Suicide by Xbox

Only in Korea.

Published on August 10, 2005 By lifehappens In Current Events

A man in Korea died after quitting his job to "play more video games". He played for 50 hours, stopping only to go to the bathroom occasionally. When a friend convinced him to stop, he promised he would "after this last game". Minutes later he died.

I know this is dumb and I know that we could make tons of hillarious (yet non PC) jokes at his expense. I onlly have one question.....

If you had to go via a similarly brain numbing route....how would you do it? Would you Mario yourself to death or Chuzzle Link your way into an early grave?

Hahhaha...I thought most guys wanted to die having sex...I suppose XBOX is the next best thing.

I did a free trial of Chuzzle, and it was super fun. My big time wasters are Mahjongg and Zoo Tycoon on my laptop, Mahjongg, Collapse, Swap, and another game that's name escapes me at www.by-art.com, and playing any one of the Mario games on Gameboy SP. And of course, JU.

But if I'm going to die doing something, I'd like to die face first in a bowl of Jackie Chan's Mango Creme Brulee.

PS - Adrian has gotten me and the kids in on Halo 2, and RocketBall has to be the funnest thing ever. And I get to be pink with a pink and grey skull and crossbones flag. Shiny pink "Goddess Kill," that's me, hehe.

Sleep deprivation. 72 hours without it can lead to death. My sons do play long into the night. But thank you for the warning! They will not play more than that!

Well, I don't know but sometimes I think that I'll die when I only get 4 hours a night! Glad to know that I *should* be able to make it longer!

I SECOND that one! video games, IMO, are frustrating and I too want to just kick them and the game box into
the outer limits!

I'd choose to die while dancing, skating, or riding...if I still could

I heard about this on the radio the other day. Very sad.

If I could pick the way to go it would be while getting a great back scratch.

That's just plain sad. I'd like to say that I'd want to be doing something exciting when I die, but can you imagine death by Jackie Chan's Mango Creme Brulee (whatever that is), dancing, skating, etc? Those may be pleasurable things, but for them to cause death there'd have to be a scary, painful accident involved. So as for me, in all honesty, I want to live a full happy life, but die painlessly and mess-free in my sleep. Hmm...I wonder what this guy's death looked like/ felt like? S'pose it was painless? Or something like, "Oh gawd, I'm so tired I could just die."
