Huff Po -‘League of Legends’ Gamer Dies In Taiwan It took hours for patrons and staff to notice the corpse of a man who died after an hours-long gaming session at an Internet cafe in Taiwan, Sky News reports. Staff members at an Internet cafe in New Taipei City discovered the lifeless body of Chen Jung-yu Wednesday night when they came to tell him that the 23-hour gaming pass he had purchased Tuesday night had expired. The 23-year-old gamer apparently died 10 hours earlier, according the Taipei Times. Police told the Taipei Times they were disgusted when they arrived at the scene to find other gamers were disinterested in the corpse and wanted to continue playing during the investigation. A picture of the crime scene posted to paper’s website shows the corpse with outstretched arms reaching toward the keyboard of a computer. The body had apparently been in that position since 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, about 10 hours into Chen’s gaming session.

Here’s a question.  Has anybody ever owned the death game like Chen Jung-yu just owned the death game?   Taking dying doing what you love to a whole new level.  Not sitting around waiting to get hit by a car or drop dead from a heart attack.  Taking shit into his own hands and putting it all out on the line kicking the bucket exactly how he wanted.  23 hour game sesh at the internet cafe.  Didn’t even take the time to keel over onto the floor.  Just straight up mean mugging the computer screen with his hands on the keypad taking his last breath.  Dropping magic spell cheat bombs like a boss.  Can’t imagine him or his family wanted it any other way.   Hey man they don’t call it League of Mediocre Gamers.  It’s League of Legends.   Mediocre gamers take breaks after like 7 hours to grab a cheeseburger and a smoothie and maybe get a breath of fresh air.  Legends go 23 hours hardcore virtual battling in the internet cafe until they run out of lives or run out of their actual life.

PS – I love the part about how the gamers were all pissed off that the cops were trying to investigate a dead body sitting next to them because it was interrupting their gaming.   Hey cops League of Legends don’t stop bro.  You think the fantasy world just shuts down because a dude drops dead in the internet cafe?  Last I checked my WiFi was still cranked up and I had a pocket full of tokens.   Take CSI: Taipei elsewhere, Fields of Justice aren’t going to vanquish themselves.
