Following a 24-hour marathon gaming session in World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion, a 15-year-old Swedish boy collapsed and went into convulsions, reports the Times Online.
"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 newspapers in Sweden.
Doctors who examined the boy determined that he had an epileptic seizure brought on by lack of sleep, lack of proper food and prolonged exposure to the mental stress of playing Wrath of the Lich King.
