HALO HALO HALO

Word on the street is that gaming fan Peter Jackson is making a film version of Halo in New Zealand. The production budget is meant to be huge. I wonder who'll play the Master Chief. Maybe it can be some Benny Hill style movie, with the actors shooting each other in the arse (which, of course, is how I play Halo - that is, when I'm not hiding in the corner hoping the Covenant won't find me...... I guess this kinda defeats the purpose).

Now, if only someone would make a film version of Tenchu: Return from Darkness (ninja! yeah, run away....... you not much for me).

A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing online battle simulation games at the cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.

Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play online games on Aug. 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said.

"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone.

Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.

After he failed to return home, Lee's mother asked his former colleagues to find him. When they reached the cafe, Lee said he would finish the game and then go home, the paper reported.

He died a few minutes later, it said.

South Korea, one of the most wired countries in the world, has a large and highly developed game industry.
