In the name of science ā or because his domestic situation was driving him nuts ā a Chinese man played games at a cyber cafe for four straight days. The good news? That will only temporarily blind you.
Unlike porn, which yada yada insert joke here rimshot hey-oooo. Anyway, according to the China Daily, a man of indeterminate age named Xu, of Xining, had been quarreling with his wife and then embarked on an online game marathon at a local cafe. Doctors said Xu complained of losing his vision, but apparently it was only temporary. Iām sure the 96 straight hours without a wink had nothing to do with this, either.
Since this has happened before (also in China), I hope that game makers will add a ādonāt play this for 96 hoursā surgeon generalās warning to the āImportant Health Warning About Playing Video Gamesā that no one reads in the front of the manual.
