In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Your body can go without sleep for 72 hours. This guy must have been pushing himself with the gaming!


Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

In 1964 high school student Randy Gardner (17) attempted to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time awake -- 260 hours. And after 11 days without sleep he suffered no hallucinations or paranoia and no psychotic symptoms. But Coren challenges this often repeated fact in his book. Coren describes the day-by-day impact on Randy, as documented by John Ross of the US Navy Medical europsychiatric Research Unit in San Diego. Randy had trouble focusing his eyes on day 2, hallucinations on day 4, and slurred speech and a short attention span by the last day.

I do remember reading this on some health website for a school project a few months ago.

Maybe it was wrong...

He quit his job to play more video games, was 28 years old and lived with his mother ... I'd say heart failure was the least of his problems.

True, true.

Hey, does anyone live in the states and watch the channel g4-techtv? There is a show on there called "race to g-phoria" (for the upcoming debut of the episode of the G4 awards. On the nominee part there was a preview for World of Warcraft. There was this clan (guild for all you hardcore nerds out there) ready to go into some big fight in this room with all these dragons and stuff. They were going through their strategy and all when one of their members decides to randomly charge into the battle by himself. It was hillarious, they were using mics so you could hear them, right when the little troll went crazy everyone started cussing and yelling at him for screwing it up. Of course a couple seconds after the troll yelled "CHARGGGGEEE", they all panicked and ran in disorganized and were all masacred. Ahh, dont you love geeks?

These people can't get any more crazy. I heard about a man that almost killed his girlfriend because she deleted his character on Lineage II. MMORPGs make people insane.
