You would think the internet cafe would kick him out after a while.

they probably have massive internet cafes there, might be a bit hard to keep tabs on people.

Thats not really too bad a way to die. He probably just collapsed and that was it. He could have been burried up to his neck in sand and his head eaten by ants, while he was still alive. Now that would have sucked.

I believe this isn't the first time this has happened (it was South Korea last time as well and he lasted longer, I think).

Edit: And there you go: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/10/10/1034061260831.html?oneclick=true. Now that I re-read it, it's uncannily familiar.

what a silly way to die, it reminds me of a silly reason to commit suicide, one guy hung himself because his wife didn't want to go back to wales.

How come it's always someone from Korea? Clinton can shove it, we've only had one person die from games here, and it wasn't nearly as long as these guys.
