yes, there is life outside your computer

and i thought i didn't have a life (pun sort of intended). in the news:

China web-user dies after three-day online binge

BEIJING -- A man in southern China collapsed and died after a three-day marathon online session at a cybercafe, state media reported on Monday.

The web-user, estimated to be 30 years old, suddenly collapsed in front of his computer terminal in Guangdong province, and emergency personnel were unable to revive him, the Beijing News reported.



i now have a new mantra to recite. ok, everyone, repeat after me:
yes, [your name here], there is life outside your computer.

First time I heard about this was in one of Boston Legal's episodes. Game makers actually hire experts to make their game more addictive. I thought imposible naman ata may maglaro for 3 days. Then a few days later after watching that episode, I read the same article on the news! waaaah!
