http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/10181974/Teenager-with-undiagnosed-heart-condition-dies-after-having-heart-attack-while-playing-Xbox.html I didn't know brains had oxygens too. I swear if this can also happen in any other video game than Sonic...

I didn't know brains had oxygen too.
What?
Yep, brains do require oxygen; the whole body requires oxygen to function. If you lack oxygen in your brain you're likely to faint often or develop certain conditions that are permanent.

"This is nothing to do with video games. It is a report of a surge of adrenalin causing a heart attack - an obviously very rare event."
Sorry if this sounds heartless, but if they sue SEGA or Microsoft, it would be the stupidest thing ever.

If he was starving of oxygen, why would he be playing games.

Better yet, WHY DOES THIS EVEN RELATE TO SONIC OR XBOX AT ALL? I know he was playing a video game, but still.

Blame the parents

"jumping and down and yelling at the screen"

Well it sounds like Jake was frustrated at his XBox.
Probably playing Sonic '06.

Probably playing Sonic '06.Probably not; it said he was overly excited. He was more than likely playing Sonic Unleashed. Now that game there is an adrenaline maker.

(Also, I don't want to turn this into a Sonic '06 debate, but Sonic '06 doesn't really have that many frustrating moments to me except for a part or two. The glitches are somewhat annoying, but not enough to make me overly frustrated. But that's just me though. Again, I'm not wanting this to turn into a Sonic '06 argument.)

There was a case where a teen was hospitalized from playing cod for 96 hours on end.

Sky's right about unleashed, That game is one hell of an adrenaline rush. I would always get adrenaline rushes when I was close to beating a part of a game that seemed so intense or so, other games too but yeah.

@STC, I can't stop laughing at that one.

Wow, there really are some people that are seriously addicted to games that they play so much until it pains them.

I've heard some horror stories over the years about video game addiction, but this... Just... wow... I'm speechless.
