IT'S A TRAP
That is all.

Impossibru. Plain impossibru.
Guys, this article is actually true.
DVT is real, and it can happen from immobilization. It most often happens to frequent fliers and hospitalized patients. The most likely cause of death from DVT though, is gangrene in the leg. It can move to the lungs and cause heart failure, which is more rare, but more deadly.
The odds of getting this are 1 in 150, every year, and the odds of dying are 1 in 10.
One out of every 1500 people every year die from this. That's about 4666667 deaths each year.

All I got to say is awesome parenting. Why are parents letting their kids become lazy and fat? Plus there is no mention of how many 4Locos he consumed. No mention of the kids diet. Yes video games kill. Yea right.
Wait….Halo 4? Wasn't that just announced at this years E3?
Another version of the story:http://blog.games.yahoo.com/blog/866-xbox-addict-dies-from-blood-clot/
He DID died,but not because of the "Halo 4".
They still blame Videogames though :(
lolololol let's make a habit look like a problem.
Because we're the media.
And we're DICKS!

I'm actually not suprised of this. It's easy to blame the gamers. Happened before a lot of times. People just see this as the perfect excuse. And the media easily believes them, all for a good story. Even the guy responsible for the attacks in Norway says he got the idea from Modern Warfare 2.
Don't blame the games themselves; blame the parents for not making their children take a break and for the parents not teaching their kids when they're on their own to take a break. The dude played it for 12 hours straight. It wasn't the games fault. It was his own.

In the same position for 12 hours?
I mean someone usually just stretches or changes position.
Also most kids forget there is a pause button in their controllers.
Because that video game held him down and forced him to play all day.
Yep. Devil's machines, them vidyah gaems.
"Deep vein thrombosis normally affects passengers on long-haul flights"
Nooooooo it doesn't
Sitting for long periods and immobilization(such as an arm being unable to move in a cast for several months) can "increase" its risk, and "passengers on long-haul flights" are not the demographic mostly affected by this. People with "long list of things like obesity, recent surgery, cancer, etc" are the most affected.

Simply put when you don't move your knees for a very long period of time your blood with clot and travel to your brain and kill you.

Fortunately for people in comas though, since they can't play Halo 4, they are unaffected by this.
Fun fact: more people die from drowning in their own toilets than shark attacks per year.
Of course, the media never covers those.
Wait, I knew this guy! We had just got done playing CoD Black Ops 2 and we were just about to hop on Half Life Ep3 on our WiiU. Good times.

Last time I heard, about 100 people die of shark attacks a year.
Or are you just being funny and not serious?

Now all we need is someone who got mindf*cked because they saw Giygas looked like a fetus.
Here is HOW the reason Giygas looks like a fetus.
