Today we learn not to play COD for 4 days straight

Are you trying to play Modern Warfare 3 for four days straight?

Don't do that, as you'll probably collapse, be taken to hospital by your over-anxious mother and make global news.

That's what happened to Columbus teen Tyler Rigsby after becoming severely dehydrated from his 4-day gaming marathon, reports news.com.au.

Moral panic favourite Modern Warfare 3 has been singled out as the game the 15-year-old played so much "on Xbox that he made himself sick."

He did venture out of his bedroom for food and quick showers, but turned slightly blue when he went out to visit his Aunt who immediately called an ambulance.

A US doctor says gamers should not do that, and his mother has since taken away his Xbox as punishment.

One time I played Mario Kart Ds for so long that my thumb hurt.
So I stopped.

I can't play MW3 for more than an hour before I cant stand it. I blame the maps. its just a maze of buildings and dead end alleys now, MW1 and 2 were a big circle with ways to cross through the middle.

Hopefully BO2 has the same map formula as MW1/2.

TL:DR; **** MW3.
I cringe at the sight of these stories because they usually reflect badly on "gamers" or games themselves [Shifty]

I'm just going to look down on anyone that literally kills themselves for this game.
I look down at anyone that literally kills themselves playing any game.
Looks like he... lost the game. [MOG]
Very silly. [Facepalm]
What a dedicated camper.
The kid is an idiot.
