Why do these people always seem to be Korean? I know that South Korea is a hotbed of gaming, as anyone who has played Guild Wars and seen the constant messages stating that Korea just destoyed the Western world on online battle can attest to, but this is getting out of hand. It seems almost like people in S. Korea who have addictive personalities and would normally be alcoholics or drug abusers are killing themselves with videogames instead.

This is a problem.

The longest I've ever spent in one sitting was probably 5 or 6 hours and then I started getting real sleepy and got a headache. Also, my eyes were getting blurry...
