I'm not suprised by this article. My boyfriend plays Warcraft far too much! I even stumbled across a 'warcraft addiction' website D:

That aside, it's very sad that he died. I could not imagine someone simply forgetting to eat. Some people get so immersed in that game though, I can imagine it's quite surreal. Even though it wasn't Warcraft, it was Starcraft [which I haven't heard of!] it's probably the same principle.

As a person who used to live in South Korea, all I have to say:

1. The only-male conscription system is making all the young Korean men into zombie-like people who are very insecure and resort to extreme electronic entertainment for comfort. +2 years of South Korean military will spiritually kill a man forever.

2. Bad education system that only young South Koreans are better off studying Canada en mass. Bad education system leads to alternative way to comfort the reality; gaming is there.
