Even as I thumb-type this on my hiptop I recall the numbers of gaming shops and cafes in Adelaide and Sydney, chockers with Asian students come 6pm.</p><p>Good call.</p>LeeFri, 30 Nov 2007 07:17:38 -0000http://www.leehopkins.net/2007/11/27/medical-condition-getalificus/#comment-22699809<p>I may not have stayed up 50 hours straight, but I've definitely, many times, got up at 6am, played world of warcraft til midnight, slept then played again. It's not sustainable but definitely fun for a while. :)</p><p>I notice a lot of people who die playing games come from Asia - I wonder if it is the social nature of the gaming? (the games take place in something like an internet cafe (PC Bang) as opposed to broadband at home). I can see the temptation, it would be like trying to leave a party. "I really should go home - oh look who just walked in the door!"</p>LaurelPapworthMon, 26 Nov 2007 13:29:34 -0000
