This is purely for safety issues. Remember that story a year ago about the two taiwanese boys that died from playing MMORPG' s because they forgot to eat for 7 days straight while playing?? Well now North Americans and anywhere else where there is pizza hut have nothing to worry about. Let' s just hope our keyboards still work with all the cheese stuck in them.

Anyone that forgets to eat for 7 days deserves to die.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Wow, theres no reason to order pizza through a game, for a game. You need help if you play games that much. As for blood clots in legs, how can you play that many games, really, they need to get a life and do more things than just games, theres more to life than jsut games.

There was a kid in the UK who got deep vein thrombosis in his legs from playing video games for a long period of time. That’s the thing you get in your legs on airplanes… a blood clot in your legs. I was almost worried for a second until I saw how the fool was sat, kneeled back resting on his thigh effectively cutting off all blood flow from his lower leg below his knee, the reject.

The article about the two boys dieing was in a magazine called the Walrus. It' s some Canadian variety magazine that I doubt anyone else has heard of. Anyway, in it they go on to talk about how there is a ' real' economy to everquest and how it' s the 53rd most wealthy ' country' in the real world. It' s a very interesting read. Due to all the online shopping around of everquest items the currency in everquest has a ' real' value. It even goes on to say how much real money you can make by collecting fake money in the game!! They said that an average person playing 8 hours a day could make about 8 dollars an hour simply by running around killing stuff. Sounds like a sweet summer job for school kids to me! Of course side affects are of course that you die cause you forget to eat apparently!

That line made me laugh, I think it may have just made my day.


Nothing relevant to add to the thread without repeating things, so i won' t. I think it is funny really. Sad, yet funny.
