A 23-year-old Beijing game addict was rushed to a hospital after swallowing five pieces of saw blades in an attempt to commit suicide, the Beijing Legal Times reports.

The man "kept talking incoherently about how to win his favorite computer games, even after being sent to a Beijing hospital ICU" on Sunday.

According to the report the man has been addicted to computer games since early in junior high school, but his condition worsened recently.

I wonder if there is something about the culture or politics of China that seems to make people more pre-disposed to game addiction there, or at least makes the results more extreme.

It could be an issue of the media in China writing more about the issue because it's become very high profile recently, but even if that were the case, I still think it's worse there than in other parts of the world.

Told you he was hardcore.

I still think it's worse there than in other parts of the world.

Hardly.

The man "kept talking incoherently about how to win his favorite computer games"

$3,000 says this is bullshit.

How is an adult supposed to understand the incoherent babbling of a guy talking about a subject that only gamers of whatever game(s) he was talking about could really understand?
Not to mention it just sounds really cheesy to say "how to win computer games" I mean who the hell says "win" in reference to video games anymore? You don't win games, you beat them. And chances are it wasn't even a game you 'beat', but an MMO. He was probably talking about strategies or some shit, and this is their misinformed clueless interpretation.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Man, I bet he felt really saw.

EDIT: oh god

oh god

i would delete this post but my ****ing hands have just dropped off because this is so bad

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Man, I bet he felt really saw.

No Milkdudds. NO.

Edit: Sigged for future reference.

Yeah I'm not swallowing it. The others can believe, but we saw that it was fake.

 

[Darkside55]

Man, I bet he felt really saw.

Your wit's kind of dull today. That pun was a little hard to digest.

 

[Vegeta897]

Yeah I'm not swallowing it. The others can believe, but we saw that it was fake.

Just to clarify, I was talking about the part I quoted specifically, not the story itself.

I see your 3k and raise you a billion.

 

[kineaesth]

His family must be really cut up.

 

[Sledgehammer]

There are also some fascinating talks with the folks afflicted with this addiction, like teenager Jia Chunyang who calls Counterstrike his "drug" of choice.

VALVe is the evil.

His family must be really cut up.

Forget them , what about his ass after they come out?!

[Sulkdodds]

Cut it out, or I'll ram your teeth straight down your throat.

 

[Eejit]

You'd better be able to back that up, or he'll make you eat those words.

I know, I saw the pun from a mile off.

 

[Vegeta897]

This is just another case of parents razoring their children poorly.

/bad one

If it was a female in question I could have said "they didn't razor very well" or something.

 

[mortiz-Redux]

Oh noes!

 

[lefty]

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

and a hand in the bush is worth two birds, hand or otherwise

 

[morgs]

I bet he's feeling really cut up about it all.

EDIT: lol at the strepsils guy.

 

[CyberPitz]

Get the powerup and win the game!

 

[Vegeta897]

No Pitz you need to kill prostitutes and cops for bonus points.

 

[Mech Man]

Wait a second. I thought we was playing capture the flag!

 

[kineaesth]

His family must be really cut up.

I bet he's feeling really cut up about it all.

Yeah good pun there.

 

[mortiz-Redux]

Damn, I bet he's all cut up about it :/

ho ho ho, I'm so original, fags.

 

[mchammer75040]

You have all obviously failed to realize this article coming out of china was probably just another act of their internet troll army. The whole "how to win video games" part is so ****ing is bullshit.. not just from what veggie pointed out, but who in the hell can talk about video games when ****ing saw blades were jammed down your throat minutes before!?
:dozey:

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm going to cut someone up.

 

[Darkside55]

ho ho ho, I'm so original, fags.

Fags? Everyone in this thread is straight.

 

[kineaesth]

Your wit is razor sharp. I saw most of these puns from a mile off. Let's get back to the point of this thread.

 

[the cow says moo]

I'm not even going to try to come up with a clevor pun so I don't fail like Sulkdodds. Sorry if that was a little harsh.

 

[Sulkdodds]

You know, it would have been very ungracious of me to begin with the best pun I could muster, leaving nothing for anyone else.

 

[the cow says moo]

I don't know if I can believe that, I mean that first one was pretty bad.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I felt that with you lot I'd have to set the bar pretty low.

 

[CyberPitz]

No Pitz you need to kill prostitutes and cops for bonus points.

If I shit on their dead face, do I get more power-ups to kill MORE prostitutes and cops for MORE BONUS POINTS?!?!?!?

 

[Krynn72]

I saw what all you guys did there.

 

[Stigmata]

I wonder what games he blade.

 

[Diesel_Power]

I hope he had some halls for the sore throat afterwards.

 

[Raziaar]

This is stirring up quite a buzz. If he was a bit more secretive about it, he mitre succeeded in his attempt to kill himself before being found and rushed to the hospital.



EDIT: Maybe i'll change that around a bit...

They mitre saw it coming if only they observed his habits a bit more closely.

Lol. I love this thread.
