A Few Unbelievable Death Cases Linked With Video Games

Due to some reason, it is beginning to seem like human beings have got some sort of addiction to the ‘addiction’ itself. Almost every apparently normal individual is now an addict to something. In control, these things can be very useful and beneficial instead of being dangerous. For example, being tech savvy is helpful but nowadays there are people who are addicts to latest technological gadgets and gizmos. They would buy any device that has even the most distant relationship with their likable device. That is why there is so much demand for a MacBook Replacement screen and iPad Parts nowadays. But, another addiction that is involved with the new technology is Video game addiction.

I'd never heard about the 13 year old boy one until now. Holy shit

[extermin8or]

weigh that against the billions of gamers who play normally, and i'd say its not an addiction to gaming that keeps me playing but rather the story in most cases or fun online, its the same with boooks if the storys good i read continuosly until its finished!

[DeFFeR]

billions?

[writersblock]

Trillions

0_o

But on a serious note, I doubt out of the 7 billion on this planet that 6 billion can afford to game. Millions is a better estimate

[extermin8or]

i meant like around 1 billion lol but the regardless the number is big

This happens when your an addict. Its best to control yourself. But its really sad what happen to the baby due to the parents. They should be locked up with no food, water, or light until the day they die and meet there makers..

That 13 year old had to have been schizophrenic or something.

i'm waiting for the inevitable mass suicide of what's known as the "sony's gate" cult. they think that by killing themselves they'll end up on a spaceship with kratos, sackboy and kevin butler.

[spectyre]

Way to take your fanboyism too far. Both of you for bringing a system into this. This isn't a matter of the system, it's a matter of addiction.

@dizzlek
I've never heard of this group and even a google search doesn't bring anything up
@yewles1
Do you have that video bookmarked for occasions like this?

[gcolley]

@Megaman42xX - did you just google someone's made up joke?

[Megaman42xX]

If that was a joke then I've never face palmed so hard in my entire life. But when I read that it didn't look like a joke and I didn't think it was funny.

[Beahmscream]

This just makes me sad... Clearly these people needed help.

[TrailerParkSupervisr]

and a million people die each year from their addiction to cigarettes yet our government takes their campaign contribution money????

[ATi_Elite]

I heard the Red Ring Of Death is really a secret signal for xbox 360 owners to go super crazy and mame PS3 fanboys for having better technology.

[writersblock]

First one is sad, they should be sterilized or something. How could you pay more attention to a virtual boy while your real baby was dying?

As for the 13 year old kid, good riddance. I mean, if he had a mental disability, thats sad. If he didnt, good thing he got taken out of the gene pool.
Some may say thats harsh, and hes only 13. But Im 16 and remember 13 clearly, and even at 10 I would have read the story and though "Wow, what a dumbass"

Was this article written by a three-year old? Seriously, if you're gonna be a journalist or blogger, learn the basics of your chosen language first.
On topic - there are always going to be morons who can't distinguish between reality and fantasy in any medium. Games are undoubtedly more immersive than films or books, which may lead to more extreme cases, but it's only ever about the tenuous grip these people have on the real world.
