Teen Goes On A Modern Warfare 3 Marathon For 4 Days And Gets Hospitalized

Teen Goes On A Modern Warfare 3 Marathon For 4 Days And Gets Hospitalized

If you needed more evidence to prove that stupidity is quite common in today’s world, we have yet another example of it with a 15-year-old Ohio boy.

According to a CBS report, Tyler Rigby, from Columbus, played Modern Warfare 3 for four days straight until he eventually fell victim to dehydration and was hospitalized.

Rigby’s aunt Jennifer Thompson said, “It’s like he was looking at me but he wasn’t there. It was like he was looking through me.

“We were talking and I heard a thump and I looked over and he just fell.”

The mother Jessie Rawlins said that she was worried for his life, stating, “He just fell over three times.”

Rigby, after being hydrated by medics, is expected to recover, but his mother said his Xbox will be confiscated.

The last binge-gaming case we heard was a Taiwanese man playing Diablo III for 40 hours straight and dying. Seriously, these people are stupid.

    What parent in their right mind lets their child play for 4 consecutive days non-stop? Fucking idiots. I also don’t know how you would play the same base MP for 4 days without getting bored.

    There was a beautiful comment on an earlier article though: “His k/d ratio must be terrible.”

    Where the hell was his mother in those 4 days?  This has to be the weirdest and most pathetic suicide attempt in history because there’s no other way you could play any FPS multiplayer for more than a few hours.

    Yes, the console is OBVIOUSLY the problem there. The n00b probably blamed lag anyway.

    Inb4 what’s a 15-year-old doing playing a game rated M for mature in front of his elders.
