Man Dies In Video Game Marathon

Mr. Godfuck · 10-11-2002, 01:36 PM

According to an Associated Press report, South Korean police said today that a man has died after an 86-hour gaming marathon. The incident occurred at an Internet café in a town 160 miles southwest of Seoul, where the man, who was unemployed, had been "virtually glued" to a computer since Friday, skipping sleep and meals. The man collapsed near the café's counter and was later found dead in the restroom. Many Internet cafés in South Korea are open 24 hours a day.

they're great places to hook-up at. You're given the e-mail address of every other booth, so you can chat and then ask people to come by you. Plus, there are television shows with broadcasters commenting on internet games. Most wired place on earth. A.K.A.: heaven

eh, more like the first three. How'd they off him for good? I missed that one

Ghetto_Squirrel · 10-12-2002, 03:45 PM

Poor fucker. He probably thought he had 11 lives to go.

I wonder if they'll engrave his point count on his gravestone.

yeah, true. in season 5 killing off kenny became a joke in of itself and they put absoutely no thought into it. he'd just randomly die and nobody would care.

So they were bored with him as a character and eventually Kenny got a terminal disease and died in episode Episode 513: "Kenny Dies".

if you have Kazza try to download it, its a pretty good episode because they do EVERY single "After School Special" cliche and just drag it out. Kenny's last words were "Where's Stan?"

The replaced him with Butters for the 4th friend durring a bit of season 6 and then replaced Butters with Tweak as the "new Kenny" (but he doesn't die every episode).

Thanks, Ugly..I'm downloading it now

hah, my fav half-assed kenny death was the one with the gnomes that stole tweeks underwear...they were like 'Your friend's dead! We killed your friend!' and stan and kyle were like 'um yeah, whatever. anyways..'

heehee, watch it on lsd,...it's even funnier!

Junebug · 10-12-2002, 07:45 PM

woah. Did he have any other...like...diseases or something? You'd think the body would have forced him to sleep unless he had some drugs in his system or something. That's nuts. I'd hate to be his relative and have to tell people how he died: "oh well, you see, he was playing this computer game. and he died. No, not in the game....he really died. Playing it".

10-12-2002, 08:33 PM

wow. that's my job.

except i played one hour less than he did this week.

i'm glad i didn't work that extra hour today, otherwise i'd be dead.
