natural selection, plus probably being overweight didnt help.
just watched a story on 60 minutes this last weekend about bootcamps that are being setup in china to cure internet addiction.

wow, china has conducted national surveys and concluded that 13% of its population is ADDICTED to the internet. Its a good thing i don't live in china otherwise they'd throw me into one of those boot camps and throw away the key. e-junkie baby!!!

Reading this "The 150-kilogram man from Jinzhou, in Liaoning" and reading that he played an online game seven days nearly in a row makes me just shake my head.

I like playing PC games as well but if you have nothing else you get your kicks with it is surely an addiction like any other and dangerous for your life especially if you are king size and do zero sports and stuff yourself with fast food while you degenerate in front of your screen.

Re: Report: Man dies after 'marathon' online session

have any of these 13% actually seen a pussy in real life?> i dont think so. jesus, i play games, fariily often, but never actually "plan to play" or sit for more than 2 hours. damn i could not imagine a marathon like that. 2 hours of EQ2 and im on the phone seeing who wants to go to a bar and catch a game or something.
