Teen dies after playing game


Sad.
 
This is how one of my daughter best friend dies at the age of 38 yo.
He was a poet and working on his book that was going to be publish , he was getting pains in legs from sitting too long and didn't realize the danger of it. How sad this happen to this teenager too. :(
 
These things can be just as addicting as drugs....

To many.

It plays on the same faculties that gambling targets, the difference is the addiction is to the game or games the play itself, and not as with a gamblier the reward or loss, and rush that goes with it.

Perhaps doctors should take note of this case and warn patients with broken bones to keep moving. I had a pulmonary Embolism three years ago after falling off a roof and breaking my back and four ribs, but mine happened only two days after the injury. When they found out they told me this is fairly common with bone fractures and I was put on blood thinners for the next year.

Maybe doctors do tell them but they don't pay attention? :dunno:
 
I have seen those cases like that.

MMO games are very addicted and you need learn how to stop playing and take break.

Funny, I found MMO games made me bored after play for long time and quit.

I heard of a case were a young boy sat with his legs tucked under his body while playing video games for hours and he started have trouble with his legs , do you recall a news reporter named David Bloom who dies b/c he was sitting in a cramped space for so long while covering a war.

Yes , it was very sad . :( I watched him all the time . Tom Brokaw flew out to cover the war with David and found he had just dies . :( I really missed David as a reporter. This is why you have to move around on a long flight and get up and walk around a little.
 
There was another case like this in uk parents just go in kids room fling game console out of window
