A 15-year-old boy from western Sweden collapsed and went into convulsions on Sunday afternoon after playing the World of Warcraft computer game for 20 hours straight.

The boy was one of seven friends who had gathered on Saturday at the 15-year-old’s home in Laholm for to play the video game, a new version of which was released last week in Sweden.

“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.

At around 2:00pm on Sunday, the boy had what appeared to be an epileptic seizure.

“We were terrified and called rescue services,” said the father.

Holy crap. Come to think of it, the most I've done was played Max Payne for 3 hours and ended up getting shaky and very hungry. I never would've imagined doing it for 20 hours, though. He must have had a food break at least twice or something!

Yup, I agree with FW, he should try it in little increments, like lose one hour a week or something.

Max ive done on sleep deprivation is 4 days. max ive done on one game is about 12 hours. Not because i can't play anymore, I just get bored!

Holy crap. Come to think of it, the most I've done was played Max Payne for 3 hours and ended up getting shaky and very hungry. I never would've imagined doing it for 20 hours, though. He must have had a food break at least twice or something!

Also I LOVE it when i get all shakey and stuff. it makes my reflex's better. Also why you had this is because your brain released adrenaline into your body. This has happened to me a few times playing shooting games, and that is why it makes my reflex's better.

lol.... somehow this conversation gets depressing all we are bagging about is how much time we have wasted in our lives and trying to win trophys for proving we dont want to really care about our selves.

I remember I spent most of my summer break committed to Guitar Hero 3 and passed out from playing it for over 3 days.
