Actually Chris, I think you are first, a complete moron for caring so much about this story, it was obviously set up to fool and cause people as stupid as YOU to wonder if it was real long enough to investigate it.

And secondly, you are a complete ASSHOLE for posting someones personal information on the internet, regardless of how asinine you found this spoof to be.

In closing, you are a deush.

What amuses me is not the article itself; it’s the way the people above me are calling the author an idiot and a moron. It was a JOKE; a spoof. Of COURSE it’s going to come across as fake. People who feel the burning desire to analyse and dissect an obvious spoof are the ones I would consider morons, not the person who posted the spoofed article.

why would anyone place any trust in the internet anyway?
Seriously, anyone taking the internet seriously = fail.

It is suspect, as mentioned before, that such a person devoted to playing halo 3 would play it in an internet cafe, especially as it is a console game.

In addition, I am not away of televised gaming events in America. Well, I am, but not the the extent that they’d be mentioned in an article about the death of a random player. Even Zyos or the ogres are not treated as sports stars.

The main odd thing is that the article stems from a US source, and still says:

Professional gamers THERE

And proceeds to give an inaccurate description, to a US audience, of what the US game scene is like…

Honestly; this guy is a moron.

@StinkDude1: I’ve seen internet cafes that have consoles in them. I actually applied to work at one, but I decided to turn down their offer since it took over an hour to get there. But yes, there are internet cafes that have consoles in them.

The part that makes it the most obvious that that story is fake is when it says “The 28-year-old man collapsed after playing the game Halo 3at an internet cafe in Shoreham, according to authorities.” YOU CAN’T PLAY HALO 3 AT AN INTERNET CAFE!!! (unless there’s some new internet cafe that has an Xbox 360) Also, he missed a space. I may be nitpicking, but wouldn’t a real article go through some form of proof-reading before it got posted? It’s as if he didn’t even try to make the article look real.

Wow that guy is an idiot.

Theres alot of things wrong with that story. First off Halo 3 is only for the console Xbox 360. Not computer. Second the halo 3 campane is only 12 hours long non stop on legendary all by your self play. Third The only way you can come close to dieing from Halo 3 is if you have a savere seasure. And also is says right there “He only paused playing to go to the toilet and for short periods of sleep,” He stoped to go get some sleep. Even just a little would help out. I’ve stayed up with no rest what so ever for 48 hours “not playing halo” and I was just fine. Sure i was tired but i got some sleep and was fine the next day.

P.S. I know my spelling sucks!!

Does the fool really believe that he can trick people? This can happen with games like WoW, not Halo 3. I do know that Halo 3 is a very good multiplayer game but I doubt that it could cause a thing like this.

I could tell it was a fake just by reading title. Halo 3 is just not interesting enough nor does it contain the content value to keep a player engulfed in game-play for 50 hours.

Perhaps it was a person opposed to Halo 3 specifically.

While I don’t agree with Microsofts wonderful ad campaigns, I do recognize that the game itself is interesting, albeit containing the same kind of gameplay seen in previous entries in the franchise.

I don’t really find it disheartening that a person would make an attempt on Video games, because there are people, every where who do that, it’s the people who have weight with their accusations that bother me.
