Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games He could have gotten a white collar job here and had an unbeatable connection, played at work, and gotten pay and benefits for it.

It's not if you live or die, it's how you play the game.

This exact story was debunked about a year ago.

Has anyone ever died from 50 hours of Freeping? Maybe I should lie down for a while, don't do anything until I get back!

Pokemon? Back when I was that age...I just turned eighteen, and Pokemon had just come out. Yep, unfortunately, this man doesn't have that excuse. I played RA2 through, twice in one day, both the Soviet and Allied Campaign. Leiutanent Zofia, so sinister, so evil, so sexy in your leather uniform...oh, sorry. Poor family. At least he can actually claim he died because he loved video games so much.
