| Man dies after playing Counter-Strike quote from guru3d: Ooh, this is so sad. A man in Thailand recently died due to the fact he played Half-life: Counter-Strike all night. The 22 year old man was hospitalized after he collapsed in an internet cafe in Chiang Mai. Due to cardiac related problems he died. As it turned out he had played CS for more than 24 hours. The anger and physical degradation became fatal. One Thai paper is now actually reporting that the Internet cafe's in Thailand are serving water with amphetamine to keep the players awake. "serving water with amphetamine to keep the players awake" Can u guys believe it.  my condolence to the man. |

| Sad story... I know a guy who used to visit LAN-parties and other events all the time... Those guys just use pure caffeine or other stuff to keep going. Pretty insanse though. Maybe they should introduce dope-testing at those events hu?
