Media News: Man Dies from Playing Video Games
01:18:  Yes, you read correctly. A South Korean man has actually died from too
much of a good thing.  The man died of stress-related problems brought on from
a 17-hour marathon session of the game One Thousand Years (which is kind of
ironic, considering that he was playing this game almost as long). He went
sleep-deprived and malnourished within the last few months of his life.

This is sad, but at the same time, strangely funny...
