Hatch Posted 22 February, 2011 Posted 22 February, 2011 WHat I don't understand is why he was in an internet cafe, surely someone who plays so much would have internet access at home.

Yes, you are. But you're not alone
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Not the first time. Nor the last. Gaming is an addictive drug; you have to feel pity for those so afflicted.

Johnny Bognor Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 (edited) Gaming is an addictive drug; you have to feel pity for those so afflicted. I have to concur. When I was trying to take 1st place in the SWF arcade it pre-occupied me for 3 months, putting a strain on my work and my marriage. Despite this, I still couldn't knock hypochondriac off of top spot......the **** I'm off the arcade now and have only played once in the last year to take back a high score from Buctootim.

Johnny Bognor Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Win The bloody helicopter games nearly bloody killed me (especially chopper challenge)!
gaz Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Darwin awards candidate. Angry Birds is addictive though....
hypochondriac Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 The bloody helicopter games nearly bloody killed me (especially chopper challenge)! Ha don't remind me! That game works best if you sort of zone out and do it without thinking. Bloody hard when all the scenery starts going nuts though. The flying saucer game seriously p*ssed me off because they have 2 submit score buttons and if you press the wrong one your score isn't logged. Spent hours and smashed the high score then pressed the wrong one! Swore very loudly
Dr Who? Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 There are many people on here that I truely think are on here 24 hours a day every day, but that does not mean they do not eat and drink, but I really do think how their work must suffer?
Durleyfos Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Darwin awards candidate. Angry Birds is addictive though.... Another candidate is that bird who died after getting injections in her arse to make it bigger. She could have just worn a wedding ring, it worked for my missus.

Deppo Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 dune can play World of Warcraft for much longer than that fella.

Despite being the third (at this point) largest economic power in the world, China is still very much a developing country. Huge sections of the population live in poverty, and the vast majority of citizens don't have simple appliances that we take for granted; microwaves, vacuum cleaners, computers for example. Very rare. These internet cafes are extremely popular and can be found everywhere.

Theres loads of porn available too, but how many chinese spend three days w*nking themselves to death?
Saint_Jonny Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Not the first time. Nor the last. Gaming is an addictive drug; you have to feel pity for those so afflicted. Point me in the direction of research that proves that gaming is "addictive" and I will agree with you.

aintforever Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 I hope it was that camping c*nt I was trying to kill on Call of Duty last night.

Deppo Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Do you remember Tiggs Theo? He w*nked himself to death.
scotty Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 Do you remember Tiggs Theo? He w*nked himself to death. did it take three days?
scotty Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 I neeed a link showing that anyone has ever w@nked themselves to death http://www.masturbationhorror.com/death.shtml and somewhat closer to home; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Milligan That do you, Jonny?

scotty Posted 23 February, 2011 Posted 23 February, 2011 No. I dont count all that strangling stuff. Im talking a good old fashioned tug session. I'm sure a few teenagers have shuffled off (fnarr) this mortal coil in that fashion and fwiw, I possess a letter from the late stephen milligan, received shortly before he died w*nking with an orange in his mouth. He didnt mention the impending autoerotic asphyxiation session, sadly, if only I'd known I could of got a bet down.

Saint_Jonny Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 http://www.olganon.org/ I was talking about a physical or mental addiction, similar to the human relationship with alcohol or drug abuse. To be honest I was being pedantic, I recently wrote a four thousand word essay on the subject and I can tell you that there is very little in the way of actual research that ties gaming to addiction in the same way as aforementioned vices. I'm not saying that gaming ISN'T addictive, just that there is little empirical evidence that proves that it is.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Young people used to kill themselves by doing 150mph on rickety motor bikes on Stoney Cross aerodrome, now all the world is shocked because one dies playing some puerile fairies and elves role game for a bit too long.When I was at Uni it's a miracle no one snuffed it in the 3 day+ night Monopoly,hooch and drug sessions.Young people will always die in strange ways,James Dean's legacy.

All I can see on this thread is 34 posts of plsstaking and gag-cracking, nobody seems particularly astounded.
Jonnyboy Posted 24 February, 2011 Posted 24 February, 2011 Apparently loads of old chaps die straining on the toilet, so why not trying to crack one off over Kaplinsky?
