A Korean doctor has outlined a health risk pattern that predicts death from online gaming. The most common cause of gaming death in Korea, according to Dr. Song Hyeong-gon, is pulmonary thrombo-embolism, a seizure of the cortex. In the gaming cases, it is caused by sudden visual stimulation following long periods of high stress with low physical activity. Eurogamer reports; Chosunilbo Digital had the original story (but I don't have a link).
Makes me wonder: Should Terra Nova have a health category? Should we get a gaming health expert to join us?
