“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 the Kvällsposten newspaper in Sweden.

Well why didn't he stop them then the muppet!

I would have called this gaming addiction to be honest, I doubt he is addicted to the playstation it self

Also

how long has World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King been on the Playstation?

its two different reports jay

Sounds like a good lan tbh :D

All in moderation…….24hrs of gaming is not in moderation!

thats what I get for being an idiot. :D

Sounds like bad parenting to me.

You mean that allnight LANs have bad effects on your health? Damn.. that's me messed up then.

Aside from mucking up your sleep patterns, no I wouldn't say so.

And I'm guessing Platinum meant it would've made for a good LAN, you can't call someone addicted if they spend a weekend gaming madly… (having not read the story) maybe if he's playing 24/7 then that'll be addiction. Anyone remember that story of the guy who starved to death because he was addicted to internet forums?

"If I even think about it I want to throw up," said the boy.

He's got an Xbox 360 now.
