      Default Four Day Gaming Marathon Sends Boy to Hospital

      Ohio boy hospitalized after 4-day Xbox marathon

      A 15 year-old boy from Ohio went on a 4 day gaming binge before collapsing several times and being taken to the hospital.

      I smell a lawsuit coming... Get your lawyer team ready Infinity Ward... You're going down for making your game too addicting!

      Sounds like some poor parenting as much as anything. Kids will be kids that's why parents are needed.

      Saw "gaming" and its addiction possibilities recently on National Geographic Channel. Some have killed themselves going on these binges.

      I think kids who play video games this much are crazy. My little brother is always playing a ridiculous amounts and reading up on the latest games coming out. It never really made sense to me, until now..

      Lil MJ is proving me wrong as he heads to Seattle on Saturday to pursue a Video Game designer career by starting his Grad School work at Digipen Institute: https://www.digipen.edu/. Very happy for him and wanted to brag somewhere.

      He's about to make a career out of it and will probably wind up making more money than I ever have. Who would have thought.

      I went to High School with a kid who was a game junkie. He works for EA Sports now and makes boo coos of money developing and testing the games.
