The chap was playing these online games so popular with youths around the world, and dropped dead after his ticker stopped.

The wire said the geezer started playing games on the 3rd of August and only left his terminal to go to the wazzeria. Nor did he sleep much.

The story is here.

Interesting to ponder, then, on the surpassing Alexander the so-called Great, who even conquered areas of India but didn't live very much longer. Which is better? Online gaming or killing countless people in a quest for notoriety? We leave that for you, dear reader, to judge. µ
