I call shenanigans on this article, if you can't stay awake for 20 hours with out food, and no physical activity harder than typing, you need to be off this planet to start with, hell I've worked more than 20 hours to get a job done and not collapses, damn Emo kids just got no balls these days!
hopefully after he comes out of the hospital, after gaining some rested exp, hes able to nearest overpopulated town and beg random strangers for equipment that give +STA.
Jeez, you guys are unbelievable, only one person has said anything that means something so far and thats the guy that said you all need lives if you spend that amount of time gaming.. Fair enough gaming is enjoyable but the posters in this thread (and others like it) seriously need to get some perspective. I myself have done extreme hours of gaming and these days i wonder "what was it all for?" have a bleeding heart people, extreme gaming is harmful to your health. You say "pansy" "pussy" and other such things, i say poor sod. It's a sad thing when something like this happens and all you guys can do is call names and such? Tells me just how this world is turning out.. Don't you guys have lives? many would just quote to this post something along the lines of "/fail" i say your the ones that fail, fail at life so you hide away in your fantasy worlds, trying to ignore real life which is family, kids, jobs, bills etc. ANYONE who says they have a family and a job and can still play those amounts of hours need to take a damned hard look at their relationship and i mean the one with your partner not with your fantasy world. flame away all you like but in the end, when something like this happens to you just remember how it'll turn out, no one will care, all you'll get is name called and abused for being a "pansy" cause you didn't make it long enough. Next time your near a mirror, take a long hard look at your life, take a long hard look at those close to you and THINK if you have the brain capacity to do so.
Nothing says "I have a life.. hahaha" like the guy flaming others for laughing at a guy who couldn't hang for 20 hours.. Oh.. and I've never gamed for 20 hours.. I think the most I've done was 12.. and it was getting the mage armor in AC.. Over thanksgiving break in 2001..
and.. you've logged more hours playing CoD4 this week than I have.. lifetime..

it is tragic cause nobody is teaching him how to make hot pockets and to pour mountain dew while inflight between cities. at least eat damn. or at least call for dad to bring you some food.
After 20 continuous hours in front of the computer screen playing WoW, a 15 year old Swede went into convulsions and collapsed from sleep deprivation and hunger. The boy is expected to make a full recovery and his father has vowed to limit the amount of time he can play from now on. Read
If he's going to recover, does that mean I can't have his stuff?
Yeah seriously. During SWG days I've pulled weeks of glorious sleep deprived madness as well as going to school. 20+ hours straight of gaming were weekly events.
I can't do that anymore. Not just because of annoying responsibilities like work and life, but physically I could probably only manage half of what I used to do. At that age I didn't even need caffeine to stay awake.
Holding your bladder until you had to question yourself if you would even make it to the bathroom. Drinking liquids only as a last resort or when the gameplay allowed you a short break. Eating whatever was within arms reach. When the servers were down I'd read up on the latest quests and information, hounding the startup screen so I can try and be first online around me on my mini-map. Ahh, the good ol days.

I honestly hope people don't blame the game for this, this is akin to blaming GTA4 for when kids get it as a birthday present. Parents are far to ignorant and allow crap like this to happen. =/
Wow, people here are upset that folks are saying 20 hours no sleep is bad? Are you kidding me? I had a high paying job once where it was somewhat expected on hard projects that you could go at least 48-72 hours without sleep. We frequently went 48 hours on no sleep and over a 100 hours on 2 hours of sleep a day.
Life is hard. If someone collapsed after 20 hours of no sleep (which isn't even an official all-nighter then either they were lying about how long they had actually been playing or there were some other medical complications. I'm not advocating that people *should* go that long, just that the human body is capable of much more than t hat.
In college I went 4 days without sleep once in order to finish term papers and in my professional career working 20 hour days for 10 days straight was not uncommon. Should it be that way? Probably not. Is it healthy? Probably not. Is it required to keep getting a paycheck? Definately. was.
Giving a 2nd read to the article it says he went in to a seizer, this may indicate that he is epileptic, if this is the case then it might be the first sign of this in the kid, because 20 hours of game play is just not going to jack you up that bad, if he is epileptic then he can kiss video games good by, hell no more FPS's if WoW triggers it then he's got it bad

i fail to see what your point is here... considering i spend no more than 3-4 hours a night in a game and more often than not it's not usually the same game for those 3-4 hours.. in fact you'll see that i've spent 474 hours total in CoD4 sinse i bought it on release, thats an average of 2-3 hours a night spent on it going by your 13 months released statement...
but all this is unimportant as i believe you have your wires crossed somewhere.... you said "You take shots at people on message boards for making jokes about only being able to game for 20 hours.." now me reading this makes me think that you think i'm having a go at people who CAN'T last 20 hours, i'm actually having a go at people with no life who spend upto and over that amount of time gaming without stopping.
As for my total amount of time gaming on my xfire profile, you'll notice in one of my other posts on this thread that i was one of those people who spent hours upon hours gaming before i "got a life" so i know the differences.

You've spend 20 days playing CoD4.. alone. That's over the past 13 months. Or.. 20 days out of the past 390 days.. spent.. playing just ONE game.

random_mage, you do realise that your defending the "20 hours!! pffft pussy" lot don't you.. i aint better than anyone else, no one is, your completely missing the point and twisting things like every other jack does that enjoys argueing for the sake of it. you say i think i have the right to judge others yeah? i say what gives others the right to judge those that don't play extreme hours each day.
and as for your attempt at perspective well, if you think 20 days out of 390 is a lot then your barking and trying to assault the wrong person m8, those that play extreme hours such as these here posting that 20 hours = pussy, you think they play 20 days or less within a 390 day time period? you'll find they notch up over 200 i'm guessing. you wanna try attack someone for playing one game over a set period of time, try those that are actually defending extreme gaming and saying that people are pussies for not being able to last 20 hours or more. There's some perspective for you.

That guy is a great example of why you should always get your sleep.

Now lets fight/flame over who has the best life!
no shit, eh?? What ever happened to 36 hour power-gaming sessions?
If only I could find a game WORTHY of that kind of thing anymore.
Ah, man. The long-lost joys of Diablo 2 sessions fueled by mini-thins, Zima, and Pizza Hut.
I agree, I used to push 60+ hrs as a youth. Pizza and caffeine is all you needed.
Do you realize you were risking your death?
When Final Fantasy VII first came out I stayed up for 3 days straight till I completed it, lots of Nestle's Quik and lots of cigarettes.

So basically the kids were neglected by the parents for 20 hours and one of them had a seizure due to starvation.
..but the video game is at fault?
Not the parents.
Not the kids.

Let's put away our superstitions. We're living in the 21st century now.
"The liberties and resulting economic prosperity that YOU take for granted were granted by those "dead guys"
what a pussy
Nothing says "I have a life.. hahaha" like the guy flaming others for laughing at a guy who couldn't hang for 20 hours.. Oh.. and I've never gamed for 20 hours.. I think the most I've done was 12.. and it was getting the mage armor in AC.. Over thanksgiving break in 2001..
and.. you've logged more hours playing CoD4 this week than I have.. lifetime..
That would be 1 hour then?? as thats my amount spent on CoD4 this week.. 13 hours for CoD5, 7 hours for Fallout 3.. total of 21 hours spent gaming this week m8.. thats an average of 3 hours a day... any other snide remarks?
Yep..
You've gamed more this week than I have. And you've logged more hours in CoD4 in the 13 months it's been out to the 5/6th of the time I've logged in AC to the 9 years it's been out.. That is HILARIOUS.. don't you have a LIFE??
You take shots at people on message boards for making jokes about only being able to game for 20 hours.. and don't see the irony in your own life?
i fail to see what your point is here... considering i spend no more than 3-4 hours a night in a game and more often than not it's not usually the same game for those 3-4 hours.. in fact you'll see that i've spent 474 hours total in CoD4 sinse i bought it on release, thats an average of 2-3 hours a night spent on it going by your 13 months released statement...
but all this is unimportant as i believe you have your wires crossed somewhere.... you said "You take shots at people on message boards for making jokes about only being able to game for 20 hours.." now me reading this makes me think that you think i'm having a go at people who CAN'T last 20 hours, i'm actually having a go at people with no life who spend upto and over that amount of time gaming without stopping.
As for my total amount of time gaming on my xfire profile, you'll notice in one of my other posts on this thread that i was one of those people who spent hours upon hours gaming before i "got a life" so i know the differences.
So.. you must have the right to judge others?? Because you've "changed your gaming habits" you have been elevated to "better"? Wow.. someone needs to knock you off your Holier than thou pedestal..
Oh.. and here's perspective for you..
You've spend 20 days playing CoD4.. alone. That's over the past 13 months. Or.. 20 days out of the past 390 days.. spent.. playing just ONE game.

Man, i need whatever it is that allows these morons to ignore their bodily functions and needs and just play until they drop.

random_mage, you do realise that your defending the "20 hours!! pffft pussy" lot don't you.. i aint better than anyone else, no one is, your completely missing the point and twisting things like every other jack does that enjoys argueing for the sake of it. you say i think i have the right to judge others yeah? i say what gives others the right to judge those that don't play extreme hours each day.
and as for your attempt at perspective well, if you think 20 days out of 390 is a lot then your barking and trying to assault the wrong person m8, those that play extreme hours such as these here posting that 20 hours = pussy, you think they play 20 days or less within a 390 day time period? you'll find they notch up over 200 i'm guessing. you wanna try attack someone for playing one game over a set period of time, try those that are actually defending extreme gaming and saying that people are pussies for not being able to last 20 hours or more. There's some perspective for you.
Was thinking the same thing. That kid must be seriously out of shape.
Pretty easy answer for this. Parents if your kids are that stupid, go unplug the damn computer.
