hahahahaha, that got me a good laugh too

too bad I think it's somewhat faked

 

[Pesmerga]

Yeah the english on that article is horrendous. Too boring to have been funny, though.

Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

[CREMATOR666]

[JellyWorld]

I dunno it looks fake, I mean it's too funny to be true. Battle between Roman Gods? Dane Madsen stealing cars? lol.

I can just see the anti vid game people:

'It may have looked like a forum addiction and he may have been an old man, but we can clearly conclude that it was violent video games that really killed him, because, let's face it people, thats all computers are really for.'

 

[<RJMC>]

this is real?

if is real them it get the WTF? award of the day

haha you wish I'm actually eating sensibly, smoking is whats gonna kill me, not some forum


I had to laugh though at that article.. Kids dying from CS:S, now old people dying from forums. Bet Doom3 gets the blame for that too

 

[Sid Burn]

I really hope that wont happen to me... I spend like 8 hrs on teh forums i've joined. though I can only do that on my vacations.

Unlikely to happen, that guy just took it too far. They must have been REALLY interesting forums though. I mean, this site is boring after the initial replying to posts from the night before, then its dead all day. You'd have to try really hard to die around here of anything but boredum

 

[hellboy900]

I still can get over this story.

 

[ríomhaire]

Thank God I am only registered on 3 HL related forums. (this, Leak-fee(Black Mesa: Source) and Garry's mad(God that's a crap forum))

 

[Maxi]

I better start posting less

"Once, I thought I had him," said Lucian Wanamaker, "when I said that mom had made cookies, but half out of his chair, he just sat back down mumbling something about two Roman gods; I believe it was Jupiter and Atlas having some sort of titanic battle. 'Let them eat PIE,' he bellowed banging on his keyboard."

I got a real kick out of that part.

 

[Gorgon]

this is real?

if is real them it get the WTF? award of the day

exctly, his wife killed him and made it look like the PC was the responsible.

 

[HunterSeeker]

I hope this dosent lead to nutcases campaigning about banning forums...

 

[PvtRyan]

First he's childless in the article and then he has a son?

He is 54 and his wife 26? Either he's really lucky, or this is fake.

i thought his wife was married to him for 26 years.

Either that or... yeah it's fake.

Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company...

"He felt under terrible pressure to be part of the online community," said his son, Lucian, who says he tried several times to get his father's attention and lure him away from the computer

 

[The Dark Elf]

Either that or... yeah it's fake.

His name was Childress H. Wanamaker

Still gotta be fake though... or just insane.

Maybe he couldn't find the 'log out' button.

 

[Asknoone]

Haha....funny.

 

[KoreBolteR]

[SimonomiS]

Maybe he couldn't find the 'log out' button.

I bet he realised he was dying and searching desperately for it.

[Pesmerga]

What's wrong with Kuwait?

 

[Sui]

Why didn't they just turn his PC off from the plug for god's sake? I'd have stolen his power cable and then ran away! He'd probally be left thinking "Huh? Where the hell am I?"

*edit*

He must have been bursting for the loo. Either that or...
