They failed to mentioned that he's underage and shouldn't have MW3 because of the "M" rating. Parents are so stupid, I bet she bought that for him.

It wouldn't be as bad if it was a 4 day skyrim marathon but I just don't understand how he could play that much MW3. It got sick of it after a few games.

Wonderful. Another stupid person to make all gamers look bad. Gotta love it....

I'll never understand these kinds of people.

Sure games are fun but to play one non stop is just crazy.

Marathons are understandable...if it were a lonely adult with no job and no responsibilites. But a 15 year old kid? Where were the parents? What about school?

I can barely play MW3 for 4 minutes these days let alone 4 days so I have no idea how anyone could manage this.Gazkapop

that's incredibly sad

15 years old is old enough to know what he is doing is dangerious.. Everyone is saying "where are his parents".. but he's 15! I was being left at home alone by the time I had turned 13. I made myself meals, did my hwk, knew when to stop playing video games to take a break. My addiction is NHL.. I can easily sit down and pump out 4 or 5 hours straight of it... So i understand how hard it can be to put a game down...At 15 this is an easy concept.. If he had mabe austism or something I could see this as I know a lot of austism kids turn to video games. It keeps them busy and they are usually good at them.. To me this isn't a sad story.. it's a wtf is wrong with the kids in the world today story... 15 is plenty old to be making life decisions... when playing a video game becomes a life or death decision then the kid just has some issues.

4 days for Modern Warfare 3 will do that to you. How can anyone play that game for 4 straight days? 4 hours and I am done.

I can barely play MW 3 for an hour before getting pissed off with all the garbage in that game. Terrible maps, respawns, overpowered guns, and a garbage community that thinks camping takes skill or makes you good. MW 3 is the worse in the series and I am done with Call of Duty thank God Halo 4 is comming this. But yea, this story is sad, society is really going downhill for sure.
