Extreme Girl Gaming

A 14 year old girl fell into a seizure after ONLY playing 5 hours. I don't know about you, but every time i play I usually play for about 4-6 hours. I've been doing that for almost 15 years and I've yet to get a seizure. Some people may just be more susceptible to this, i guess.

By the way the game she was playing was True Crimes (the one with Snoop Dogg in it *barf*).

This is the first time I heard a girl actually get ill by playing games too much. This is mostly a guy thing.

Here's the article:

Have you heard of the girl dying in china after having played 3 days straight on her comp. She died of exhaustion and lack of food.

The game was one of those online multiplayer RPGs, I forget which one, but its true. China are now thinking of puting a law on how many hours a person can play these games online for.

I guess our American girls aren't as tough as Chinese girls. Gotta love RPG playing Asian girls Laughing

*by the way that was a sad story bowser, didn't want to take that news lightly, but damn she lasted a good 3 days without eating, just wow 0.0)

Heh, no stamina at all this girl. But some people are just strange when gaming. One of my friends always sticks his tongue out while playing First-person shooters. He doesn't even know. And another one falls asleep at midnight each and every time he plays together with us WHILE PLAYING. His guy in Battlefield 2 keeps running into walls -> he's asleep.

Five hours shouldn't really be a problem. 24 hours or more I could understand that some people feel unhealthy.

strange, i think 5 hours is still normal rate to play a game. Even for a girl,
since we know they can go for shopping for a day. Shooping is walking and
talking + thinking. While when we play a game, mostly we just push the buttons and sometimes we think Very Happy

maybe that girl have some sickness or stress ? by the way, i cant read the article from the link Question

What could have happened to the three hour girl is that she could be one of those people that has seizures when they get hit by a strobe light. According to urban legend over here, there use to be some old japanese cartoons that would enduce this effect as well. But then again she could have been a total wuss.

As for the other one that sat there for 3 days strait, WTF! How can you go without drinking any water that long and still consentrait on a video game.

seizure usually have to do more with gentics than "endurance". Remember a couple of years back when some kids feel into a seizure after watching anime? yep...

anyway, I'm not surprised that some countries would have laws on it. I'm from Thailand--we're the first country in the world to actually put time limit on gaming (online game) and online curfew as well. That was a couple of years back... I don't really think it works and people just find ways around it pretty easily, but it is true that playing too much just isn't a good thing.. you either need to balance your time, or you need a good friend to slap you hard when you need to stop.

Gaming for too long is not good for your health nor is it good for your education neither and i think ppl die when gaming too much due to bloodclots, when your sitting down too long blood doesn't circulate around your body properly and blood accumlates around your legs. I'm not sure if this theory is right or not i'll just expressing my views on this matter.
