2002: Microsoft releases Whacked! for Xbox. I guess this is some sort of online party game. But what is should be is an early 90's spoof where the player walks around a mall and calls everything they see "whacked". It would be like Dead Rising - minus the zombies, plus the scrunchies.

2002: A 24-year old South Korean man dies in an Internet Caf after gaming for 86 hours without food or sleep. He is found in a restroom. Let's all raise a glass tonight for someone who sure, sounds a little crazy, but was also more of a gamer than any of us will ever be (hopefully). Mark Wilson
