    Anyone hear the news about an xbox addict dying from blood clot after playing for several hours?

    This akaqa site could be as just as dangerous.

    A coroner's court in Sheffield was told how the youngster -- who had no underlying medical conditions -- was complaining of a low heart rate before collapsing outside a Jobcentre.


    Staniforth's distraught father said his son would spend up to 12 hours playing on his Xbox.


    "He got sucked in playing Halo online against people from all over the world."

    THey guy was 20 yrs old. Why was he playing xbox for up to 12 hours a day... Not that that is important in this sad case.... But it does make me wonder....

    As it states above, He was in competition with people all over the world. That would consumed a lot of time on his Xbox competing all over the world, he did this on a daily basis.

    I never spend 12 hours on AKA. I fill in the gaps between ding other things.

    I think alot of us smoke, have kids, and pets... so we are up and down the whole time we are online. But AKA  is addictive.

    I don't sit continually, I have some things to do.

    I often get on here with my iphone on a bike machine or treadmill, does that help?

    Yes yes I think it does.. I need to do that!!! I am getting chunky.

    I thought you started working out? Did you quit smoking?

    I'm sure it does. Remember to get up and walk around every so often or just take your laptop to other room.
