Are game obsessions safe? Like, not the adoration of a title or series or something, but you know when people in the news get attention because they were "spoken to" by characters or believed they were one? What about people who play games for recognition by playing it to extreme physical limits?

This article got me thinking about it.

Now, I know it was for charity, but ..... why?!?!

Damn, good for that guy. I couldn't even play a game with a controller for 37 1/2 hours and this guy was dancing for that time! He is a good man.

Chefelf:

It's beyond the capacties of some men to play for super-extendo hours at a time. I, unfortunately, have this degenerate ailment.

Dancing 37 hours?

To fund homes for pregnant teens?

If I owned that arcade, I don't know whether I would have appreciated the publicity or kicked him out for making me keep it open overnight. Crazy people.

I like games...

Once I was on the computer for 8 hours straight. It's sad because you don't realise you are actually on there for that long.
