How the fuck does it take you 9 hours to notice a DEAD FUCKING BODY sitting next to you? talk about failing your spot check.
Also, why does this sort of thing only seem to happen in Asia? Is there something in the water?

While thinking about this article, I randomly realized something.
Death is not pretty. When something dies, their bowels let loose. This goes for dogs, cats, people, everything. This guy likely crapped and/or pissed himself once letting go after that heart attack.
That alone makes me surprised that someone didn't notice for 9 hours. How badly did that place have to smell for people not to get a whiff of hardcore crap and piss? How unsanitary was that place? Surely someone noticed a puddle around the chair (unless the guy was wearing a diaper).
Then you go into things like rigger and the other intense smells, which takes a while longer. That's likely when someone noticed something was up (unless the place was closing 9 hours later).
So it's not just "30 people sitting around playing games at a LAN cafe don't notice dead guy". It's far, far worse than that.

As soon as I read the title I though to myself "Must of happen in like South Korea or something". I was correct!
Oh and I guess sucks to be that kid. Its hard to feel sympathetic to someone who died form not performing basic bodily functions were capable of doing it.

It doesn't strike me as anything to do with the others. A guy sitting at a computer isn't doing anything distracting to the others. I used to work at a café, at if someone slept it the back room on their own paid time, I wouldn't bother them.
The above comparison with a homeless guy in the street is good. People will glance and if it looks somewhat natural, then they'll go on.

Did he drop any good loot?
And now I feel bad about that joke. I've been a game all my life and I still don't understand how people can spend more than 2 hours playing a game and not moving a muscle.

Someone stops moving in a pose indicative of gaming while your attention is focused away from them.
Seems really likely no one would notice it to me - and it's certainly different than a car bursting through a wall. I guess the author has never really been focused before.
Sorry to only respond to that bit, but I'm getting *really* sick of the "I'm scared for our species" b.s. that I see all the time here.

I really don't think its fair to compare a car crashing through a store window to someone quietly passing away in the booth next to you. That's something that "jump to conclusioners" would say. Needless to say its morbid, but people have died in all sorts of public places without much notice. I think the real answer here is that in public people tend to keep to themselves as a respect to everyone else's privacy around them. How often do you walk up to strangers and poke them to see if they're still alive? The staff might have been a little neglectful. I mean this IS an extreme case, but its also a gamer lounge, not a public bus. Only thing to learn here, get up and stretch.
Now, on the one hand I admit, I can actually imagine something like this happening. A preexisting medical condition that causes someone to have an attack while they're sitting down...it's not like he collapsed in the middle of the floor. And when you're at the computer, you don't exactly bounce around in your seat...unless your a 12 year old on a sugar rush...
...but then again, you'd think the staff would notice someone who had been completely motionless, not even shifting in his seat, for NINE HOURS. I mean...wouldn't one of the cafe waitresses at some point gone over and asked if he'd like to order a drink?

Care to elaborate? Or are you just ill informed? League of Legends is a FREE game. You can invest the time to unlock things, or you can throw money at the developers. There is no "forcing". The summoner level system is in place to not only ensure that people are competent at the game before playing against people who have been playing since day one, but also to make getting banned mean something. If you're banned and you roll a new account, you start from scratch and have to earn the right to play ranked again. I believe that's an elegant solution. While it's true that runes cannot be bought for money, I see no issue there. You really don't need them until level 20, and in order to be that level, you will have necessarily earned enough in game cash to easily afford enough for a page or two, as well as several champions.ionveau said:
Odds are we all are. Judge not lest ye be judged, etc. Sin is sin as far as the bible is concerned, there are no varying degrees of it. To that end, you will also be going to Hell, as will I for pointing it out. This of course assumes that such a place exists, and is not in fact Detroit. That being said, I don't have a problem with spending eternity with the majority of the past/present/future population of earth, as Christianity is a very minor religion outside of America and Europe, and always has been. Frankly, people like you cause me to lose more faith in humanity (assuming you were serious) than people who don't notice that a guy in a cold room isn't sleeping.Radelaide said:

Looks like you

Hell'd me up.
Didn't anyone else think about all those stealth kills from the benches in assassin's creed? Because it sounds like the work of ezio to me.
This article makes me think of two things, and since somebody already posted that quote from Collateral, here's a quote from Mitch Hedberg.
"I was at a casino. I was standing by the door, and a security guard came over and said, 'You gotta move -- you're blocking the fire exit,' as though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run.
If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit."
