Saga (Not Sega) Game Addict Dies While Playing
 We've all been there, but here's a case of one gamer who went too far. "A computer-game addict in western China collapsed and died at his screen after playing the popular online game, Saga, non-stop for 20 hours. The 31-year-old began playing the game regularly at an internet cafe in Chengdu, Sichuan province, three months before his death, according to the South China Morning Post. An employee at the cafe said he would play for more than 10 hours a day and was found dead at the weekend after a marathon 20-hour session."
