from playing video game for () hours.” This is bringing people to believe that video games can actually kill you if you play them too much. But, in reality, it’s not the video game’s fault at all; it is the choice to the person who decides to put themselves in harmful conditions."

If only the news outlets/media could understand this part. Can't live off junk food and energy drink/sodas alone. Thats why its best to get up, move around and consume something healthy.

He died of cardiac arrest. It wasn't because he was gaming. People fall over dead from cardiac arrest all the time. And it doesn't matter if he was sitting still or running a marathon. It just happens.

Shouldn't the correct title be "while playing" because video games are never fatal....

Absolutely ludacris.

I hate people. I really do...they blow things waay out of proportion just to get attention (I'm talking about the press/media/journalists etc.)

I prefer to die having sex.....

... wtf, that doesn't even make any sense. You've died before? =/

It's probably a typo & you actually meant to say "I'd prefer to die having sex....."

Me too. :)

sorry my mistake, even you got 2 disagree from that, well it seems that they want to die playing a game.
