I received an email from J.W. Koebel tonight, pointing me at this article:

Why Do Computer Games Claim Lives?

"People who haven't slept for a long time usually don't realize how exhausted or stressed they are," says Dr. Song Hyeong-gon of Samsung Seoul Hospital's Emergency Department. "Because they are stressed by the obsession with winning the game, they consume a considerable amount of energy. In such a physically exhausted condition, exposure to bright colors or stimulating images on the screen is likely to irritate the cerebral cortex and can cause sudden death."

J.W.'s played MMORPG's in the past, and shares some additional thoughts about the addiction to playing these games. I'll let him take it from here. Go read his post.
