The guy's an adult... and in Korea this extent of obsession for video games is not uncommon at all. The only reason he's in the news is because he had a heart attack - the media simply covered the fact that he had been playing there for 50 straight hours because that's unheard of in the US.

Wow, thats nuts. Didnt that cafe place close? You'd think a place like that has a closing time, or at least a limit on the amount of time you could spend at a computer there. Its sad when people get to that point, its that kind of story that gives games a bad name.

Korea is more big on MMORPGs... They dominate the GuildWars world untill the late evening, which is probably when they go to sleep lol. But yeah, in the US the highest level character back when I played Lineage was 54-56, while Posideon in Korea was 76 (the highest level character ever).
