Totally Blizzard's fault: Boy collapses after WotLK marathon

Although most bets on real-world Wrath of the Lich King drama had good odds on it involving a dead gamer in Asia, we're sure the media will be more than happy to take its pound of flesh from an exhausted Swedish boy as the latest victim of "game addiction." The 15-year-old went into convulsions following a marathon World of Warcraft session in which he hardly ate or slept.

Doctors say the boy will make a full recovery and the child's father expressed he'll limit the amount of time his son plays from now on. That must be awful for the dad; now he has to make sure his son is eating properly and pay attention to how the boy is spending his time. Parental responsibility is, like, totally not fun.

And this is just another reason for me to never touch a WoW game. I don't doubt its greatness, but I know I'd get sucked in like millions of others.

You guys wanna know the sad part is that they release the game close to the end of the semester and many kids will be failing finals now for sure

Then you should probably never drink, own a gun, ski, or do anything else that stupid people die from.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
