| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | >A Thai man has died from heart failure during an all-night computer game. The 22-year-old was found dead at his computer terminal in an internet cafe in Chiang Mai. Police say his friends told them he was addicted to the game and played it from Wednesday evening until he was found slumped over the computer's keyboard at noon on Thursday. > >They confirmed that Thanet Sommoi, a worker at a ceramics factory, died from heart failure. He had been playing Half Life: Counter Strike, which casts players in the role of terrorist or counter-terrorist. Up to 32 people can join in on the internet. Police say investigators believed Thanet developed tension and fatigue after playing the game for hours, and his heart eventually failed.  42 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I can just see it now...along with the rating of MA or whatever it is for violent games, they'll put a "may be hazardous to your health" warning on the side of the box. MDLax84 has decided to earn his degree in Goatweed University. If anyone sees him cheating on exams, let me know ASAP! Email me here or AIM me at Organic999 to apply for a seat - I have one left, and they usually fill fast. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | now they'll be putting those surgen general warnings from the sides of cigarette packages on the sides of video game cases... Warning, the Surgen General has concluded that prolonged game play could result in a miscarage, cancer and even death. Next we will be seeing those comercials where the smokers are in the body bags but they will be sitting infront of their computers instead. "Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?"  "On my signal...RAISE HELL!" Thanks for helping me with the sig shelle:) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | In another bizarre incident, a young man was the stabbing victim of a fellow player that became enraged when his in-game character was killed. The Straits Times reports that 21 year-old Tan Thiam Soon stabbed a fellow gamer in a gaming center in Tampines, Singapore after 16 year-old Ng Qiyong admitted to Tan that he was the one who killed his in-game character. After an altercation, Tan stabbed the young Qiyong who suffered a wound that required stitching. Tan Thiam Soon was subsequently sentenced to 6 years and 6 cane lashings.

Could be the beer..... could have paid too much TFC&FA. The first time I played Half~Life, the effin lightning slave would startle the shit out of me. I think it was in the office complex. My heart was absolutely pounding. 42 | ||||
