A schoolboy collapsed and went into convulsions after playing a new version of the World of Warcraft computer game for 24 hours straight. The 15-year-old boy and his friends were playing Wrath of the Lich King when he suffered what appeared to be an epileptic seizure, it was reported today. “They played all day and all night. Maybe they got a few hours of sleep. They ate a little food and breakfast at their computers,” the boy’s father told the Kvällsposten newspaper in Sweden. Doctors told the father that his son’s bodily systems had been disrupted by a combination of sleep deprivation, lack of food, and the prolonged period of concentration playing the game. The teenager and six friends are reported to have gathered at his home in Laholm, western Sweden, on Saturday to play the new version of the game which went on sale on Thursday. He collapsed at around 2pm yesterday. The boy is expected to make a full recovery but his father said he plans on limiting the amount of time his son is allowed to play computer games. Here is where I realized the story must be fake: The teenager and six friends are reported to have gathered at his home in Laholm, western Sweden Teenagers that would play WoW 24 hours staright do not have six "RL" friends When reached for comment, King3vbo said "He is my hero" check out the original post here http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article5173755.ece 
These people are the idiots that hated net nuetrality months ago but they are so dumb for Obama fever that they wont say a word we he gets it to pass. I mean, they are the kids in Sweden. PS I just found out last night that Taylor Swift wasn't a guy. My world has been shattered.

If so, it's good.
Also, needs moar goth kids.
Im not goth I'm Sith.
As for 24 hour straight marathon of a shitty game, let them kill themselves on it so I don't have to deal with 'em.
Also, goths are hilarious.
Also, after his son nearly died and had a seizure, he decides to limit the amount of time playing on games, no surprise there, the fucking tool.
The kid is a tool for playing a game non stop, and WoW, and the dad is a stupid arse tool for not being more of a good parent.

Wtf... After that, he's STILL going to let him play WoW? You can't be serious.
From now on only 23 hours at a time.
