  3. Cristian Martinez on August 30, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    poor guy , he graduated from college but he could not still get rid of his depression, i think a parent has to look after their children even when they become adults so that they don’t get to this point



  4. ishrakPROGamer on August 30, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    My internal organs melted after discovering chubbyemu
    i am fascinated how real he makes these sound to kids
    like who plays games for 73 hrs? if anyone does then his brain is messed up



  5. Ware on August 30, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    what game did he play tho



  6. MattyMatthew on August 30, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    I’m glad I like standing instead of sitting



  7. Taurian Deveaux on August 30, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    He did not suffer from sitting when monks sit literally for way more days than that in the same position. There is a monk who has sat by a tree for many years



  8. u/555mackereltuna on August 30, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    I feel blessed that I’m only allowed 3 hours a week.



  9. Vbuck millionaire on August 30, 2021 at 10:06 pm

  16. Lachimollala ? on August 30, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    I need to share this video with my brother cause he’s *obsessed* with video games.



  17. NikaRuso on August 30, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    Theoretically, if we gave this guy fibrinolytics while he was still sitting and let him sit a bit longer to give the clot some time to break down, could this be incident be prevented? How realistic would it be in practice?



  18. Andres Garcia on August 30, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    This will not be a problem for me since I sucked at gaming and also my eyes gets tired easily.



  20. Jake Ercilla Cadag on August 30, 2021 at 10:24 pm

  21. Unknown Shorts on August 30, 2021 at 10:27 pm

  24. Gosheto Dimov on August 30, 2021 at 10:31 pm

    May God ( Jesus Christ The Son, The Father, The Holy Spirit ) The Holy Trinity Bless His Soul, Our God Is 3 In 1, Amen☦️❤️✝️

  26. Tieia Talks on August 30, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    I lived in Korea from ‘04-‘06. A man died in a similar manner back then.



  27. Kari on August 30, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    … I stayed up for 3 nights and 4 days when I was 17, just to see if I could. I also played FF7 for 3 days without sleep. But took bathroom breaks and ate. But didnt sleep.



  28. Extraction Of Thy Soul on August 30, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    how is it even fun to play games for 73 hours jesus



  29. Tasman Morley on August 30, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    I find this so interesting,
    And internet gaming disorder sounds silly but I totally get how it is diagnosable.



  30. RAMITON on August 30, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    Those are rookie numbers.



  31. ag on August 30, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    welp, time to go back to playing minecraft.

    also, please move your legs if you’re sitting for long periods of time. even it you’re not sitting for 73 hours, you still have a chance of DVT and the clot breaking off and instantly heading to your heart or lung.



  32. Giri on August 30, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    Super explanations, speak and presentations



  33. ɢʟɨȶƈɦ ӄɨռɢ on August 30, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    I feel bad for this guy but I hope this happens to all no life fortnite players



  34. Manuel Lucero on August 30, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    ……How tf am I still alive????



  35. Eobard Thawn on August 30, 2021 at 10:37 pm

    Gamer: Ima do what’s called a *Pro Gamer move*

    On a serious note…fuck this was horrible. Guy was just going through life, was a shitstorm and he only had one avenue of peace. Makes me dejected the dude didn’t make a full recovery…



  36. ShadyShyGuy on August 30, 2021 at 10:37 pm

    Just to be clear his organ shut down because he was sitting 73 hours not because he was playing video games.



  37. Rebecca Conlon on August 30, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Taking no lifer literally



  38. Music Lover on August 30, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Okay I have a proposition to make my fellow gamers. Why don’t we all invest into getting a wall TV and start gaming standing up from now on so hopefully what happened to this guy will never happen to any other gamers.



  39. c3kr on August 30, 2021 at 10:41 pm

    POV me who has begin playing for 100 hours:yeah like thats ever gonna happen



  40. Pepijn Roosen on August 30, 2021 at 10:41 pm

    I’m watching this as background noise while playing videogames. You scared me for real.



  41. Deoxyribonucleic Acid on August 30, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    Video games don’t keep my attention for more than 30 minutes😂



  42. ahmed on August 30, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    I dont believe this story

    I know monks who sat with no movements for weeks
    With light symptoms but not like this



  43. joao victor on August 30, 2021 at 10:46 pm

    why you making a video about my regular weekend?



  44. G on August 30, 2021 at 10:46 pm

    this is why video games should be banned



  45. ‎ on August 30, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    his mother must feel terrible. this is such a sad story



  46. TheZotmeister on August 30, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    "presenting to the emergency room… dead on arrival."
    Well, I guess that means he’s…
    [puts on sunglasses]
