Damn, thats a really stupid way to go.
But still, where is the cafe owner saying "ok, you've had enough. Come back in a few days."?

I can't even imagine playing a game for more than 2 hours let alone 49 - unless its a game of NS where both sides are evenly matched. That takes a little bit longer but not much.

2 hours lazy?.. how about 8 hours in bf2.. like from 8 in the evening to 4 in the night.. sure happend..

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

My bad, didn't see that one. :D

Back on topic though, that's too long to be playing video games, i mean it would get pretty dry after awhile that's why i usually take breaks and watch a movie or something.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

my breaks is between loading times..

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

Mine too... I get up from my throne and I go get some caffeine (natural guarana juice)...

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming

time for bed.. just got back for 3 hours straight gaming.. the server was kinda weird.. so we all got bored of it.. with weird i mean.. i knifed 3 people several times.. while they were still.. they didnt noticed until i started shooting 5 shots with my shootgun.. first we thought cheaters?.. but its was pb server.. and one of our guys happend to handle quite some bullets too.. so it must have been the server.. after changing to medic class.. which i usually have.. i noticed something that happend to other servers that cant handle the mass of people playing.. i vibrates while zoomed.. aswell as i noticed buddiesflying when they die..not easy reviving someone who is jumping up and down.. kinda scary too..'

anyways.. bed is calling.. ive reached my limit today.. :)

ns 3.0? bah. I played ns when it first came out do to its popularity on the old RB forums. In 1.0x games ranged from average of 2 hours up to 8 hours. I played a game on Bast for 8 Hours. cant even compare new NS with REAL ns. ;)

PS my name was Vermillion.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

I played NS as soon as it came out, once...
The ping for everyone was 800+ so I just went back to tfc for a while then everyone else moved to NS.
Didn't take that long to learn, just hard not to rambo off and knife some aliens :)

But 8 hour games?
I've heard of them but its hard to believe people would play that long, what if the commander has to take a dump?

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

i used to play on a server called Team [K]indred and the best commander played there. his name was chestnutstallion. He had a nervous break down after that game. he sighned off and then 2 years later he sighns in. rofl. but yah . 8 hours man. fun times.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

Wow, nervous breakdown you say?
Well, being a commander you'd have to expect that after 8 hours of...

"COMM HMG PLZ"
"shotgun plz"
"im gunna knife that cloaked alien"
"wtf where do i buy gunz"
"AHHH! WHAT IS THIS RED THING ON MY SCREEN?!"

I'd flip out too, but luckily I never comm :)
I still play on the [SA] NS marine training server killerz.dns2go.com:27016, the alien team is locked so only bots can join aliens.

he would constantly send ha/jp rines to vent hive only to get raped.

we had control of sewer and gen. we relocated to sewer. then lost gen . took vent lost sewer. stale mate over vent for about 2 hours pushed our way to sewer and it went on and on. eventually the marines won.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

I finally deduced you mean Natural Selection, and I think I remember it being popular over at RB.

Was that the one where you could play a headcrab? I was very interested in it when it first was aired, but afaik it never came out. (Or it took so long I lost interest in HL, cstrike etc. and didn't notice/care.) Must have taken years.

Btw Trub, the jaw looks like it is too flat underneath -or seems to be the wrong shape for the heavy jaw stock. (perhaps increase broadness as it goes back?) Often further back it is muscle and loose flesh with fat that builds up between the chin and the gullet.

Of course, it may be my manic mood, don't take it to heart. ;)

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

only thing i know about ns is hovaring scorpions...

I've played lan with friends for a couple of nights in a row... but we usually take a break in between the games, to play some beerbowling or eat or watch a movie or whatever...

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

It still didn't say what exactly killed him. Was it dehydration?

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

Probably not, since he was at a cybercafé... He probably died of lack of sleep.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

maybe the combination of lack of sleep food water.. and what more..

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

TruB I think you missed something in your list..

girls.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
 

It was of good ole' exhaustion. And did you guys know China made a law that limits.. What was it? 4-2 hours of Online gaming per day o.O...
(he did eat *some*, drink *some* and nap for aprox 2 times in 3 intervals.

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming

Re: Korean dies after 49 hours of gaming
