Heart condition? Don't be ridiculous - the thread title clearly says that he died from Starcraft. I don't know - maybe the box fell on his head or something.

hmmm lets see, i've been playing FM2005 for about 100hrs, with just short pauses for toilet breaks and to catch a bit of sleep - i feel fine
I'm guessing he must have had some pressing medical condition to die of a heart attack caused by fatigue after that short a stint?
Its important as a hard-core gamer to keep in good physical shape imho - computer gaming often leads to cronic 'couch-potatoe' sydrome.

I was thinking something similar earlier. If you take a long haul flight you can up for many many hours, and no one dies from exhaustion. If they did no one would say "omfg flying kills man".
The obvious solution here is to get adequate sleep and nutrition. and to stay in reasonable shape.
Someone suggested that this guy may have had previous sleep deprivation as part of his gaming hobby - sleep deprivation can cause progressive deterioration. Also the adrenaline rush associated with the game may have played a role.
I dont feel bad about the thread title, trollish though it was"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber
