Everyone has their vice. I will admit to having watched sport on the couch until the point where I began to smell pretty funky. OK, well past that point.

But really Taiwan, you need to learn to the draw the line somewhere before death. That’s right, a 32-year-old Taiwanese man was found dead in an internet café after a THREE-DAY gaming binge. CNN reports:

The man, surnamed Hsieh, entered the cafe in Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s second largest city, on January 6…

An employee found him motionless and sprawled on a table at 10 a.m. on January 8 and he was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead from cardiac failure.

The scariest part of all this? Other gamers continued playing as if nothing had happened when police and paramedics arrived.

Another man was found dead at a café in Taipei, Taiwan on January 1st after a five-day binge, making that two deaths already this year. Oh, and another in 2012, where the man’s corpse went unnoticed for 10 hours by staff and other gamers.

I can take turning the undies inside out or guzzling energy drinks to keep the eyes open, but when you can feel your heart packing in you should maybe throw in the towel and call it a night.
