In the last few days, two gamers died after marathon play sessions. The most recent victim, a 27-year-old man in Taiwan, played for 32 hours straight before he "overdosed." The cause of death was listed as exhaustion. A South Korean man died several days earlier. His Net binge lasted 86 hours. A psychologist said that playing games for hours on end with no rest, combined with the sensory overload, can be too much for the body and the mind to handle.
