It sounds like 50 hours is about the maximum amount of time a person can game before their heart explodes. CNN reports that a South Korean man died of heart failure minutes after finishing a 50 hour game marathon. The man had recently quit his job to play more games, that's a bad sign.

Actually, maybe it's just PC games that kill you, because it looks like 50-hour arcade marathons just leave you smelling like a wet cat.
