happened all the time during my time playing EQ. We saw folks dying, locking their kids in the closet, and babies dying to neglect. Stupid stupid rat creatures!
People take things way too far in gaming nowdays. Im almost inclined to agree with some psychologists that there is gaming addiction and it should be part of a treatable program. We spend tons of time online and we neglect our families, work, etc in doing so. Some, just take it way to the Nth degree. Its sad.
My roommate would make us all look bad. Hes currently out of school for the summer, but he works up here at the internet cafe. We are friends with the owner and my friend works for him. He will come up here at 1pm and stay till close. Then, go get food somewhere and come back up here after hours and play all night long. Then sleep and do it all over again. Hes playing WoW, of course
Yeah the dude is gonna die of lack of sun, food, sex, or something. I use to play when I got off work (EQ) till 5 am in the morning when I was a lot younger, but no way in hell I could pull playing almost all day. My eyes, back and my sanity would be shot.
in that order, will kill him. After all, biologically speaking, you are dead if you don't reproduce. It has to do with hormone balance and such, but lack of sex actually makes you die sooner.

Wait, so does this mean that all those hardcore [insert genre here] geeks will actually die off simply because they can't get a woman (or, to a lesser degree, man)?

Get a good chair and a good screen and youd be fine.

Studies have proven that life time virgins die young.

Hold on, since when do geeks forego cyber sex for actual sex
The thought of getting their snake-belly pale skin all sweaty must seem gross somehow. Heh.

Somehow I've a feeling that's not exactly a causal relationship but likely related to other lifestyle factors.
Anyway, it'd be nice if you could mention what journal this study was in
People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.

Now that's not fair Paazin, you know Nekulor and those who share his ideals don't have much spare time for silly things like 30 second Google searches, links and sources.
If it were important, it'd be mentioned in the Republican bible somewhere

Nekulor is correct. Life long virgins tend to die young. Or to put it another way, people who die before they have sex usually die too young to have had sex. Or to put it another way, IT WAS A JOKE YOU NOOBS!
