Teen Passes Out Playing World of Warcraft
Sigh, things like this make me embarrassed to be a gamer. It seems a 15-year-old Swedish kid collapsed last month after a 24-hour marathon of the new World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King.
He reportedly had almost no food and only a couple of hours sleep during that period of time and power leveled his way right into a seizure of some sort. Kids of the world, Red Bull is not a food group and you are not a Blood Elf. You require sleep, proper sustenance and yes, even sunlight on occasion.
The popular online role-playing game is often called “Warcrack” because of its reportedly addictive properties. And before you think I’m piling on, I’m a gamer too. But everything in moderation. If you’re spending that much time on the WOW video game you’re not devoting enough time to the WOW card game or the collectible miniatures game.
Now that’s all I have to say about that. I have to get back to Civilization:Revolution. Julius Caesar just declared war on the Mongols and I promised to help him out.
