Online gaming marathon can be fatal.

Chris Staniforth, a 20-year old video game fanatic died after spending long hours playing Xbox. He

suffered under pulmonary embolism, which can be acquired from sitting on a particular position for a

long period.

Highly addictive – that is online gaming. If you feel too tired writing an essay the entire day, perhaps

this could pass for a break. All you need are few clicks and you are bound on an exciting, action-

packed adventure to the virtual world. Amplify the fun with the chance to meet people from across the

world. Yes, there is no denying the fact that online games are engaging. But before you get too hooked,

remember that everything taken excessively is bad. Take a rest, then just get back where you left off,

or go out with friends. Staniforth's passion for online gaming earned him a chance to delve into Game Design studies at Leicester University. He could have had a splendid future ahead of him. His story is supposed to

teach everyone, not just online gaming junkies, a lesson.

Spread the word. Write an essay, long or short, even if you're not a good essay writer, to promote awareness on the health risk of online

gaming is of big help.
