Didn't he go to toilet and all? Was he doing it there itself?
What about food and water?

How was he getting all of that if he was siting at the same place for 22days..!

as per the report, he took time off to take food and to take naps. probably gaming is not the exact cause the brother had fallen of, to think, many people do these kind of gaming in their college holidays.

but i heard some guys died after gaming 5-6 days straight, without rest and on caffeine / energy drinks, sitting in the same position all the time. it caused extreme fatigue, nervous system breakdown, cardiac muscle disorder, etc etc to cause the death.

rip....

it's not so bad as it's made out to be
misleading language in the article, probably pandering to pre conceived notions of readers and exploiting fear and paranoia
stopping to sleep and eat is perfectly fine, professionals in DOTA game as much

oh and baby potty

Gaming is the gateway drug to death.
