dot com we have a couple of new
slots that have opened up and i would love to be in touch with you about it
here is a kind of disturbing story uh... an xbox attic addict
has died from a blood clot
and uh... and his family obviously uh... is very upset and has launched a
campaign about the health risks of playing online computer games too much
twenty years old
post-mortem revealed that twenty-year-old christan first who was
offered a place to study game design leicester university was killed by a
pulmonary embolism
which can occur piece in the same position for hours
deep vein thrombosis normally affects passengers on long-haul flights
the medical experts fear youngsters who spent too many hours glued to their
consoles
and also be at risk analyst
you know a lot about this because you up on announcing lewis never had a gaming
addiction but louis is known as a connoisseur
internet
computer games as that there's a
and louis highly involved in everything from
warcraft
new i mean what other games where they're diablo two at one point i
believe it was what were the other big ones that you were
in a very high level operating a high-level preservative main ones yet
they can i tell the story about the the infamous bed sheet incident
there was one time where i think lewis was probably about twelve years old
and um... i showed up at the time his parents house obviously and the place
where louis had the computer
i guess that it was near a window so that there was some sunlight that would
uh...
you know get in there ann lewis could not stand to have the gaming interrupted
even for a second
so i walked in there instead
to his mom where it was a little else and he said i was right over there and i
look over what lewis had done was his people to bed sheet
over the computer monitor and then over his head to create somewhat of a cocoon
in which she could continue to gain
uh... unfunded
by the sunlight is that an accurate portrayal
hundred-percent
and what they are doing their student that story
now but where were steroid couldn't even see the screen nothing i could be like a
storeroom
the whole walls of likable hole was john windows and you have to continue gaming
obviously because otherwise you're level forty six merlot and would not have been
able to you know use the witches brew to heal people or whatever right something
like that anyway i couldn't see the screen
so i had steak
drastic measures socket but in all seriousness than many of the people that
are on some of these servers clearly have a computer game addiction right
it's pretty bad
i think the only country
all that i've heard of actually recognizes
gaming addiction as an actual addiction
south korea
but and they have a lot of gamers there in a lot of these game servers are based
there seems to be problem
that's the day means big bear
and they have actual camps and programs to help with it and i've heard a lot of
or stories
dating a guy i've seen some of those documentaries yeah
there's and i think it's a front line thirty minute for our documentary about
gaming addiction it's pretty extreme but so now where you would you say you are
are recovering computer game addict or you never work
i was an addict you're you're reading it are weslia so you're basically computer
game addicts anonymous accepted lewis is coming out of the closet as americans no
longer remaining anonymous
by uh... i was an addict were you able to resolve this on your owner was
intervention necessary no i just quick cold turkey
really dept
and was that time
not really i think it was easier 'cause i kinda started just getting bored
and eventually i was just like uh... where my feeling uh... undone
the uh... the mantra synergistic is taking too much of a toll on you and
your you know
your level six quaker whatever just wasn't up to par anymore
quaker her go back back the real issues that there have been
many cases in which uh...
kids have literally starved himself to death
sitting in front of the game for too long until at the top right where the
parents
malt there are multiple instances
in which case of diet
from starvation
what part of this strike which contract we happen any contract
uh... starvation and there is one story where
a couple left there
poplar
at home
they were added
internet cafe gaming together
playing this is crazy playing a game where you raise a baby
and there are the real baby start
they're real baby died
incredible
as i know as we talked about it being a main times there are many women excited
about the possibility of a relationship with producer lewis but
rest assured
you would never
go to the internet cafe in game for twelve hours and media baby at home too
dot
howard i think that
