This guy died of DVT after continuous 12 hour sessions of playing Xbox.

He must have been sitting in near enough the same position throughout that time period.

Wow. This guy must've been really not moving for 12 hrs every day. I mean how many people sit in front of computers 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, and not have this.

I sit on a PC for EASILY 12 hours a day - as I have no school this summer and no job.

I'm not dead yet.

Pretty wild story

WTF? Are you guys a bunch of freaking hermits? You need to unplug once in a while and enjoy some nice fresh air outside. I like to get out and ride my bike, hang out with family and friends, go camping, and just do fun stuff, etc. If you stay plugged into The Matrix for too long then you'll be killed by an agent!

That really is sad for his family..

I don't think I'll ever be able to sit still in front of a computer again..
(emphasis on the 'sit still' though, cuz im still lazy)

Ollll0llllloyyyyyyyyy crrahp!

You guys better have some kind deadman's switch plan going because otherwise you go the games die too.....

My restless buttocks syndrome does not allow me to sit still not even for 3 hours & as i said before Fumbles & i drew the line at 7 hours max when beating coop Halo on legendary - (with no reespawning cheat)
Oldyz can't go beyond 9 hours because he is a weird sleeper
(he basically dies)

Clearly you guys are unmatched & my wish is that you could get some assistance somehow on your projects -
-------------------------Idea ---------------------------------
I hope aliens abduct your A$#ess and make clones that get to live with you
(i swear , there was a show or movie "based on real life" about such thing - & it happened in Canada )
Surprised

Oldyz is on Vancation - Making cropcircles & putting Pingüinos on trees

Oldyz vacation from this forum...

he says he will come back when he gets his new compu-
& do his errands to demonstrate that i don't just talk ideas
he is tired of constantly using Frankenstein machines & hopefully i can help him pay for better internet speeds.


Vancation is where Oldyz's at - Eat some pudding, I will
